Oeyama Oni Senbei
A rice cracker shaped like an ogre's (oni) face, inspired by 'Oeyama,' a mountain famous for its legend of demon extermination. Oeyama stands on the border of Tango and Tanba provinces and is said to have been the home of Shuten-doji, the leader of the demons. Shuten-doji is a renowned demon in Japan, famously defeated by Minamoto no Yorimitsu and his retainers. This legend has long been embraced by the people, serving as subject matter for Kabuki and fairy tales. With its simple sweetness and a somewhat humorous ogre face, this is a slightly delightful treat that you can enjoy with a crisp crunch while imagining the ancient stories passed down in Tango.
