Heiji Senbei
Do you know the slightly poignant tale of filial piety passed down in Asokoura? Heiji Senbei is a famous confection from Tsu City, produced by the Heiji Senbei Honpo, founded in 1913. It tells the story of Heiji, a devoted son who continued to fish in waters where fishing was prohibited to provide for his ailing mother. Eventually, a single hat left behind on the beach served as evidence, leading to his capture. This senbei was created in the shape of that 'forgotten hat.' Baked using only eggs, flour, and sugar, these thin, hat-shaped crackers feature a crispy texture and a gentle egg sweetness, subtly embedding the story of a son's love for his mother. It is a must-try specialty when visiting Tsu.
