Dedicated to the beloved banana-shaped snack bakauke, the Niigata Rice Cracker Museum offers visitors a fun, hands-on dive into the craft of Japanese senbei. Guests can observe the factory production line, learn the snack's history, and even try their hand at grilling and flavoring their own giant rice crackers. Right at the entrance stands the quirky Bakauke Inari, a legitimate company shrine guarded by delightfully eccentric anthropomorphic cracker mascots. It is a delightfully offbeat stop for food lovers and curious travelers exploring the regional specialties of the coast.
