What is HIJIKI SENBEI?
HIJIKI SENBEI are baked by mixing rice flour, rice bran, rice candy, rice oil, hijiki seaweed with salt and shiso. The richness of the rice bran and the mild sweetness of the rice syrup make for a taste that’s never boring and that you can’t get enough of. Two varieties are available: salt and shiso.
The loose packaging belies HIJIKI SENBEI’s uncompromisingly crunchy texture. However, moving your jaw is very important for your health. Increasing the blood flow to the brain can prevent dementia, and stimulating the parasympathetic nerves shows promise for boosting immunity. We recommend it as a children’s snack since it develops their chewing ability.
Rice bran is attached to the exterior of white rice, so using pesticides and chemical fertilizers presents a concern.
That’s why we made sure that Onuka-san uses rice flour and rice bran derived from organically grown rice.
Also, our rice syrup contains no preservatives.
The mild sweetness of the rice syrup and the robust chewy texture are sure to satisfy you! We want to provide a hard-baked confectionery since there are currently so many soft foods available. We use all-natural ingredients as well as organically grown rice bran and rice flour.
Hijiki uses what was caught in the sea of Oita Prefecture, Kyushu. It is rich in iron. Salt is a natural salt produced in Miyazaki prefecture. It has the sweetness of rice candy and the saltiness of natural salt.
