Hand-roasting experience making Soka's famous rice crackers
About this spot
Soka has been the premium maker of "Soka senbei" (rice crackers) since the Edo period. Local senbei shops sometimes offer hand-roasting experiences where you can roast your own crackers, enjoying the fragrant aroma and freshly-roasted flavor. The savory soy sauce-glazed aroma rising from freshly-roasted senbei creates an unforgettable memory you can't experience elsewhere. A fun, easy activity for both children and adults.
