Information about the hand toasted senbei program
An activity that also a Hollywood actress tried.
Milla Jovovich tried the program as well when shooting a tv program!
There are not many places in the city that let you actually try. It is a rare Japanese culture program so it is your chance to have a rare experience of the deep Japanese culture.
Milla Jovovich tried it.
