At Kodawari Shoten,the owner, Yasui san sources and sell only the truly delicious foods from across the country. 
All his products are sourced directly from their origins, and he makes it a point to meet with producers before making any purchases.
As his network of producers grew, starting with around 100 items, his store now offers over 1600 items.

When he decides to introduce a new product, he does so with great determination. Therefore, even if a better version of the same product is offered to him, he generally decline.
That's the level of commitment he brings to his product lineup, including this Squid Cracker featured here.

Why did Mr. Yasui Selected this Squid Cracker?

”At Kodawari Shoten, sake and beer are popular, and during a time when I was indulging in various snacks that pair well with alcohol, I came across the ultimate snack.
Although many snacks looked delicious, most of their flavors were predictable, and finding something that had a homemade feel in the market was challenging.
Finally, I discovered these Squid Crackers.
These squid crackers are made by coating squid in starch and then pressing it onto a hot iron plate, resulting in a grilled squid snack that retains its original shape.
Unlike many squid snacks that are chewy, these are astonishingly crispy, just like real crackers.
They are incredibly tasty and perfect as a snack to enjoy with your drink”.
