Curry Beaver

The rich, mild curry flavor is addictive!

“Curry Beaver” made by Hokuriku Seika in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, is a deep-fried rice cracker that has long been loved in Hokuriku since its launch in 1970.

“Beaver” is the mascot character of Hokuriku Seika. He wears a turban to emphasize the curry flavor. He is adorable.

By the way, the question “Why beaver? The explanation is on the back of the package, which explains that the name comes from the similarity between the teeth of the beaver doll in the Canadian Pavilion at the 1970 Osaka World’s Fair and the shape of two pieces of candy lined up side by side.

Upon opening the package, a large amount of curry seasoning is sprinkled on the rice cracker. The black spots are kelp. Ishikawa Prefecture is also famous for “Kanazawa Curry,” so there seems to be a particular taste for curry.

So this is what beaver teeth look like… Yes, if you ask me.

It has a full-bodied, spicy taste with a strong flavor. The mild curry flavor is distinctive and reminds me of “Kanazawa Curry”. In addition to the curry flavor, the “okaki” itself has a simple and delicious taste.
