Maruyama Karakara Senbei
A traditional candy passed down in Tsuruoka City and the Shonai region of Yamagata Prefecture. It is a fun treat where breaking a triangular rice cracker reveals a small folk toy inside. The name comes from the 'karakara' sound made by the toy inside when you shake the cracker. The triangular dough, made with plenty of brown sugar from Okinawa, has a fragrant and rustic flavor. There are about 150 different types of toys hidden inside, so what you get is a surprise until you break it open. The excitement is much like drawing an omikuji (fortune). It is a two-in-one treat: delicious to eat and fun to break. As a souvenir from Shonai, it is a product that delights both children and adults.
