Recently, our team at JumboTaxy.com had the delightful opportunity to take four lovely ladies on a gastronomic adventure to a hidden gem in Soka City, the "Soka Senbei En". Although we were unable to capture their radiant smiles in photos, what we did experience was a culinary tradition that dates back centuries.
Soka Senbei production techniques:
Soka Senbei are no ordinary rice crackers. Great care is taken in the production of Soka senbei, which are made from Uruchi rice. It begins with the rice being ground to a fine powder and steamed to perfection. Once shaped, they are carefully dried and finally baked to a crisp. Traditionally, they are soy-sauce-flavoured and round in shape, but in modern times a variety of flavours are added, including sesame, miso, seaweed and sweet sugar.
Explore the Soka Senbei Garden:
Once you step into the Soka Senbei En, you are in a world of senbei. Not only can you try your hand at making rice crackers, but you can also watch as the cracker makers expertly cook each one over a charcoal fire. After all that excitement, there's nothing better than taking a break in the park's café. Enjoy a taste of the five senses with a selection of desserts, such as a spiral dessert with rice crackers and rice cracker doughnuts.
Bringing back a piece of tradition:.
If you want to take some of this experience home with you, visit the shop, which boasts an assortment of over 120 varieties of rice crackers. From the classic ones to the special Tenhale made from organic rice in the workshop, there is something to suit every taste. And if you're looking for something a little different, there are also straps and leather bags featuring rice crackers!
