Description
Befco Seto no Shioage Ebi Aji (瀬戸の塩揚げ 海老味) 76 g — a fried rice cracker (senbei) with small shrimp kneaded directly into the dough, then fried and finished with "Seto no honjio" — a specialty salt harvested from Japan's Seto Inland Sea. The result is a crispy-yet-soft senbei with concentrated shrimp savoury depth and a clean mineral salt finish.
About Befco
Befco (株式会社栗山米菓 / Kuriyama Beika) was founded 1929 in Niigata Prefecture — Japan's rice heartland. Niigata's premium rice has anchored Befco's senbei (rice cracker) business for nearly a century. The flagship Bakauke (ばかうけ) crispy senbei line and the Hoshi Tabeyo (星たべよ) star-shaped senbei brand are pantry staples on the Japanese snack shelf.
Made in Niigata Prefecture by Kuriyama Befco, one of Japan's long-running rice-cracker specialists. Distinctive crisp-soft texture with intense shrimp umami and the mineral cleanness of Seto Inland Sea salt.
What makes it distinctive

- Finished with "Seto no honjio" — specialty salt from the Seto Inland Sea.
- Crispy-yet-soft fried senbei texture — Befco's signature mouthfeel.
- Made in Niigata Prefecture by Kuriyama Befco.
