This was eaten as a non-perishable food. Soka Senbei, which have a hard and crisp texture and do not contain additives such as coloring agents, are loved by many people, from both children to adults. This is why many people buy assorted rice crackers for celebrations, gifts, presents, souvenirs, etc., and they can also be purchased online. Genuine Soka Senbei have a regional collective trademark on them as a symbol of authenticity to preserve the traditional flavor.
