Minoya Arare Seizo Honpo “Yokohama Beer Kaki”

“Yokohama Beer Kaki” is a distinctive kaki no tane snack created by a long-established rice cracker maker that has continued its history in Yokohama, where it was founded, since 1929. While kaki no tane is typically seasoned with a soy sauce flavor, this “Yokohama Beer Kaki” features a beef extract base and rich umami. With rich beef extract, Sicilian sea salt, and spicy, fiery habanero as hidden flavor accents, it delivers a bold, rich taste.

The seasoning is not its only appeal, the arare crackers themselves are also exceptional! Made with 100% whole-grain glutinous rice, the dough is prepared by highly experienced artisans by steaming the rice and turning it into mochi, then cut, dried, and baked to create a fragrant snack with a satisfyingly firm texture.

Another highlight is the peanuts packed together with the kaki no tane, carefully selected to include only those with a matured sweetness.

A punchy kaki no tane made especially for beer, worthy of a rice snack from Yokohama, one of Japan’s best-known beer cities. Featured in numerous media outlets, this Yokohama-born local souvenir now enjoys nationwide recognition, so be sure to give it a try.
