A Closer Look at Kyoto’s Fox-Shaped Rice Crackers Source :YouTube screenshot The kitsune senbei (狐, Kitsune - "Fox"; 煎餅, Senbei - "Rice Crackers") from Inariya are, as the name suggests, rice crackers shaped like fox masks. There are many stone statues of foxes at Fushimi Inari Shrine, and these cute fox-shaped rice crackers are adorable souvenirs reminiscent of these. The origins of these fox-shaped rice crackers can be traced back to the time when red miso rice crackers baked in Gifu were changed to Kyoto-style white miso. Later, Inariya invented and popularized Kitsune Senbei (きつね煎餅), Tsujiura Senbei (辻占煎餅, Fortune crackers), Otafuku Senbei (お多福煎餅), and other festive rice crackers unique to Fushimi Inari Shrine. Try the Tasty, Fox-Shaped Rice Crackers From Inariya! Source :YouTube screenshot These Kitsune senbei rice crackers are characterized by the fact that they are carefully hand-baked, one sheet at a time, using traditional ingredients. The dough is made by mixing white miso, sesame seeds, and sugar with flour and then baking the rice crackers until they’ve got an addictive, crispy and crunchy texture. You can see the deliciously baked Kitsune Senbei from 2:07 in the video. Kitsune Senbei have won the Kyoto Prefecture Outstanding Craftsmanship Award, as well as the Gold Medal and the Honorary President's Award at the National Confectionary Exposition. The packaging of Inariya's Kitsune Senbei rick crackers is also worth noting as it features impactful illustrations. Inariya's fortune crackers also include a fortune slip that can be exchanged for a souvenir! Chinese and English versions are also available, so foreign tourists can purchase them without having to worry about not understanding them.
