I recently found this tiny senbei (wafer/cookie) shop called Kikkodo.
Apparently they have been around for more than 100 years! And they do everything by hand. Amazing.
These ginger senbei caught my eye...700 yen for a package of 12. (I counted them, there are more than 12 in the package, more like 18)
Delicious, crispy with a lot of ginger flavor. Perfect with a cup of green tea.
