These Kabukiage rice crackers are one of my favorite things to buy whenever I visit Japan. You can actually find them everywhere at convenience stores and drugstores across Japan.
What appeals to me most is their perfectly balanced savory flavor. When you take a bite, you first notice the subtle aroma of the rice cracker, followed by the soy sauce flavor spreading through your mouth. They're savory without being too salty or greasy, and it's really hard to stop eating them one after another.
Ever since I discovered the large bags at Don Quijote, I've gotten into the habit of picking one up almost every time I visit Japan. Whenever I'm back in Taiwan, I make a cup of hot tea late at night and slowly enjoy that familiar crispy texture. The comforting taste always makes me feel for a moment as if I'm traveling in Japan again. If you also like Japanese rice crackers, this classic treat is definitely worth recommending.
