At first, I was surprised at the impact of hardness, but as I chewed it, the fluffy and sweet biscuit-like flavor spread, and it was very simple and delicious. Personally, I liked the germ-containing one because it was more fragrant.

If it is hard and difficult to eat, soak it in coffee, tea, or milk to make it softer and easier to eat. Flavor is added to simple hardtack, which is also delicious. Also, it is the hardest when you open it, so if you leave it for a while, it will be a little easier to eat.

The price of hard bread is 350 yen for 10 pieces per bag, and 220 yen for 5 pieces with germ (excluding tax). How about for snacks and preserved foods? However, it's not a joke and it's really hard, so please be careful if you have weak teeth!
