Iwatsuka Seika Kinako Mochi Senbei Rice Crackers with Roasted Soya Flour & Wasanbon Sugar 19pcs

Kinako — roasted soya flour — has been used in Japanese confectionery for centuries, and this cracker from Iwatsuka Seika shows why it has endured. Each piece is a thin, lightly crisped rice cracker dusted generously with kinako and a blend of sugar that uses 50% wasanbon — a refined artisan cane sugar from Shikoku, known for its fine texture and delicate, clean sweetness that differs noticeably from standard granulated sugar. A touch of cinnamon adds warmth and depth without drawing too much attention to itself. The overall effect is a cracker that melts quickly and gently on the palate — not crunchy in the way of a standard senbei, but soft and yielding, with the nutty warmth of kinako carrying through to the finish. A natural companion to green tea or hojicha, and an elegant choice for a Japanese sweet gift.
