Supervised by :  株式会社三ツ森

Tansan senbei is a well-known specialty of Arima Onsen. At Mitsumori Honpo, the traditional method of carefully baking each piece one by one on a copper griddle is still carried on today, and the savory aroma of freshly baked crackers drifts from the storefront.

A defining feature of tansan senbei is that it is made with Arima's carbonated spring water, using a simple blend centered on flour and sugar. The ultra-thin dough breaks with a light, crisp snap in your mouth, and its gentle sweetness quickly spreads. Since it never feels heavy, it also makes a great snack after a bath.

The charm of hand-baking can be seen in the uneven browning and slight differences in thickness. Each piece has its own subtle character, and those differences create a simple yet layered flavor. If you visit Arima Onsen, be sure to enjoy both the experience of tasting them fresh on-site and taking some home as a souvenir to savor at your leisure.
