Founded 110 years ago, this is a well-known rice cracker shop.
We make senbei one at a time by hand, baking them over charcoal in a very hot brick oven. Soy sauce from this region covers the top. Scrupulous use of local ingredients lets us continue to offer a traditional taste.
Of course we have tamari senbei, but our Kitakata Ramen Senbei are made with Kitakata ramen soup flavor and pepper, and are really worth sampling.
In addition, visitors can experience turning rice crackers over a charcoal burner! Mugwort and salt are mixed into the batter for Mochikusa Senbei, and you can watch them puff up when you cook them. If you would like to do this, please telephone an hour ahead so we can heat up the burner.
On Saturday and Sunday you can just come on in and do this right away.
