Itsukushima (Miyajima) Street Food: Rice Crackers

20071016MiyajimaStreetFoodRiceCracker.jpg

I yearn for these rice crackers found on the island of Itsukushima.  Sakata doesn’t even come close to the thick, spicy, smoky flavours of these beauties once they come off the hot grill.  To eat them still warm is absolutely crunchy bliss.

They come in a variety of flavours too – although as you can see, I’m not really sure what flavours we ate (I think it was some sort of sancho pepper).  But they come plain, wrapped in nori, or peppered heavily with spices.

For a daintier version, this store sold take home packs of smaller biscuits.  How great is the packaging?
