Fujiya Shamoji Senbei

A lovely rice cracker from Fujiya, shaped like the famous Miyajima 'shamoji' (rice scoop). The Miyajima shamoji is a good luck charm; it is said that during the Kansei era, a monk named Seishin taught the islanders how to make them as tools for scooping rice. Because the phrase 'taking rice' (meshi o toru) sounds like 'defeating an enemy' (teki o meshitoru), it has been cherished as a lucky charm for competitions and victory. The thin, baked dough mimics the shape of the scoop, featuring a light, crispy texture with the simple sweetness of sugar and egg. It is a perfect accompaniment to tea, and its bite-sized portions make it easy to enjoy. Infused with the good fortune of 'scooping up luck,' it is the ideal souvenir to commemorate a visit to Miyajima.
