Biwa Lake Shrimp Rice Crackers

These are fragrant shrimp rice crackers that capture the bounty of Lake Biwa. They are produced by Shiga Takara, a company that has created numerous souvenirs for Shiga. Using an abundance of shrimp harvested from off the coast of Takashima and Makino in mid-winter, the shrimp are kneaded into dough made from Shiga-grown Omi rice and baked at the foot of Mount Mikami, known as Omi Fuji. It is a unique Shiga cracker where the blessings of the lake meet the blessings of the earth. Along with a crispy, light texture, the savory aroma of shrimp spreads throughout your mouth. Because they are baked to incorporate air, their addictive lightness is also a charm. Perfect for pairing with tea or alcohol, these are a popular Shiga souvenir enjoyed by all generations.
