Sennan Mizunasu Senbei (Water Eggplant Rice Crackers)
A unique souvenir that transforms the iconic summer vegetable of Senshu, the Mizunasu, into rice crackers. Senshu Mizunasu is a specialty product cultivated in the Sennan area since the Edo period. It is said to be called 'Mizunasu' (water eggplant) because its skin is very soft and it contains plenty of moisture, which workers used to squeeze to moisten their throats during breaks from field work. With low astringency and such a juicy texture that it can even be eaten raw, lightly pickled Mizunasu is a staple Senshu souvenir. The idea of incorporating that unique flavor into rice crackers is a quintessential Senshu creation. An unexpected combination of vegetable and rice cracker. You'll find yourself curious about the taste, wanting to snack on them with your tea.
