In the spiritual and cultural life of Vietnamese people, visiting temples and pagodas in the first lunar month has become a tradition. It is a time for Vietnamese individuals to express gratitude and filial piety to ancestors and elders, while also praying for peace and good fortune throughout the new year. On these offering trays, foods made from rice symbolize prosperity and fulfillment. Reflecting a recent trend towards light, healthy, and convenient foods, rice crackers have emerged as a popular choice for many families preparing offerings.

Rice crackers made from Japanese Japonica rice are favored for their natural crispiness and nutritional value. Japonica rice grains are short and round, containing a stable starch content along with protein, vitamins, and minerals. This rice variety offers a soft, pliable texture and moderate moisture, ideal for achieving a light, airy crispness when baked or puffed. Additionally, its delicate flavor retains natural goodness during processing. Kojiky rice crackers use 100% Japanese Japonica rice as their ingredient, without blending with other rice types.

A representative from Keki Vietnam shared that Japonica rice has few impurities, making it easy to control input quality. Kojiky rice crackers come in various flavors: grilled beef, tomyum hotpot, pate, Hanoi pho, corn cheese, seaweed, and garlic butter lobster. For each flavor, the manufacturer uses natural ingredients; for example, the grilled beef flavor contains beef ingredients, the tom yum flavor includes shrimp powder, and the seaweed flavor features seaweed.

The product is manufactured at a facility certified with ISO 22000:2018 standards, utilizing modern press-and-bake technology that minimizes oil content. This process ensures the crackers achieve a natural crunch. The crackers are packaged in individual small bags, limiting exposure to air and bacteria.

For modest altars, families can use 3-5 small packs of rice crackers combined with a five-fruit tray to create a balanced and harmonious display. For larger ceremonies or offerings at communal houses and pagodas, arranging multiple packs of crackers into a pyramid shape is a common presentation, signifying thoughtfulness and sincerity.

Many people shared that their choice of rice crackers as an offering stems not only from the quality of the ingredients but also from their simplicity, ease of arrangement, and suitability for consumption after the offerings are brought down. This is why the product is increasingly appearing on the altars of modern families.

Kojiky Japanese rice crackers are currently available at grocery stores, agencies, and mini-supermarkets nationwide.
