Japanese rice crackers.

Arare (あられ, pronounced , lit. hailstones) is a type of bite-sized Japanese cracker made from glutinous rice and flavored with soy sauce. It originated in Japan and was brought to the U.S. by Japanese immigrants who came as plantation workers in the early 1900s. In Hawaii, the snack is often called kakimochi (fried rice paste) or mochi crunch.
