We’ve already seen sake-flavored Kit Kats; now we have sake-flavored karinto crackers, made with sake cake from the highly coveted Dassai!
cracker
Although the above picture might look like something out of a nightmare, these crackers are very real and on sale in Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
It’s a senbei, which is a Japanese style of rice cracker, that in this instance, has had a bunch of wasps added to it for flavor or…health or something. We don’t know why exactly but we recently had the pleasure of sitting down with a bag of wasp crackers, only to find that they actually weren’t nearly as horrifying as you might expect.
They were only partially horrifying.
