About Me

- Muroto, Kochi, Japan
- "OBACHAN" means a "middle-aged woman" or "aunty" in Japanese. .*************************. Having moved back to my hometown in April 2009, I live in one of the desperately underpopulated areas in Japan now. Let me share my life in a real countryside with aging parents living in the same house. And here in Muroto -- the place where I chose to live -- you can hear the heartbeat of the Earth! ;)

It was a bit of "shock" to me as well when I first came across arare cookies at a souvenir shop in Honolulu Airport. "Arare Cookies" it read, and it took me a while to recognize that the "arare" was indeed arare rice crackers that I had been so familiar with. I didn't buy one that time, but later I tried and got a bag (they are pretty popular over there in Hawaii) and actually quite liked them. I have never tried to make them myself, but since both yours and Reid's look so yummy I might as well give it a try... Great job!
Obachan, now fish fish thinking of how will Ume Niku Arare will taste in a biscuit. :P Cheers to Reid n U... ;)
> chika --- Oh, are they so popular over there? (Maybe I should change the caption of the photo.)
Hawaii must be an interesting place. I really want to visit there someday.
> fish fish --- What an idea! Another creative mind ne?
Hi obachan,
I'm glad you liked the cookies. I've been making these cookies for more than 10 years and everyone seems to enjoy them. In the last several years, I've noticed that they've become quite popular and are now being manufactured commercially. I've never thought of trying to make them with the peanut arare...sounds good though. Thanks for giving me the idea! =)
I have a friend who makes Rice Krispie cookies. I keep telling her to stop because I always eat too many!! I never heard of arare cookies, either, but the peanut ones could be vaguely like a crunchy peanut-butter cookie? I'm not a very big cookie fan (unless they're chocolate) so I'm always looking for something different to make for people. These would certainly fit the bill. ;)
Hi Reid,
Oh, so glad that you got well! Welcome back!. I enjoyed these arare cookies so much.
Hi Annie,
You know, it’s so funny that once I try something new and it turned out well, I feel like experimenting on “something different” more and more… I wonder if many people feel the same way.
