Tonosama Negi Senbei (Lord's Green Onion Rice Cracker)
While pungent when raw, Shinjita green onions become surprisingly sweet when cooked. We have captured the unique character of these onions in a single rice cracker: the "Tonosama Negi Senbei." Shinjita green onion is a specialty of Gunma Prefecture, also known by the nickname "Tonosama Negi" (Lord's Green Onion). Legend has it that the name originates from an 1805 historical document where a lord commanded, "Send 200 green onions immediately." We have baked these into fragrant rice crackers, utilizing the savory umami of the onion that transforms from spicy to sweet when heated. The combination of the onion's sweet richness and the toasted aroma of the cracker makes it perfect as an accompaniment to tea or a snack with beer. This bag is a true taste of Gunma, allowing you to easily enjoy the unique essence of Shinjita green onions.

Shimonita Negi Senbei (Shimonita Leek Rice Cracker)
A dish made by turning Shimonita leeks—which are too spicy to eat raw but become mellow and sweet when cooked—into rice crackers. The fragrant, roasted aroma and crispy texture are addictive. You can take home the flavor of these rare leeks that can only be harvested around Shimonita Town.
