Haritaya Itoin Senbei
The 'Itoin Senbei' is an elegant confection from Ise, crafted by Haritaya, which was founded in Man'en 1 (1860). It is a thin-baked rice cracker with a diameter of 3.8 cm. 'Itoin' refers to the copper seals used as proof of transaction for raw silk that arrived from China during the Muromachi period. These 16 types of seals are baked onto each individual cracker. It is a prestigious item said to have been devised as an offering when Emperor Meiji visited Ise Jingu following the victory report of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. The batter, baked with eggs, flour, sugar, and salt, produces a light, crispy texture and a subtle, elegant sweetness. It is a long-established confection of Ise that you can enjoy while feeling the essence of history.
