Soft Salad (ソフトサラダ) is one of Kameda Seika's long-running soft senbei. The maker describes it as an umashio (savoury-salt) rice cracker, baked golden and fluffy by the amiyaki net-grilling method for a light, crisp, snappy bite. The salt is rounded out with bonito extract, so it reads savoury and umami-rich rather than simply salty. The bag holds 20 crackers in 10 individually sealed packets of two.
About Kameda Seika
Kameda Seika (亀田製菓) is a Niigata rice-cracker maker, founded in 1946 and incorporated in 1957. It describes itself as a "Rice Innovation Company", holds roughly a third of Japan's rice-cracker market, and counts seven brands that have been on sale for more than fifty years — among them Kaki no Tane and Happy Turn.
What is senbei
Senbei (煎餅) are Japanese rice crackers, made from rice that is milled, shaped and baked or grilled rather than fried. Soft senbei of this kind are lighter and less dense than the hard, glassy varieties, and are typically seasoned simply — with salt, soy sauce or a savoury dashi note — so the toasted rice flavour stays in front.
Ingredients
Non-glutinous rice (grown in the USA and Japan), vegetable oil, starch, salt, bonito extract powder / processed starch, seasoning (amino acids etc.), vegetable lecithin. (Contains soy.)
Allergens
Contains soy and fish (bonito extract). Made in a factory that also handles products containing shrimp, wheat, egg, milk and peanut. The Japanese label declares soy only; fish is declared here in line with Australian requirements, because the product contains bonito extract. For the allergen declaration as printed for the Australian market, please refer to the product packaging.
