Hino Yasazuke Arare
A subtle pink appearance accented by a sharp, pungent flavor. These are rice crackers truly representative of Shiga, made with Hino's specialty, Hino Yasazuke. Hino Yasazuke is a traditional vegetable said to have been discovered about five hundred years ago by Gamo Sadahide, the lord of Hino Town. It is a type of elongated turnip that is purple at the leaves and turns white toward the root. Because it takes on a beautiful color like cherry blossoms when pickled, it is also known as 'Sakura-zuke' (cherry blossom pickle) and was once presented to the Emperor. The flavor of that Hino Yasazuke is brought to life in these crackers. The faint spiciness and saltiness pair perfectly with the savory aroma of the rice crackers. It is a treat that makes you want to reach for a second bag.
