Itoin Senbei (Silk Seal Rice Cracker)
How about adding a light baked treat to your Ise souvenirs? Itoin Senbei is a famous confection from Ise, produced by Haritaya, which was founded in 1860 (the first year of the Man'en era). It is said that the recipe was devised as an offering when Emperor Meiji visited Ise Grand Shrine to report the victory of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. The name "Itoin" refers to the copper seal used as proof of transaction on raw silk imported from China in ancient times. The pattern of that seal is baked onto the surface of the cracker. These thin-baked crackers, approximately four centimeters in diameter, are made with eggs, flour, and sugar. They feature a light, crispy texture with a gentle sweetness from the egg that spreads softly across the palate, offering a sophisticated taste.
