Senbei are traditional Japanese rice crackers made from glutinous or non-glutinous rice. They can be baked or fried and come in various shapes, sizes, and flavors. Common seasonings include soy sauce, salt, and seaweed, giving them a savory taste. Some senbei are sweet, flavored with ingredients like sugar or matcha.
These snacks are often enjoyed with tea and are popular during festivals and celebrations in Japan. Senbei can be found in many stores, ranging from small local shops to large supermarkets, and are a favorite treat for both locals and tourists.
