Akasaka Kakiyama

The harmony of okaki and almonds is addictive!

A rice confectionery specialty store that has been around since 1971. For more than 50 years since it opened its store in Akasaka, it has continued to offer a variety of elaborate okaki (rice crackers).
One of the signature products sold since the establishment of the shop is "Keio," a gem in which artisans carefully wrap almonds in okaki dough one by one. The light texture of the rice cracker allows you to taste the original deliciousness of the rice, and the fragrance of the nuts adds an exquisite harmony to the rice cracker. The name "Okaki" comes from the egg-shaped shape of the Okaki, which reminds one of a phoenix, a symbol of good fortune. Two flavors are available: soy sauce and salt.

Product name and price: Standing bag "Keihou" (soy sauce/salt) 648 yen each
[Shelf life] Approximately 150 days from the date of manufacture.

Look out for seasonal products in eye-catching packages!

The main glutinous rice used is "Shintaisho glutinous rice," a specialty of Toyama Prefecture. It is a rare variety that accounts for only slightly more than 1% of the nation's glutinous rice production, and is characterized by its strong firmness. This characteristic enhances the crispy texture of the rice crackers.
In addition to the standard "Keicho" and "Keihou" gift packs, seasonal products are also available, such as cherry blossoms in spring, Halloween, and other events. The packages are all brightly colored and have a glamorous, old-fashioned design that evokes a sense of newness. They are suitable for small gifts and will be appreciated on all occasions.

Two types of cream cheese from Denmark are blended to create a rich, smooth texture. The flavor is enhanced with sugar and lemon juice to give it a slight sourness, and the aftertaste is more refreshing than one might expect. A cookie base with plenty of butter rounds out the entire cake. Despite its small size, it is a dish that provides a great sense of satisfaction.
