I purchased various sweet snacks for my bicycle race supplies, but I wanted something salty too so I wandered around Tobu Department Store and found this place. I have always loved Ebisenbei by Sakakado-san. I couldn't buy it for myself at home, so I was very happy when I received it. I bought two bags of Yoraku (110) with various small rice crackers, and also bought the scallop (90) and shrimp (90) snacks from Sakusaku Nikki. Yoraku contains eight types of rice crackers. According to the official website, they are as follows: - Princess Yukari: Rich flavor with plenty of ground shrimp - Nori: Traditional light shrimp senbei with the aroma of black nori from Ise Bay - Shrimp and Nori: Vibrant with the aroma of green nori and small shrimp from Seto Inland Sea - Shrimp Figure: Shrimp grilled with mild Okinawan salt, enhancing the natural flavor of shrimp - Black Sesame: High-quality domestic black sesame with a unique aroma and flavor - Matcha: Aichi Nishio's matcha with an elegant bitterness and sweetness - Shrimp Rice Cracker: Plump texture of domestic glutinous rice with rich shrimp flavor - Snow Crab: Abundant snow crab meat with rich umami flavor for a luxurious taste I enjoyed them deliciously and happily. Sakusaku Nikki's scallop was a bit weak in scallop flavor, while the shrimp was tastier.

I visited Ikebukuro Station with my beloved wife during the daytime on a weekday. We stopped by the Tobu Department Store in Ikebukuro and explored the food and sweets floor in the basement. It wasn't crowded, so we enjoyed the department store basement for a while. As it was a week before the pumpkin festival, there were pumpkin faces and pumpkin dolls displayed in some areas. I discovered a snack called "Sakakado" behind the pumpkins, which we later enjoyed during tea time at home. When I opened the package, a unique aroma of senbei spread out. The senbei was about 70mm in diameter, 4mm thick, and weighed 6.1g. Each piece contained 0.1g of fat and 0.2g of salt equivalent. It had a crispy texture and a rich shrimp flavor when eaten. However, it tasted similar to KAPA Ebi Sen, with only a different shape. I had previously used the shrimp senbei "Yukari" as a gift, and it was well-received, perhaps due to the reputation of the long-established brand. Personally, I found it to be similar to KAPA Ebi Sen in taste and texture, with only a different shape. After eating, the aroma of shrimp lingered on my fingers.

I received a snack from my boss at work. When I tried it, it was so delicious that I asked where they bought it, and they said it was from the department store basement. No wonder it was so tasty! I wanted to share it with my family, so I went to the department store after work. It's always fun to browse around the department store basement, but it can be dangerous when you're hungry because you want to try everything you see. I found the shop I was looking for and bought the simplest one. The box was nicely designed and stylish. The taste was full of shrimp flavor, crispy and quite firm. The more you chew, the more umami comes out! My family was happy too, so it was a good choice. It was delicious, but it would be even better if I received it as a souvenir rather than buying it myself. Such a nice treat!

At Tobu Ikebukuro's depachika, there is a store called Sakakado Sogo Honpo. They have colorful packaging with traditional Japanese patterns, and a variety of rice crackers on display. I bought the "Yukari" shrimp senbei, which is thin and crispy. Each piece is only 23 calories, so you can enjoy it without worry. Despite its thinness, it has a satisfying crunch. The shrimp flavor is just right, not too strong or too subtle, and leaves a delicious aftertaste. At 23 calories per piece, it's hard to resist reaching for more (laughs). I purchased a 12-piece box for 1,080 yen for home consumption, but the black box with the shrimp emblem resembling a family crest gives it a luxurious feel, making it a great gift option that would surely be appreciated.

My sister bought me senbei (^o^) I love senbei (*^_^*)

I heard from a review by user 2017.06.07k846 that there are new products at Sakakado Sogo Honpo, so I decided to stop by. They have two new products: Sakakado Third Generation Senbei Goho, which comes in two types - shrimp and squid tempura. I decided to try both, with each pack containing 4 pieces for 777 yen. I also bought the regular Yukari pack with 8 pieces for 691 yen to compare. I tried them out at home immediately. The regular Yukari was a firm senbei, starting off mild but as you eat, the flavor of shrimp spreads in your mouth. The new Goho was thick and soft, similar to the traditional crispy senbei. The shrimp tempura is made mainly with natural shrimp, sweet shrimp, squid, scallop, and cherry shrimp, while the squid tempura is primarily made with squid, natural shrimp, sweet shrimp, scallop, and cherry shrimp, as stated, they have a deep and satisfying flavor. Thank you for the meal, I'm happy that Sakakado offers a variety of choices.

Sakakado Sandaime Senbei Goho's gift. It was unfamiliar to Itakado-san. The rich flavor of the shrimp is well known. This Goho offers a more intense and complex umami flavor than just shrimp, with shrimp, sweet shrimp, sakura shrimp, dried squid, and scallops. This is really something great!

I found a can of our store's snack on the table and thought about sneaking one piece to eat, but it was already opened. So I decided to eat it. It's been a while since I last had "Yukari-chan". The texture is slightly firm, with a crunchy sound, and then a savory shrimp flavor follows. The more you chew, the more the umami and savory flavor spread. The other two varieties of "Funatabi" focus more on lightness than savory flavor. "Yukari-chan" is still the best! Thank you for the meal. It's been a while since I had it, but I confirmed its deliciousness once again! It's great as a snack or with tea, and it also helps relieve the feeling of being bloated. It's truly a top-notch confectionery!

As expected, the popular "ebisen" from Bankaku is always well received. It is often purchased for gifts and personal consumption. When given as a gift, it never fails to bring joy. The "Natsu Sarasara" (￥5,400) is a limited edition summer assortment. It includes 24 pieces of Yukari, 10 pieces of sweet shrimp, 5 pieces of sprouted brown rice, 5 pieces of summer flowers, and 5 packs of plum seaweed. The Yukari is the highlight of this assortment, with a delightful taste. The sweet shrimp, shaped like shrimp swimming in the box, adds a fun touch. The plum seaweed and summer flowers also contribute to the refreshing summer vibe. But above all, the Yukari stands out with its delicious flavor. It is a perfect gift that is sure to please. Oh, and surprisingly, Yukari goes well with iced coffee. I highly recommend trying it out. (By Kyo Natsushuukuu, July 23, 2015) Bankaku's "Yukari" has been enjoyed for over 40 years. As a child, I associated "ebisen" with both "Kappa Ebisen" and "Yukari." Kappa Ebisen was the one you could buy at supermarkets, while Yukari was the one you received as a gift. I remember a time when there were two types of assortments, similar to the current Kiso Hi, with a black can featuring a drawing of bamboo and the words "Bankaku Sogo Honpo" in gold or silver lettering. It is a well-known souvenir from the Nagoya area. You can often find it in souvenir shops at Nagoya Station. Yukari is an ebisen with a light texture filled with the rich taste and aroma of shrimp. It may seem powdery to those unfamiliar with it, but it is packed with the essence of shrimp. It is a product with a long history and significance, often purchased in large quantities for gifts. "Tokyo Tenpura" is a limited edition product sold only in the Tokyo area. It enhances the sweetness and flavor of Shibae shrimp with Edo-style tempura. When you savor it, you can notice a different shrimp aroma compared to Yukari, almost like a fried snack rather than a powdered treat. "Tenmari Hotate" is a seasonal limited edition product that I obtained about 10 days ago, but it is currently not available in stores. It is a lighter version of ebisen than Yukari, allowing you to enjoy the taste and aroma of both shrimp and scallops. Each ebisen is enjoyed in the same way, by slightly puffing up your mouth while eating, inhaling, and then slowly exhaling through your nose. This method allows you to savor the lingering shrimp flavor in your mouth and nose. While our generation also loves "Kappa Ebisen," it's worth trying the slightly more luxurious Yukari from time to time. You may find that the flavor of one Yukari chip equals that of one bag of Kappa Ebisen, and you can appreciate the difference between regular shrimp and Ise shrimp. (Oh, Calbee, I'm not trying to start a fight. I also like Kappa Ebisen. Just to be clear.) For me, Bankaku's Yukari ranks among the top 3 best gifts to buy in bulk at Tobu Ikebukuro along with Toraya's Yokan for descendants of the Imperial Family and Fukusaya's Castella for commoners. Each brand is used for different occasions, with Toraya for descendants of the Imperial Family, Bankaku for descendants of the Tokugawa family, and Fukusaya for the common people. (Laughs)

It is well known that Sakakado-san in Aichi Prefecture has been making shrimp senbei since the Meiji era. I used to receive them as gifts and occasionally buy them in department stores to enjoy at home because they are delicious. This time, I purchased them for gifts and for myself. They have a shelf life of about two months as gifts and are convenient to carry around because they are light. I bought the classic Yukari flavor as well as a small bag of crispy shrimp senbei with scallops called "Sakusaku Nikki", which also includes scallops in addition to shrimp. I sometimes crave shrimp senbei, so I decided to buy them.

I came to the store thinking of giving Yukari as a Mother's Day gift. The prices are not that high. There are many stores that sell shrimp senbei, but I have been eating Sakakado since long ago and it is my favorite. The variety of flavors in the crispy diary is also attractive. I love the smell of shrimp and the texture, so I recommend Yukari to those who are trying it for the first time. I am impressed by the fact that the manufacturing date and expiration date are written on each bag. There are also samples available, so it is good to try them before making a purchase.

When I go back to my parents' house, I find it convenient to use these shrimp senbei as a souvenir. Speaking of Sakakado, it's the "Yukari" shrimp senbei. It might be different from regular shrimp senbei. It's more crunchy and hard rather than crispy. But it's thin so it's not difficult to eat. I actually like that hardness. And most importantly, it has a strong shrimp flavor. Once you start eating, you can't stop. People who don't like shrimp or have allergies might not enjoy it, but it's great as a snack with tea. It's recommended for those who like hard snacks.

*Waiting time* omitted for receiving items *Order & amount* Hachiraku *Atmosphere of the shop* omitted *Service* omitted *Impressions* The colorful packaging with a touch of luxury is nice. Inside, there are various types of senbei that are visually and texturally enjoyable. *Expectations* It can be a great gift as it has a long shelf life.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.
