Kotsurigane Tamago-senbei

Castella-flavored egg crackers baked with special dough

“Kotsurigane Tamago-senbei” made by Tsuriganeya Honpo, established in 1900 in Naniwa-ku, Osaka City, is a sponge cake flavored egg sembei, rice cracker, with a motif of the “Great Temple Bell of Shitennoji,” which has become their symbol of this confectionery.

The large temple bell of Shitennoji Temple is a huge bell that once existed, standing nearly 8 meters high. It was the world’s largest temple bell at that time, but it became a phantom at the end of the Pacific War due to a metal recall ordinance.

The bite-sized rice cracker is shaped like a large Buddhist bell.

The deformed shape of the bell is cute, just like Tsuriganeya Honpo’s signature product, Tsurikane Manju.

Likewise Tsurigane-manju or bite-sized sponge cake, the rice cracker is made from their unique dough.  With a crispy texture, a delicious wheat and egg flavors, the rice cracker tastes just like sponge cake.
