Iwatsuka Saku Saku Senbei — Whitebait & Almond (しらすとアーモンドのサクサクせんべい) 61g — a crisp, light-salted senbei with domestic shirasu (whitebait), roasted almond and roasted sesame kneaded right through the dough rather than scattered on top. The small black specks you can see on the surface are the roasted shirasu itself. 20 crackers, packed as 10 sachets of 2.
About Iwatsuka
Iwatsuka Confectionery Co., Ltd. (岩塚製菓) is a Niigata rice-cracker maker founded in 1947 as an agricultural processing plant in Iwatsuka Village — now part of Nagaoka City — and renamed to its present name in 1960.
What "senbei" and "shirasu" are
Senbei (せんべい) are rice crackers baked from ordinary uruchi rice, giving a firmer, crisper snap than the mochi-rice okaki. Shirasu (しらす) are tiny young whitebait — an everyday Japanese ingredient eaten whole, most often over rice, and here worked into the cracker dough for a savoury, faintly briny depth.
