About Japanese crackers

Japanese crackers, known as "senbei" or "arare," are traditional rice-based snacks that originated in Japan. Typically made from glutinous or non-glutinous rice, they are seasoned with soy sauce, sugar, or other flavorful coatings and sometimes feature nori seaweed or sesame seeds. These crackers come in various shapes and textures—ranging from crispy and airy to dense and crunchy. Low in fat and calories, they are a lighter alternative to potato chips, though sodium levels can be high due to soy sauce seasoning. Some varieties may also be sweetened, adding additional sugar. Packed with simple carbohydrates and minimal protein, they are a quick source of energy. Their origins in Japanese cuisine make them a popular teatime snack or topping for soups, reflecting the country’s rich culinary tradition. Moderation is key to enjoying Japanese crackers as part of a balanced diet.
