Stable quality. All delicious Sanko Seika rice crackers (“osenbei”)
Hello, my name is Kimura and I live in northern Tokyo. My blog has been a little stagnant. The temperature in Tokyo is very comfortable right now. Now is a good time for motorcycle touring. It will get hotter from now on, so now is the best time for comfortable touring!
Today, I would like to introduce you to the rice crackers (osenbei) mentioned in the title. In English, it is easy to understand with rice and crackers. O-senbei is a traditional Japanese rice snack. It is made by baking or frying. They come in a variety of flavors, including the traditional soy sauce flavor, salt flavor, and many other variations. Rice crackers are loved by all generations, from children to adults.
Sanko Sei
I bought some rice crackers made by a Japanese confectionery company called Sanko. The products of this company, Sanko, are sold in most supermarkets. You will not find a store that does not carry both Kameda and Sanko. Sanko is an unlisted company even though they sell their products all over the place. It is surprising.
It is a golden package. It’s a bit gaudy, but what’s the point? The kanji written in the upper left corner is the Sanko logo. It is written “三幸” with a feeling.Price
I don’t remember the price, but I think it is about 200 yen. The bag is very large.
I opened the bag. There are 14 pieces in the bag. Well, it’s 200 yen, so it’s OK. In Japan, they sometimes reduce the quantity without raising the price. But let’s think that it’s good for our body committee not to overeat!
Palm-sized, individually wrapped.

As you would expect from Sanko. The size of the package and the actual product are accurate. This rice cracker is sweet soy sauce flavor. It is the most popular flavor. There are different types of rice crackers in terms of hardness, but this one is softer. You can eat it with your front teeth. Even the elderly can eat them. It goes very well with tea or barley tea.
Where can I buy rice crackers?
When you travel around Tokyo, you can find rice crackers at various sightseeing spots. There are rice cracker specialty stores in famous sightseeing spots. Also, if you are like me and eat rice crackers on a daily basis, you can find them in supermarkets and convenience stores. Rice crackers are light and often packaged in small packages, so they make good souvenirs. However, please note that some specialty stores have hard rice crackers, so be careful for elderly people who are worried about their teeth!
