Kofujiya Machiya Shop

"A five-minute walk from the Machiya-ekimae stop on the Toden Arakawa Line. This senbei rice cracker and okaki rice snack shop is situated midway along Otakebashi-dori Street. The shop's signature Onikko Okaki rice snacks, made with rice and water from Fukui, comes in three flavors - standard ""salad;"" spicy shichimi seven spice salad; and simple, old-fashioned soy sauce. On the 10th of every month, the shop holds an ""Onikko Festival,"" and these tasty snacks can be purchased at a reduced price. The shop's senbei rice crackers can be purchased in small bags or even by the single cracker, giving customers the chance to enjoy a wide variety of crackers a little at a time. The shop's teas which go great with senbei are also popular, such as the Tokusen Aramomicha, a deep-steamed green tea from Shizuoka's Makinohara."
