Usuki Senbei
"Usuki Senbei" is a famous confection passed down in the castle town of Usuki for about 400 years. Each thin piece bears the marks of the craftsman's patient handiwork. It is said to have begun when the Inaba clan entered the Usuki domain, with the crackers being baked as a preserved food. The characteristic method involves baking a thin batter made of flour, sugar, and eggs, then carefully applying a syrup made from boiled ginger and sugar with a brush, stroke by stroke. The faint brush marks left on the surface are proof of the craftsman's handmade process. With a light, crispy texture, a subtle hint of ginger spice, and a gentle sweetness, it is a simple and warm flavor rooted in the castle town, perfect as an accompaniment to touring the National Treasure Usuki Stone Buddhas.
