From today, I decided to introduce Japanese sweets and snacks.
Because it was so excited about the time when I searched foreign country’s snacks before l visit there.
First, I recommend “SETOSHIO”.
This is a rice cracker characterized by the flavor of shrimp and saltiness. It has the umami of shrimp very strongly. It was knead the small shrimp into the dough and fried softly.
Because of the rich taste of shrimp, you can feel Japan in one bite.
And, noteworthy feature is texture of them. It’s very crispy. We say crispy “sakusaku” in Japanese. Exactly this word “sakusaku” fits this snack perfectly.
*Recently it seems the packaging has changed.
Ingredients and nutrition label is as detailed below.
I bought it in pharmacy near my house. I got it for 150 yen at there. (The price is as of June 2024) You can find it at any supermarket, too. In Japan, snacks are often cheaper at farmacy than at supermarkets or convenience stores.
Please be sure to try it 🙂
