Saiku Arare
In Meiwa Town lies Saiku, an elegant area where the Saio—priestesses who served the Ise Grand Shrine—once lived. There is a rice cracker named after this very place. Mie has long been a region active in rice cracker production. For generations, people have enjoyed simple, rustic crackers made by lightly roasting high-quality glutinous rice with just a touch of salt. In this area, a way of eating called 'Ochazuke Arare'—where warm tea or dashi is poured over the crackers—has also taken root. The moment the liquid is poured, the crispy, roasted grains gently soften, allowing their savory aroma and subtle saltiness to melt into the broth. Whether enjoyed as a snack on its own or with tea poured over them, it is a comforting flavor nurtured by a land steeped in history.
