Japanese Sweets - Senbei
I bought senbei at Matsuzaki Senbei on B1 of the Ginza Matsuya Department Store. Senbei (煎餅) is a Japanese rice cracker and comes in various shapes, sizes, and flavors, usually savory but sometimes sweet. I got sweet ones because the pictures on them were so cute. From the top left, "an umbrella (meaning the rainy season to come)," "something green and something brown (see below for a meaning)," "a cherry blossom (meaning spring)" and "an iris flower (which blooms from late April to early May)." I didn't know what it was about the second one, so I asked. The answer was "ayu or early summer sweetfish (which is famous for a seasonal delicacy in Kyoto)." Although I preferred savory senbei to sweet ones when I was younger, this has changed. If you like a butter flavor or more greasy sweets, senbei may not be fatty enough, but it definitely is a simple-tasted and filling Japanese granny made cookie.
