Bubu arare are tiny arare (rice cracker) pearls that are traditionally sprinkled over ochazuke. The name “bubu” lovingly comes from the arare’s “bubbly” appearance! These are produced in Yokohama and Kangawa, where they are seasoned with traditional sesame oil and dark soy sauce. Feel free to sprinkle over salads, noodles, and soup for a crunchy mild umami oomph. The retro-modern packaging makes it the coolest, most yummy gift for anyone!
