Yukari by Bankaku Sohonpo

A popular snack baked with a rich shrimp flavour and great texture.

Last update :

Yukari is a cracker made with shrimp paste which is believed to bring good luck in Japan. Yukari was once presented to Tokugawa Mitsutomo in the Owari domain during the Edo Period and carries on its history and excellence.

Using 7 natural shrimps for each cracker, it is carefully roasted in a unique double baking method consistent with the Edo Period. The long drying time adds more umami and flavor too.

Its crunchy texture and savory taste are loved by many people, and it has become one of the representative gift items of the Tokai region. The crackers are not sweet, rich in calcium, high in protein, and low in fat. They are lightweight and can last for a long time, making them very suitable as souvenirs for international travellers.
