Flavor & Texture
The flavor, the best part is undoubtedly the aroma of the green laver (aonori).
The moment you take a bite, the rich scent of the seaweed spreads, and it pairs perfectly with the sweet-and-savory soy sauce glaze! ☺️
The texture is completely different from “Magari Senbei“.
While Magari Senbei was crispy and thin, Bakauke is characterized by its light and airy crunch.
The half-moon shape is also a big plus, as it fits perfectly in your mouth.
Size
For those curious about the size, here it is compared with a ruler. Each cracker is about 10 cm wide.
