"Yukinoyado" Sweet Rice Cracker

Bonjour! It has been a week since I last updated my blog. My life keeps being "sucky" with annoying corporate job. It is even worse when I get sick - ouch!

Today, I finally regained a little bit energy to write about my favorite rice cracker - "Yukinoyado" 雪の宿 . "Yukinoyado" translates to snow lodge.

Rice cracker is light weight, crunchy Asian cracker made of rice. You can absolutely taste rice in these snacks. It is also very very crunchy so it makes a very loud sound when you bite into it. There are variety of flavors available for rice cracker such as sweet soy sauce flavor, salt flavor, seaweed flavor.

My absolute favorite since kid is "Yukinoyado". There's milky sugar candy (resemble snow fall) coated on top of lightly salted rice cracker. When you put it into your mouth, you taste strong sweetness with salty flavor. After you start munching on the cracker part, you taste mix of saltiness and sweetness evenly. Since rice cracker is pretty dry, I recommend you to have it with a cup of Genmai tea.

Sweet and lightly salty, I like!

If you can't wait for Amazon delivery, you should be able to find a similar product called Wang Wang snowy rice cracker in nearby Asian super market. Yukinoyado is original snowy rice cracker but it is not widely available in the states.
