Rice crackers are a popular snack in Japanese cuisine, and almond arare is a specific type of rice cracker that incorporates almonds into the recipe. These crackers are made by mixing glutinous rice flour with water and other ingredients such as soy sauce and sugar, and then forming the mixture into small balls or cubes. The crackers are then fried or baked until they are crispy and crunchy. Almond arare also contains small pieces of almond that add a nutty flavor and texture to the snack. It is often enjoyed as a snack with tea or sake, and is a popular item to bring as a souvenir when traveling in Japan.
