Setoda Komachi (せとだ小町)

Setoda Komachi is a rice cracker shop on Ikuchijima Island. The store, which is marked by a sign with the Chinese characters 海煎山煎 (sea roast, mountain roast) is a modern renovation of a vacant Japanese house. In the store, palm-sized rice crackers are sold in a demonstration, inspired by a local dish called “Hamako-nabe,” which is said to have been eaten by people who were involved in salt production on Ikuchijima Island for a long time. The rice crackers are covered with seafood such as octopus, shrimp, and small fish, and the crunchy texture is addictive.
