Ichiyo Senbei

Ichiyo Senbei crafts traditional hard-baked rice crackers, from aromatic natto senbei and natto okaki to enduring staples such as aonori seaweed and toasted sesame. Lovers of classic, nostalgic Japanese rice snacks stop by specifically for these hearty, unpretentious flavours.

The shop sits in Ryusen, Taito Ward, just a short walk from the Ichiyo Memorial Museum. Drawing on this literary neighbourhood connection, the reasonably priced Ichiyo banknote crackers make popular local souvenirs. Individual crackers are also sold separately, making it easy to assemble a personalised selection to enjoy at home.
