Miso-iri Ogaki Senbei (Thick-baked)
The more you chew, the more the savory umami of miso spreads. This rice cracker is packed with the traditions of Ogaki. Miso-iri Ogaki Senbei is a famous confection devised by the first generation, Masukichi Tanaka, in 1859 during the late Edo period. After training in senbei making in Osaka, the founder opened a shop in Ogaki, a castle town with a 100,000-koku fief held by the Toda clan. Sweet and mellow koji miso is kneaded into the dough and baked to a fragrant finish without using eggs. The beautiful 'gloss' on the surface is born from the skilled technique of applying a thin layer of oil to the mold before baking. It is counted as one of the three famous confections of Ogaki, alongside 'Kaki-yokan' and 'Kinchou Manju.' Its firm texture and miso aroma pair perfectly with both tea and alcoholic beverages.

Miso-filled Ogaki Senbei (Thick-baked)
A thick-baked version of the traditional miso senbei from Ogaki. Compared to the thin variety, it offers a crunchier bite and allows the flavor of the miso to spread slowly across the palate. Known as the 'City of Water,' Ogaki is a region where high-quality water has long supported the art of confectionery making.
