On the day of the event, we were guided by President Hiroko Kitahara, who also bakes rice crackers. When I entered the store, the first thing I thought of was the variety of products. Really, there were 🍘 so many types that Kawanishi, who likes rice crackers, could get lost Among them, there were really Many types and, including stained rice crackers and rakkasen. Popularity No,1 is glue No. 2 is doubled No. 3 is apple crackers Next, Nozawana wasabi Nozawana wasabi is rare, isn't it? Nozawana is often seen in Souvenirs shops in the prefecture, but "Nozawana wasabi" is hard to find! Apples, Nozawana, and wasabi are all Nagano specialties. Karin is a specialty of Suwa. Apricots, matcha, white sugar, brown sugar, shichimi, ichimi, miso, green onion miso, walnut miso, garlic, etc. Even in Nagano Prefecture, there is the largest type of rice cracker. I think so. Kasai's recommendations are "garlic" and "twice". Garlic is a gastronomical delicacies with a slight garlic flavor. The second rice cracker has a strong flavor, so you can enjoy the mellow taste of soy sauce. After all, it is hand-baked, so the crunch is the best, and if you like hard rice crackers, this is a recommended store. Among them, the most noteworthy product is "Fukutoku!! Some of you may understand it when you hear "Fukutoku". President Kitahara's grandfather made "Fukutoku". Unlike fortune cookies, fortune cookies have good luck charms inside!! Somehow, I wanted to revive it, and it seems that I was able to reprint it in the generation of President Kitahara. And after all, Shinshu hand-baked rice crackers are hand-baked & Taisha-mae!!
