Hard-Baked Kawara Senbei Crackers from a Historic Shop—Perfect Souvenir
About this spot
A long-established confectionery shop located in Hyogo-cho Shopping Street, renowned as a premier maker of kawara senbei crackers—the signature souvenir of Takamatsu. These crackers are made by baking dough enriched with Sanuki wasan-bon sugar into a hard, tile-shaped form. With each bite, the simple sweetness and aromatic toastiness spread across your palate in a flavor that never grows tiresome. Available in sizes ranging from palm-sized small tiles to face-sized large ones, their display in the shop is impressive. The shop's solid, nostalgic interior makes souvenir shopping itself a memorable part of your journey—a must-visit that conveys Takamatsu's refined confectionery culture.
Tips
Kawara senbei are quite hard, so small sizes are safer for small children or elderly relatives. Large tiles are fragile during transport; consider shipping if your trip is long. It's just a short walk from Marugame-cho Shopping Street.
Best time to visit
Allow about 30 minutes. Early afternoon is when the shop is calm, letting you browse leisurely.
