japanese puffed rice cake snacks in shades of dark chocolate, charcoal, yoghurt, roasted rice tea and more 🍵  kyoto, japan

my host family have recently started a small company selling organic, gluten-free puffed rice cake snacks! the ladies developed a gluten allergy after giving birth which the kids inherited as well, and it makes feeding the family incredibly difficult considering that japan isn’t exactly GF friendly; almost everything has gluten here, even soy sauce! 

they make everything from scratch and are having a lot of fun experimenting with adding traditional japanese flavours, such as matcha and charcoal, along with fruits and chocolate, to their rice cakes. everything, including the main website, is under development at the moment but once it’s all live i’ll definitely share the link so y’all can check it out if it tickles your fancy! 

i’m honestly just lucky to be their unofficial taste taster ;) what a difficult life, someone hold me 🤧
