Atari-Maeda-no-Cricket

Easy and tasty like mini size cookies

Maeda Confectionery in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, is too famous for producing “Atari Maeda-no-Cracker” but this time I bought “Atari-Maeda-no-Cricket”.  “Cricket” seems to be a bite-sized biscuit.

Maeda Seika is a confectionery manufacturer with a history of over 100 years, founded in 1918, and has been manufacturing crackers and cookies since its establishment, making it a pioneer in biscuit production in Japan. The packaging is also cute with a retro look.

The cookies were about the size of a fingertip. It also had the feel of a small cookie that had been baked to a golden brown.

The bottom surface is well baked and has a hard texture. It is shaped like a macaroon, but it is really a bite-sized piece.

It has a crispy, crunchy, cookie-like texture around the edges, with the aroma of well roasted flour, but also a hint of sweetness, eggy and buttery flavor. Delicious, excellent with milk or coffee.
