Kameda Seika was founded in 1946 in Niigata, Japan, a region famous for its premium rice. They created the Usuyaki Senbei to solve a common snack problem: thick, hard crackers that are difficult to eat. Their master craftsmen developed a unique, ultra-thin baking technique to create a cracker that is impossibly light and crisp, using only carefully selected Japanese rice and natural sea salt. Every batch is produced in a GMP-certified facility, ensuring the highest standards of food safety and quality control. This dedication has made it a top-ranked rice cracker in Japan for over 20 years, trusted by families who value authentic taste and thoughtful design.

Kameda Salad Usuyaki Thin Crispy Senbei - Salted Rice Crackers are crafted from a carefully selected blend of ingredients designed to deliver a light, crispy texture and savory flavor. The primary ingredient is rice, specifically non-glutinous rice, which forms the base of the cracker, providing a delicate crunch and a neutral canvas for seasoning. Salt is added to enhance the natural taste of the rice and create a balanced savory profile. Soy sauce contributes umami depth and a subtle richness, while sugar is included in small amounts to round out the flavor and promote browning during the thin baking process. Vegetable oil, such as palm or canola oil, is used to achieve the signature crispiness and prevent sticking during production. Additionally, leavening agents like baking soda may be incorporated to ensure an airy, light texture. These ingredients work together to offer a satisfying snack that is low in fat compared to many alternatives, gluten-free due to the rice base, and conveniently portioned for on-the-go enjoyment, making it a popular choice for those seeking a light, savory treat without artificial additives.
