Yokohama Okome Rice Snacks (3 Pack)

Rice-based snack from Yokohama

It's Japan's second city in terms of population (3.7 million people) and one of its biggest ports, so the last thing you would expect from Yokohama are agricultural products, especially rice. Surprising as it might be, it's true: 7.3% of Yokohama's area is farmland and that includes rice paddies, and which produces enough vegetables for about 700,000 people. And this explains why the Yokohama Okome Rice Snacks can claim with absolute honesty that the rice that is its main ingredient is local!

Rice snacks have been one of Japan's staples since the Nara period (710-794) and the Yokohama Okome Rice Snacks are part of that proud tradition and a great companion to your tea or beer (yes, the Japanese eat these crispy savory rice snacks with their tea). The set contains three packs, each weighing 25 g (0.9 oz) and each with a different flavor: consommé, black pepper, and Japan's all-time classic nori seaweed & salt. Try them and see why even the mayor of Yokohama believes they are a worthy ambassador of his city!
