Kawara Senbei
A simple, crunchy, hard-baked rice cracker—that is Kawara Senbei. It is known as the signature confection of Kutsuwa-do, a long-established shop in Takamatsu founded around 1877. As the name suggests, it originated from being shaped like the roof tiles of Takamatsu Castle (Tamamo Castle). Using white sugar produced during the Sanuki Wasanbon sugar process, high-quality flour (also used for famous Sanuki Udon), and eggs, artisans carefully hand-bake each piece, taking about twenty minutes per cracker. Both the ingredients and the method are a combination truly unique to Sanuki. This traditional confection representing Takamatsu features an elegant sweetness and a crunchy texture that becomes addictive. It is a perfect souvenir from Kagawa to enjoy with tea.
