Staff Information

Tamari rice crackers are simply seasoned with our soy sauce so it tastes lighter than how it coloured. Because rice crackers are processed out of rice, which means the rice itself is the key to make delicious rice crackers. Since Kitakata area is known for producing rice, there are many local shops specialized for rice crackers made from locally grown rice.
This Tamari rice crackers' simply flavoured Japanese light taste will never make you tired!
