Taste
I think I have now tried all the flavours of rice crackers from Sakata.
- wasabi & soy - very little wasabi taste and only a faint hint of soy
- black sesame & soy - beautiful, salty and with that unmistakble aroma of black sesame, almost as good as the rice crackers from Japan!
- greek feta - tastes like ordinary plain crackers. Can't taste any feta.
- Italian roast tomato & balsamic - artificial tomato taste and a bit one-dimensional, the balsamic being more sour than anything
- Mexican salsa and cheese - tastes like salsa dip mixed with BBQ sauce. You can actually taste the cheese, although it tastes more like off cheese than real cheese
- sour cream & chives - it tastes salty and pleasant, but I can't taste any sour cream or any chives
- Moroccan spice - quite pleasant, but kinda tastes like bbq flavour>
- Portuguese chicken - really good, a bit bbq like and a little spicy

Look
They are one of the better known brands of the ubiquitous rice crackers filling our supermarket aisle, with their catchy jingle. I think they try to relate these back to Japan but I don't think they have succeeded at all! The packaging is not up to scratch for one! They come in a tray dividing the crackers into 4. I wish they individually seal the 4 roles though, as once it's opened, you are better off finishing all the biscuits to keep them fresh. It'll also be easier to carry around in smaller packaging.

C-factor
I got these on special for 100g for 99 cents. Usually they are about $1.69 I think. It's a fair price to pay.
