Tainai Okaki - Sweet Shrimp Flavor

A bag truly representative of Niigata, where the bounties of the Sea of Japan meet the land of rice. Tainai City is known as a town of rice flour and is a place where the local glutinous rice 'Kogane-mochi' grows. We have combined okaki (rice crackers) made from this glutinous rice with the flavor of sweet shrimp caught in the Sea of Japan. Located in northern Niigata, Tainai City is a rich rice-producing region where meltwater from the Iide Mountains nourishes the rice paddies. Because we use high-quality glutinous rice, the okaki turns out fluffy and fragrant. After a crispy, light texture, the gentle umami of sweet shrimp slowly spreads through your palate. With its moderate saltiness, it pairs well with both warm tea and cold alcoholic beverages. This okaki allows you to taste the combined blessings of Niigata's sea and rice fields.

  • Tainai Okaki Wasabi Flavor

    A wasabi-flavored okaki (rice cracker) made using "Kogane-mochi," a glutinous rice from Tainai City. The sharp sting of wasabi that pierces the nose and the sweetness of the rice alternate in waves. It is a popular flavor alongside the sweet shrimp version and pairs excellently with beer.
