Japanese sweets (wagashi) Rice crackers (senbei & arare)
Kitakaro's "Hokkaido Kaitaku Okaki" is a popular Hokkaido souvenir.
Because the taste and aroma change depending on how the rice is aged and dried, these okaki (rice crackers) are made with care over a full seven days, from washing the rice through steaming, pounding, aging, drying, frying and seasoning.

There are eight flavors to choose from, so you can enjoy picking one while imagining which the recipient would like best.
Buying every kind and comparing them is also recommended.
They are bite-sized and easy to eat, so good that your hand keeps reaching back for more.
A bag disappears in no time.

How about this as a souvenir for someone who is not so fond of sweets?
Each bag contains not only okaki but also savory nibbles, so it goes perfectly with drinks too.

What Japanese buyers say

Reviewers love these small, crunchy fried rice crackers for their intense seafood flavors (scallop, kelp, sweet shrimp, squid, salmon) and say a bag disappears fast; they are affordable, suit people who dislike sweets, and go well with drinks. Several buyers wish for smaller or individually wrapped portions, and note the crumbs. Frequently bought at New Chitose Airport.
