Kaki-no-Tane Florentine: A Unique Fusion of Japanese and Western Flavors
A Crunchy Delight Combining Tradition and Innovation
What Is Kaki-no-Tane?
Kaki-no-Tane, or “persimmon seed crackers,” are one of Japan’s most beloved rice snacks. Despite their name, these small, crescent-shaped rice crackers do not contain persimmon seeds but are instead named for their distinctive shape. Originally flavored with soy sauce and a hint of spice, kaki-no-tane are a favorite among snack lovers, often paired with peanuts and enjoyed with green tea or beer. Their crispy texture and umami-rich taste have made them a staple of Japanese snack culture.
Introducing Kaki-no-Tane Florentine
Kaki-no-Tane Florentine is a one-of-a-kind creation that blends traditional Japanese rice crackers with the elegance of a classic French dessert. This artisanal treat combines carefully selected Japanese rice crackers with sliced almonds, all coated in a rich caramel sauce. To elevate the experience further, this delicious fusion is encased in a delicate monaka wafer shell, commonly used in traditional Japanese confectionery.
The result? A light, crispy, and sweet-savory treat that harmoniously balances Japanese and Western flavors, offering an irresistible crunch with every bite.
