The wrapping paper is a typical Fukuoka design. The wrapping paper is a typical Fukuoka design, depicting lively festival scenes such as "Hakata Gion Yamakasa," "Hakata Dontaku," and "Tama Seseri.


The reverse side is lined with Hakata dialect. I knew "suito (I like)" and "battten (but)," but "sarekuri (forcibly)" and "shiroshika (hard)" were new to me. It is a good learning experience.


The inside of the package has a big face all over. It's powerful to see it at this size.




The ingredients are simple: sugar, flour, chicken eggs, and an expander. The thin dough, baked to a golden brown, is crispy and light to the touch. The savory aroma and mild sweetness spreads. The simplicity of the dough makes it a favorite of men and women of all ages.


There was also a winking version with big eyes, keeping the c-shaped eyebrows. Cute.


In addition, there is a lineup of Niika sembei in collaboration with other characters , such as the previously introduced " I'm Doraemonn Niika Sem bei". In addition to stores in Fukuoka, they can also be purchased from the official website.
