Yamada Senbei

Yamada raw rice crackers are characterized by their soft texture, and the more you chew, the more the sweetness and sesame flavor spreads in your mouth. Unlike regular senbei, this is a raw type senbei with a thin batter that does not require any baking process. It can be eaten grilled, fried, or even raw.
