Okaki Rice Crackers – Shio (Salt) (OUT OF STOCK)

Description

Curator’s Notes

We tried these crackers for the first time in Kyoto with tea and got hooked! We knew immediately we needed to carry them – not just to share with clients, but also to have an endless supply for ourselves! They are hand made by one man, who produces them in a traditional way, before food companies started to use big factory machines. He first makes the mochi rice cakes in a stone mortar with a wood pestle. Then he cuts the mochi into thin slices and lets them dry in the sun and air. Afterwards they are roasted by hand, ten slices at a time.

This pack is lightly flavoured with coarse salt (shio). It has a hint of sweetness from the rice and is well suited alongside tea.
