My Winner Best On Amazon
I've tried 5 different Kakinotane (chili) crackers -- it's my favorite part of the 'oriental mix' crackers one can get at a supermarket etc. This one is the best overall pick for me. Price was good, taste was excellent, and it arrives fast. Probably will become my go-to.Ratings for those others that love this snack:Brand Delivery Time Cost Flavor----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jumbo Hot Kaki No Tane FAST $$$$ ***** (Hawaii Snacks)Enjoy Hawaii Jumbo Hot FAST $$ **** (Perreira Hawaii)Uegaki Kaki No Tane Slow $$ **** (SimplyGoods Inc)Asian Chili Crescent FASTEST $ (lowest) *** (Nuts US)Hapi Chili Bits Slow $ (v.good) TBD (Getic Mix)Best Flavor = Hawaii Snacks versionBest Value/Fastest = Nuts USBest Overall Option = Perreira HawaiiHawaii Snacks version is probably the hottest. Perreira pretty similar but arrived faster and better price.SimplyGoods was not as spicy, had a slightly sour aftertaste (very faint). Nuts US tasted kinda bland, but not bad.Can't go wrong with any of these!

Hawaiian style with popcorn & Futimake yum
This snack brings me back to Hawaii growing up. So ono and crunchy, with a bit of heat so perfect. Shipping was speedy and seller was a great communicator. Will buy many more for sure. Mahalo Shaka

Clears Your Sinuses
Delicious! i grew u[p in Japan and these were my "go to" snack. They are very very spicy; I took a 24 hour Claratin D last night, and it unclogged sinus a little .... but when I eat these my nose runs like a waterfall.......then I feel great! Oh and the price has gone down!They used to package them with bubble wrap but the last few times have only put them in a "lightweight" bag They're delicious, but too expensive to receive as crumbs and chunks. I guess I will try using it as breading on chicken ....

Tasty but mostly broken
Very good snack. Super crunchy. About a quarter of the package were broken pieces.

Uniquely Good
These hot Japanese crackers smack of heat and Soy Sauce and I find it very delicious. I love Soy Sauce. These are definitely one of the most unique snacks I've ever had and I'm glad I tried them. The heat is sufficiently strong enough that you probably won't binge eat these, but you will definitely go back for more. Also, I need to mention that the heat is not overpowering. If you're looking for something new to try, and especially if you have a taste for all things Asian, you can't go wrong giving these a try. You don't need to love Japanese food in particular to fall in love with these snacks.

Very spicy and delicious!
These are way spicier than the other 2 brands of kaki no tane that I've tried. They burn my mouth, but I love very spicy food so that's alright with me. You can still taste the yummy soy flavor through the spice. I looked at the manufacturer's website as I was considering ordering from them - the price is much cheaper. But by the time I got to checkout, the shipping was outrageous, so will continue to buy from amazon.

Delicious but expensive
So delicious. We moved back to the mainland about a year ago and I was craving this snack soooo bad! So happy I could find it online. Although the price is very high, it was totally worth it! Very fresh and crunchy.
