Have you ever eaten a rice cracker called "Onorokemame"? ♡

Onorokemame is a rice cracker that has been enjoyed since olden times, coated with a soy sauce flavor and sprinkled with small pieces of seaweed. (Photo left)

Many of you may not have known the name but have actually eaten it before!

Why is it called "Onorokemame"?

"Onorokemame" is such an interesting name.

Nowadays, due to advancements in manufacturing, it is rarely seen, but in the past, during the process of coating, the soy sauce would cause the individual pieces to stick together.

It is said that because they looked like they were happily sticking together, they were called "Onorokemame" (御惚気豆).

It has such a cute origin, doesn’t it? ♡
