Usukuchi Senbei (Light Soy Sauce Rice Crackers)

These fragrant baked rice crackers are inspired by Tatsuno, the birthplace of light soy sauce (usukuchi shoyu). The savory aroma of the soy sauce paired with a perfect level of saltiness makes them irresistibly tasty. Tatsuno is a premier region for producing light soy sauce, blessed with high-quality wheat from the Harima Plain, salt from Ako, and soft water from the Ibo River. Soy sauce brewing began in this area during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, and by the Edo period, the pale-colored soy sauce born here was encouraged as a 'top-quality domestic product,' leading to great prosperity. This confection captures that traditional flavor in a single cracker. With a crisp bite, the savory aroma of soy sauce spreads throughout your mouth. It is a deeply flavorful snack truly representative of Tatsuno, the home of soy sauce.
