Taste and Flavor

The flavor is quite unique. What really sets it apart from other snacks is its texture. On the surface, there is a fine powdery texture to it. It is sweet and salt at the same time. There is currently no equivalent flavor for which I can compare it to. If anything I would say it taste slightly like a sweet soy sauce. But the center is just a plan rice crack. Crispy at first but as soon as you eat it, the moisture from your mouth turns it soft. Giving it a satisfying chew.
