My new favourite rice crackers aren't made of rice flour...

I like Nanbu senbei 南部せんべい.
It's made of wheat flour and pressed in a kind of mini grill thing like a waffle maker. Then you hold that over a charcoal fire to bake. It doesn't take long to bake. The most common types are peanut or black sesame. I like both. I made some on Children's Day at the Muroran Folk Museum. They taste great! And theyare also for sale at my local supermarket, to my joy. They're just made from flour, salt and water. Anyway there's so many more kinds of rice crackers out there. I like the chewy ones too. Here's a blog where they talk about diff types. http://washokufood.blogspot.jp/2008/04/senbei.html?m=1
