Want Want Snow Rice Crackers
中国人が「子供の頃から食べてる」味！甘じょっぱい雪の魔法
Description
A rice cracker (Senbei) raised into a national snack in mainland China by Taiwanese giant snack maker 'Want Want'. Almost identical in production and appearance to JP 'Yuki no Yado'; a crispy salty salad senbei coated with a 'pure white sweet powder (snow)' of sugar and milk. No Chinese supermarket lacks this.
