The last three decades or so have seen the |
estimated value of Japan's market in sweets |
and snacks increase tenfold to an
astonishing 3.5 trillion yen per year. The |
convenient catchall Japanese term used to
encapsulate such items is okashi. As well
as globally ubiquitous favorites like
potato chips, cookies, and chocolates
(albeit often with a Japanese twist), the
category also includes a host of indigenous |
treats (or wagashi) with a history going
back several centuries. On the savory front |
Japan's crispy, crunchy answer to the
potato chip is senbei rice crackers. Made
from rice that has been pounded into a
glutinous mass before being fried or
grilled, senbei come in all shapes and
sizes, and are commonly flavored with
seasonings such as salt, soy sauce, and
shrimp.
