Ono-cha Senbei (Ono Tea Rice Crackers)

These are pleasantly bitter and fragrant rice crackers kneaded with Ono-cha, a famous tea from Yamaguchi. Ono-cha is grown in the tea fields of the Ono district in Ube City. The mist rising from Lake Ono and the temperature fluctuations between day and night cultivate a deep sweetness and rich flavor. It is surprising to learn that most of the tea produced in Yamaguchi Prefecture is this very Ono-cha. These crackers, infused with that tea, feature a simple, rustic taste where the fragrant dough and the tea's aroma harmonize perfectly. Serving tea crackers alongside tea might seem like a slightly strange combination, but as soon as you take a bite, the aroma of the tea gently wafts through your mouth. The way the umami of the tea spreads with every chew is truly captivating. It is a local specialty that brings a moment of peace and relaxation to your heart.
