Kaga Shikishi Uchiwa Senbei (Fan-shaped Rice Crackers)
These lovely crackers are shaped like traditional fans (uchiwa), as if carrying a summer breeze. Produced by Kato Koyo-do in Kanazawa, these 'Uchiwa Senbei' consist of thinly pressed glutinous rice crackers coated with a honey glaze and shaped into small fans. Artisans hand-paint each piece with summer motifs such as flowers and birds. Because they are hand-drawn rather than printed, the finishing process requires an incredible amount of time and effort. With the subtle sweetness of Wasanbon sugar and the rustic flavor of glutinous rice melting smoothly in your mouth, it is an elegant treat that is as visually refreshing as it is delicious. Perfect for serving to guests or as a summer gift.

A palm-sized fan-shaped rice cracker where artisans from Kato Koyo-do hand-paint scenes of nature (Kacho Fugetsu) with brushes on each piece. There are over 2,000 different patterns, all colored using the same techniques as Kaga Yuzen dyeing. Featuring a playful design that allows you to eat without getting your hands dirty using a toothpick handle, it is a single piece that embodies Kanazawa's craft culture.
