Oshiage Senbei

Several reviewers say they were surprised by the bite-sized burdock rice crackers at Oshiage Senbei. These rice snacks make an easy treat while exploring Sugamo, and a favourite flavour could also make a thoughtful gift to take home.

The small okaki rice crackers are an easy size to enjoy in one sitting, yet reviewers mention them as particularly memorable. Flavours such as river seaweed, plum and curry are also among the options. One reviewer found the river-seaweed okaki satisfyingly salty and thought it would go well with a drink.

For a firmer crunch, consider the hard-baked senbei or genkotsu crackers. One diner found the sansho-pepper senbei spicy but kept eating; black sesame and green seaweed offer other flavours to try. Assorted arare and sesame crackers are also available in small portions, giving you the choice of savouring a hard cracker or sampling several bite-sized varieties.
