Okaki

Okaki is the original word for rice crackers in Japanese. It is one of the most common snacks in Japan. Okaki comes in many shapes and sizes, and flavours too.

This packet of okaki was one of the first packets of snacks I bought in Japan. I bought it just by the look of it, as it looked delicious. Only later when I know more of the Japanese words, I realised that this is the shoyu flavour, which is soy sauce.

I like okaki because it has the rice fragrance and very crunchy too. After I had finished this packet, I continued on with the second, the third, etc. for my six-month stay in Japan.
