What is Kaki-no-tane?
Kaki-no-tane are a common snack in Japan. They are small crescent-shaped fragments of senbei (soy-flavored rice crisps). The name comes from the fact that the pieces of senbei look like a seed ( tane ) of the persimmon ( kaki ). They are often consumed with beer and are sometimes served as a bar snack. Often they are part of a mix called kaki-pī[?] , that contains the tane and peanuts. It comes in several different types of flavors, such as wasabi and pepper, amongst others. The " pī " is an abbreviation of pīnattsu , the Japanese pronunciation of "peanuts".
