Preparation[edit]

History[edit]

Rice crackers are thought to have originated during China's Han dynasty (c. 202 BC). Later, during the Tang dynasty, there are records of senbei being served to houseguests as a token of courtesy.[1] In Japan, they were popularized during the Edo period.[2] The Japanese Soka senbei (made in Soka City, Saitama Prefecture) is widely considered to be the first modern rice cracker.[3][4]

Serving[edit]

Rice crackers are traditionally served with soup or salad, along with green tea and/ or alcoholic beverages.[5] In the western world, they are often eaten as a snack food in trail mixes along with ingredients such as wasabi peas, nuts, dried and salted edamame, and sesame sticks.

Types[edit]

Rice crackers are produced in several varieties and shapes. Some of the most popular are listed below.[6][7]
