Mire Biscuits — The serious snack! The packaging is basically an understated blue plastic with some red design and a clear window where the coin-sized biscuits are visible. Under the name ミレービスケット (Mire biscuit) is the tagline まじめなおかし, "majime na okashi" which means " the earnest snack," or " the serious snack," a line that never fails to make our children laugh.

The packaging appears to have been the same since the Showa Era. Else, the company meant to express by their simple, almost parochial packaging that the star of the show is what's inside the bag and not outside.

The ingredients are simple: flour, sugar, shortening, vegetable oil, and natural salt. The dough is cut into a distinct round shape with scalloped edges. Then they are fried in vegetable oil that has been previously used to fry beans ( the secret of its unique aroma ) at a temperature of 170℃～180℃. Then they are sprinkled with seawater and sun-dried natural salt with plenty of minerals, poetically described on the packaging as " born of the marriage of sun and wind ", and the exquisite saltiness at this time is the secret to its deliciousness. This process of making the biscuits has remained the same since its birth in 1955 even if the times change, the manufacturing method does not change, and it is an old-fashioned snack that has been popular since the days of grandpa and grandma.

It is so deceptively simple, yet " simple is best," says Mr Nomura, owner of Nomura Company that produces these biscuits 🍪🌊😍👍🏻
