    Kagawa Pref. Takamatsushi Tamachi 5-8
    A 10-minute walk from Kawaramachi Station, this shop sells hand-made senbei (crackers). The exterior is adorned merely with a simple, cozy-looking shop curtain, while the interior is rich with the culture and traditions of Sanuki, featuring old-fashioned furnishings and wooden furniture. The “ototo senbei” is made with old technique—where freshly-caught fish and octopus are dried, covered in dough and carefully baked up. The fish flavor with its aroma and crisp texture will remind you of bygone days. Octopus remains the most popular senbei. Chairs and tables available so you can relax and chat.

Kagawa Areas

around-area-map

Japan’s smallest prefecture, Kagawa, may take up just a small corner of Shikoku, but it has grown increasingly popular with the recognition of Naoshima, its "art island" in the Seto Inland Sea between Shikoku and Honshu. Just a stone’s throw from the islands, mainland Kagawa’s prefectural capital, Takamatsu, holds history in its castle ruins and its pride and joy, Ritsurin Garden, is known as one of the country’s best gardens.
