There are many factors at play that determine the quality of taste of a rice cracker. Of course there are the ingredients used, but the methods used in creation also play a large part.
At Genbudo, high quality ingredients from the year’s harvest are used, and as instruments, machines are used to support bringing out the true voice of the rice grains.
Producing a cracker that brings out the gentle flavor of the rice with every bite is truely an artform. When you mechanise the vital and minute processes of cracker-making, the effects of the change can be tasted instantly.
The mindset of ‘doing a job not for the sake of doing it, but for the sake of the finished product’ has been taken by Japanese artisans for generations, and is held in high regard during Genbudo’s production processes.
Premium Hand-crafted Sembei Crackers
Genbudo takes great care when selecting their ingredients
Sticky Rice
Genbudo’s rice snacks are all made with various Japan-grown rice. Among them, one of the main selections used is Hiyoku-mochi (produced in Saga, Kyushu), a high-grade rice species which is used the same year it is harvested.
Tamba Black Soybeans
Tamba-Sasayama Whole Black Soybeans are used in all Genbudo products made with black soybeans. These large and plump beans have a desirable softness and depth of flavor that make them ideal for use in Genbudo products.
Salt
Genbudo uses a blend of two salts in their products. The packed-with-minerals ‘Gokuten-en’, and a roasted salt made in Ako (Hyogo Prefecture) called ‘Yakushio’.
Domestic Soysauce
Organically brewed soysauce made from pure sun dried salt and Hyogo Prefecture produced soybeans (Sachiyutaka) and wheat (Shirogame-komugi).
Nori (Dried Seaweed)
Domestically produced nori is used in Genbudo products. With a smooth taste and strong scent, this nori is of particularly high quality.
