Niwaka Sempei Honpo Toundo "Niwaka Sempei

Familiar to Fukuoka Prefecture residents? Have you ever heard of the humorous "Niwaka Sempei" from the Niwaka Sempei Honpo Toundo?

These sembei are shaped like the half masks worn in the local Hakata Niwaka performance. The eyebrows in the shape of a "C" and the eyes with a "tareme" (a kind of eye) are quite charming (?). The package with the face on it and the rice crackers with the face on them are also available. It is said that it is a common practice for local residents to cover their eyes with masks or packages with faces painted on them.

Pretty on the sides too.

The ingredients are sugar, wheat flour, eggs, and an expander, making it more like a hard-baked cookie than a rice cracker. The cookies have a pleasant crispy texture and a rich wheat flavor. The three cookies in each box are perfect for filling up a small stomach.

Fans should check it out.

By the way, the TV commercial for Niwaka Sempei is one of the most famous and long-lived commercials in Fukuoka. You've been in a fight again. Come on, tell me you don't want to fight again. I think there are a surprisingly large number of people who think that the name of the child in the commercial is "Kenji". Zenji" is said to be a phonetic reading of "Zenji" of Mr. Yoshiharu Takagi, who was the president of the company at the time of the commercial's production. I am sure this is also a common practice among the people of the prefecture.
