Arare are the small rice crackers, about the size and shape of a cashew,
usually glazed with sweet soy sauce and often wrapped with dried
seaweed. Senbei are rice crackers in the shape of a silver dollar, often
flavored with ginger. A fortune cookie is a kind of senbei.

Crackseed used to sell a sort-of Hawaiian poppycock that had arare in
it; it was really good, but they don't seem to carry it any more. They
also used to have a lot of nice senbei as well, but they don't seem to
carry that anymore either. Luckily there are at least four Oriental
markets within a few miles of here, and they all carry at least some
kinds of both arare and senbei. The Hawaiian poppycock, unfortunately,
I've only seen at Crackseed.
