Ōme-Senbei
Japanese notation "青梅せんべい"
“Ryumaru” located in Ōme City, Tokyo, was established in 1945 and is a popular rice cracker shop in the community with “Ōme-Senbei” as its signature product.
Ōme senbei is a traditional rice cracker that has been handed down in the region, which means that it is made by many confectioners in the Ōme area.
Ōme senbei is characterized by its shape that resembles a plum flower. It looks cute, but the texture is quite firm and hard.
The basic ingredients of this rice cracker are flour and eggs, but it took a lot of strength to break it in half, as if it were mixed with a syrup-like ingredient.
The taste is slightly sweet with the flavor of flour and eggs, and the price is surprisingly reasonable, at less than 100 yen per piece including tax. It is easy to see why they have been loved for so long.
