Kuriyama Beika

The Kuriyama Beika exhibits explain the preparation methods of traditional rice crackers through detailed displays and manufacturing demonstrations spanning multiple halls.

Founded in February 1949, this institution documents the evolution of Japanese rice-based snacks from traditional household items to commercial products over generations.

The museum collections highlight the role of senbei and arare in Japanese ceremonies, festivals, and daily life through artifacts and regional variations.

Visitors can participate in rice cracker making workshops, explore educational exhibits about production techniques, and purchase various snacks at the museum shop.

The facility maintains temperature-controlled environments to preserve ancient rice cracker molds and traditional tools used in senbei production since the 1940s.
