Kuriyama Agemochi Biyori — Shio (揚げもち日和 しお味) 70 g — bite-sized fried mochi crackers with a crisp, light texture, finished with yaki-shio (roasted salt) from Akō for a clean, mellow saltiness, and lightly accented with chilli and onion. Befco cuts them small deliberately, so they are easy to eat by the handful. Part of the Agemochi Biyori range Befco launched in February 2023.
About Kuriyama Beika (Befco)
Kuriyama Beika Co., Ltd. (株式会社栗山米菓), which trades as Befco, is a rice-cracker maker established on 5 February 1949 and still headquartered in Niigata City, in Japan's main rice-growing prefecture. Alongside Agemochi Biyori it makes the Bakauke (ばかうけ) senbei line and the Nagisa Arare (渚あられ) range.
What is age-mochi?
Age-mochi (揚げもち) are rice crackers made by frying glutinous mochi rice rather than baking it. Frying gives a lighter, airier and more brittle bite than a baked senbei, and a richer mouthfeel — which is why a simple salt finish works so well on the style.
What makes it distinctive
- Fried mochi with a crisp, light texture (カラッとサクサク).
- Finished with yaki-shio — roasted salt — from Akō, rather than plain table salt.
- Chilli and onion powder in the seasoning, for a savoury edge behind the salt.
- Cut one-bite small — Befco positions the size as easy for children and for smaller appetites.
