About Japanese snack

**Description:** A classic Japanese snack, senbei, is a savory rice cracker made primarily from glutinous rice or normal non-glutinous rice. These crunchy snacks come in a wide variety of flavors, which may include soy sauce, seaweed, sesame seeds, or sweet coatings. Senbei originated in Japanese cuisine, with recipes passed down for centuries, often enjoyed with green tea or as a quick bite. While some types are grilled or baked, others are fried for added crispiness. In terms of nutrition, senbei is low in fat and generally provides a modest energy boost due to its carbohydrate content, making it a healthier alternative to chips or fried snacks. However, some varieties may have higher sodium or sugar levels due to seasoning and coatings. Moderation is key for enjoying this delicacy while maintaining balanced nutrition. Perfect for sharing or savoring alone, senbei continues to be a beloved snack with deep cultural roots.
