Japanese Traditional Rice Crackers : Nori Maki Arare/ Kaki No Tane 2packs (Kaki No Tane Original)

I’m crazy about these crackers! Love the tangy coating on them and the great crunch. Very satisfying with white wine too!

Been my favorite snack since I found them as a child

We love these in our mix we make. Always fresh and not broken. We’ve been ordering these for a couple years and like to mix them with wasabi peas and other rice crackers. Great snack….

These taste right and are authentic. These are the traditional type (not spicy hot). They have a soy sauce taste, but it's mild, not strong. Just what I wanted. I have decided to make my own Chex Mix, but I do not like a lot of mini-pretzel sticks, although a few of them are good, as are bite-size Shredded Wheat cereal and crispy garlic rye slices. I plan to get Chex cereal and then use it with a blend of butter, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, cheese powder, garlic powder, and whatever else appears to be good--not all flavored and spiced the same way, so there is variety. The official Cheddar Chex Mix product is excellent, so I think I can duplicate it with cheese powder by dusting some of the Chex cereal. I am ordering Japanese snacks to use instead of a lot of mini-pretzel sticks. I need to order more Japanese snacks that look like these but are hot and spicy. The contrast will be good. I found some on Amazon that have three flavors (Soy [like these], Wasabi, and Ume-shiso [ume plum & perilla]) and ordered them. Wasabi will be hot, but I need to find some that are hot and spicy (cayenne pepper). I have no conscious idea why I am doing this, but perhaps it's a matter of revisiting the 1950s and 1960s when homemade Chex Mix was popular? Japanese are obsessed with quality, so I like Japanese snacks made in Japan by Japanese. Sometimes I am hungry but do not want to eat a heavy meal, so I enjoy some Chex Mix and ice-cold Cherry Kool-Aid made with Imperial Pure Cane Sugar. FACT: A cup or two of Chex Mix costs a lot less than a ribeye steak or a 15 lbs. roast turkey, so I am saving money while enjoying a sensible snack, which makes sense. It's crunchy, so you feel like you are enjoying a lot of food when actually it's just a cup or two of Chex cereal, Japanese rice snacks, garlic rye crisps, Shredded Wheat, and various flavoring and spices.

My family loves these! Salty, crunchy, and a little spicy. So delicious and still crunchy and fresh. Would give 5 stars, but both bags had suffered some mild crushing damage. About 10-15% of each bag was broken into smaller pieces. That said, they were still edible and delicious. Would buy again with the hope for slightly better handling/packaging.

These are the perfect snack. Always fresh. Thank you !

Absolutely LOVE these rice crackers! I'm basically addicted to them at this point. As soon as I start my second bag, I know I need to order more.

Great rice crackers - I normally buy them from a local source but these are much better and more reasonably priced.
