Tochinomi Senbei Shonai-yaki
This is a simple baked rice cracker made using horse chestnut (tochi) seeds gathered from the mountains of Shonai. Horse chestnuts are the fruits of the Japanese horse chestnut tree that grows wild in the mountains of Tohoku. They have a strong bitterness, and an intensive process of leaching out tannins is essential to make them edible. Since ancient times, people have used their wisdom and effort to continue eating these seeds. 'Shonai-yaki' is a product where the bitterness and aroma of the horse chestnut harmonize with the sweetness of rock sugar. Each cracker is carefully baked by hand. The rich flavor that spreads as you chew is the very blessing of the Shonable mountains. This simple, addictive taste has been loved across generations. Please enjoy this traditional flavor along with some tea.
