Oki Doki

A special thank you to my coworker who gave me this bag of Japanese style rice cracker snacks earlier this year. Thanks!! ;)

The little star on the package is telling me “Baked Not Fried”. Could that mean this is a healthy snack? After an inspection of the back label I spy one ingredient that I try to stay away from (well, at least when I’m cooking at home), MSG. It’s number 6 on the list of ingredients. But on the plus side, there’s no fat or cholesterol, and a respectable amount of sodium and carbs. I’d say this qualifies as a good substitute to snacking on potato chips.

Taste wise, if Japanese senbei and BBQ potato chips had a kid, it would be this snack. It has the texture of senbei with the powdered BBQ seasoning of BBQ potato chips.

I think the guy on the left is the only one with a clue about what’s about to happen next.

Hi Elle, Kaman, and White on Rice Couple,
I know, so cute yeah? At first I pulled out a bunch of smiling ones in a row. Then I noticed the scared looking one, it was so funny!

Hi kat,
Hmm, I’m not sure. I didn’t see any while I was there. But then again, I didn’t get around to too many markets.
