Mitsutoshi Honpo Peanut Rice Cracker Marukofune
A fragrant rice cracker inspired by the boats that once carried the history of Lake Biwa. Mitsutoshi Honpo of Nagahama has kneaded peanuts into the dough and baked them to a perfect crisp. The 'Marukofune' (round boat) from which it takes its name was a wooden sailing vessel that once served as the backbone of water transport on Lake Biwa. During the Edo period, over 1,300 such vessels floated on the lake, transporting local specialties like rice, kelp, and Japanese paper. As you enjoy a piece while reflecting on the history of this lakeside region, you will find the exquisite balance between the nuttiness of the peanuts and the subtle sweetness of the dough. Its light, crispy texture makes it impossible to stop at just one. It is a quintessential Nagahama souvenir, perfect as an accompaniment to tea or as a snack with drinks.
