Morino Beika

Located right next to Mikawa Inari Shrine in Hongo, Bunkyo Ward, Morino Beika greets visitors with glass cases filled with an array of senbei and arare rice crackers. The shop's okaki are known for their firm, substantial crunch, releasing the natural sweetness of quality rice with every bite. Toasted simply to highlight the clean, savory depth of soy sauce, these crackers deliver the timeless satisfaction of classic Japanese rice snacks.

Among the wide selection, a perennial favorite is zaratan, coated in coarse crystal sugar. The harmonious balance of salty soy sauce and sweet sugar makes it an easy recommendation for fans of candied okaki. The shelves also feature bite-sized nori-wrapped crackers with a toasted aroma and approachable cheese-flavored okaki, providing plenty of choices for an everyday tea accompaniment.

The shop is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 18:00, and is closed on Sundays. It is an easy, welcoming stop whether you are picking up afternoon snacks for home or a casual edible souvenir on the go.
