Sapporo Okaki Oh! Yaki Tōkibi
Japanese notation "札幌おかきOh!焼とうきび"
YOSHIMI Co., Ltd. is a food manufacturer based in Sapporo that mainly operates restaurants throughout Japan. In Hokkaido, corn is called “tōkibi,” and grilled tōkibi is often eaten, especially during the summer.
Odori Park, located in the center of Sapporo, is famous for its “tōkibi wagon” a traditional food stall that sells “roasted tōkibi” throughout the summer.
Lots of lumpy small rice crackers. The aroma of corn wafts through the air.
Actual corn is also mixed in! It’s interesting to see actual corn in a corn-flavored rice cracker as an accent.
There are many corn-based snacks in the world, but I feel that the corn flavor of “okaki” is also a very good match. I think they have a firm, satisfying taste that makes them the perfect snack with beer.
