Mint Bureau Senbei (Coins Crackers)
A commemorative cracker inspired by the cherry blossom tunnel walk, a spring tradition at the Japan Mint (the national agency that produces coins and medals). It is said that sales began around 1955 and has been beloved for a long time. These tile-shaped crackers are shaped like coins, with intricate designs such as the paulownia flower found on the 500-yen coin expressed through heat branding. The crispy texture and simple, gentle sweetness pair well with both coffee and Japanese tea, offering an irresistible flavor that makes you want to eat more than one. Take home a round coin cracker as a memento of your visit to the Mint or your cherry blossom viewing. Every time you pick one up, the image of that tunnel of cherry blossoms filling the tree-lined path will softly float before your eyes.
