KAMEDA RICE CRACKER 200g

Rice crackers as Kameda Seika makes them are a traditional snack of Japan. They can be roughly divided into two categories, depending on the main ingredient: and okaki rice crackers are made of glutinous rice, while senbei rice crackers are made of non-glutinous rice. Japan boasts a rich rice culture and there’s an ancient custom of offering rice to the deities to thank for the harvest of this year and pray for a bountiful harvest for next year. These kinds of offerings are made from glutinous rice because it has a comparatively long shelf life. After the offering and once some time has passed, the now hard rice cakes are smashed up, baked, and roasted to be enjoyed. This is said to be the origin of Japanese rice crackers. KamedaSeika
