Are you a fan of senbei 煎餅 (rice crackers to you and me)?
Well there is a great little shop in Aoyama between Koto Dori and Omotesando Station named Jukka 十火.
This is not your run of the mill rice cracker shop - the owners have taken it to a whole other level - the display cases found here resemble those found in high end jewelry shops - displaying the items under glass and on pedestal stands.
A modern ascetic combined with simple Japanese tradition.
The shop also offers a wide variety of tea options to act as a companion to their senbei offerings...you didn't hear it from me ( wink, wink) but they give free tastings to those that stop in for a visit.
They have a great web site with pictures of their creations - and a shop on line option as well : http://jukka.toyosu.co.jp/
So if you are a fan of senbei, you'll want to make sure to head to Aoyama to sample these tasty treats.
All the best...Mark
