Japanese Sweet - Senbei with Watermelon or Hello Kitty Picture 大江戸松崎 三味胴の煎餅

Japanese follows English.　英語の後に日本語が続きます。

Watermelon

First, I want to apologize for these bad pictures. They don't show how cute they are. When realizing my poor ability to take photos, I had already eaten them up...  I once said to one of my nieces, who likes taking photos, that taking good pictures doesn't require any skills, but a camera. I was wrong.....

Anyway, these are, from the top, senbei with watermelon, morning glories and fireworks pictures sold by Oedo Matsuzaki Shamido.

Senbei (煎餅) are traditional Japanese rice crackers. They come in various shapes, sizes and flavors, usually savory, but sometimes sweet. But unlike such traditional senbei, those in these photos are made of flour, sugar and eggs and therefore sweet, tasting more like biscuits. I don't usually buy sweet senbei or biscuits, but bought them because of these pictures. The senbei bakery's website says that senbei craftsmen draw each of them.

Oedo Matsuzaki Shamido sells senbei with pictures of Hello Kitty, too, so its craftsmen can also draw Hello Kitty!

Morning glories

Fireworks

大江戸松崎 三味胴のお煎餅です。普段は甘いお煎餅なんて買わないんですけど、絵が可愛くて買ってしまいました。ただ、写真が下手で｡｡。私が撮りました（泣）｡｡。

親戚に何人も写真好きがおりまして、「写真なんて誰が撮っても一緒でしょ」みたいなことを思っていたのですが、いざ自分が撮ってびっくり！下手です。はまる人の気持ちが理解できるようになりました｡｡。写真好きの方、ごめんなさい🙇｡｡｡

お煎餅のかわいさをお伝えできるているかに自信はありませんが、昔ながらの優しい味です。キティちゃん煎餅も売ってます。
