It's savory and salty without being overly fishy, and the crackers even have an oblong shape to look more like the actual sea urchin. A common feature in any ohanami (flower viewing) bento, this snack will ready you for the spring!

With real edamame bits baked into the cracker, this senbei is made by finely grinding green soybeans and is peppered with kinako (roasted soybean powder), which causes it to pack a powerful punch.
While kinako literally means "yellow flour", it is commonly known as "soybean flour". Kinako is commonly used in sweets, but this rice cracker highlights the nutty flavor hidden within kinako.
PRODUCT DETAILS:
This cake is certainly pretty in pink! It’s flavored with real sakura flowers, and if you’re lucky you may even find a whole blossom baked into your cake. Gentle in flavor, soft in texture, it truly reminds us of Japan’s cherry blossom blooms. If you do stumble upon a flower, you may notice sudden saltiness, and that’s because sakura are often preserved in salt for use in food and drinks.

FAQ:
Many Japanese snackmakers rely on tourism for the majority of their sales in the year. Because of COVID-19 and the decrease in international and domestic travel, some of our makers have temporarily paused production on our favorite snacks. It is unfortunate, but we have found yummy alternatives to use instead.
HAPPY SNACKING!
