Soy Sauce Okogemeshi

Fujiya

Traditionally, rice was cooked in heavy iron pots called kama or kettles over an open flame. As the rice simmered, the water would evaporate, and the bottom layer of rice would toast and develop a deliciously crispy and fragrant texture. This layer, called okoge, turned into a deliciously crunchy treat. This senbei captures the essence of okoge with a flavor profile reminiscent of the special culinary treat.
