ABOUT OUR PEOPLE

The beginnings of Sakata Rice Snacks can be traced back to the Japanese village of Sakata where the Sato brothers began their tradition more than 50 years ago.

Producing over 100 varieties of delicious rice crackers over the years, the Sato brothers created the usu-yaki rice cracker. Known and loved by the Japanese for its fine, crispy texture, today* the appeal of usu-yaki rice crackers is enjoyed by consumers around the world.

* The Sakata ® Japanese Rice Crackers you enjoy today are now produced in Australia

HISTORY

Here at Sakata Towers we are passionate about creating great tasting Rice Crackers which give you a bite sized moment of happiness. We love creating delicious new flavours and experimenting with homemade dips and accompaniments in our kitchen at work.

In the team we each have our own favourite flavour combinations:
Alex ‘I love the gently soothing chocolate cream cheese on a crunchy Lightly Salted Sakata followed by a zingy chilli kick!’
Rosie ‘My favourite flavour is Sour Cream & Chives – I munch on them at my desk, or at home. They’re amazing with a dollop of crème fraîche on top and a little slice of smoked salmon, garnished with chives or dill. If friends come round they look like an impressive canapé but are super quick to put together.’
Rebecca ‘I love to snack on Seaweed Sakata rice crackers, I prefer to eat my crackers as a tasty snack between meals to keep me full’

1. Rice in the fields
Sakata is made from the finest quality rice, The rice is carefully harvested and then polished, making it ready for rice production.

2. Polishing
Polishing of the rice occurs in two stages. First, the hard outer husk is removed leaving what is known as ‘brown rice’. The bran layer is then removed to leave a nicely polished white grain known as white rice.

3. Washing
The white grain polished rice is carefully cleaned to remove any foreign materials that may have been collected in the fields during harvesting.

4. Milling
The cleaned white grains are then crushed to produce a fine white powder, known as rice flour. The rice flour is delivered to Sakata’s factory in Laverton North on the outskirts of Melbourne, Australia.

5. Steam kneading
The rice flour is combined with water and steam to form a smooth pliable dough. Great attention must be given to the dough texture since it will greatly affect the texture of the final product.

6. Cooling
The dough cools off in a long bath filled with cold water where it remains until its temperature has reduced sufficiently for further processing to take place.

7. Shaping
This is the part that determines the final shape of the product that you eat. It may be a round shape for Sakata Rice Crackers . Or small hexagonal shapes for Snakatas.
Firstly, the dough is rolled flat using large rollers (a bit like a huge rolling pin). Then the shapes are cut using different shaped cutters. Look out for new shapes in the future!

8. Drying
The pre-cut shapes, travel about a kilometre through an enormous drier until they are dry, crisp and ready for roasting.

9. Roasting
The dry, crisp crackers are carefully placed in rows on the tray and oven roasted. After roasting, the piping hot crackers are golden brown and crunchy. Yum!

10. Seasoning
The freshly roasted crackers are coated with a very light layer of oil and our range of delicious seasonings, each unique. The crackers are sprinkled with seasoning and then tumbled around to ensure an even coating.

11. Packaging
Our workers ensure each Sakata Rice Cracker is packed carefully into trays and into cartons ready for delivery to the market.

12. Distribution
Every day thousands of cartons leave Sakata’s warehouse at Laverton North to travel to destinations throughout Australia and around the world. Their final destination is your mouth.

What does Gluten Free mean?
Gluten is a protein found in the cereals wheat, rye and barley. A similar protein is found in oats. In EU countries like the UK, there is legislation governing which products can make a gluten-free claim. Sakata rice crackers are gluten free and are suitable for coeliacs.

Sakata is listed in Coeliac UK’s Food and Drink Directory. To find out more about the gluten free diet you may like to visit www.coeliac.co.uk

How can I be sure that Sakata is gluten-free?
We very carefully control the way Sakata is manufactured to ensure that it is gluten free, and conduct regular testing to ensure that Sakata can make a gluten free claim.

SAKATA SIZZLING BBQ FLAVOUR & SAKATA SEAWEED FLAVOUR ARE ALSO GLUTEN FREE!

We have had a few questions recently asking if the Sakata BBQ or Sakata Seaweed flavour contain any gluten. Let us reassure you that, as the label states, the products are gluten free and this has been confirmed by analytical testing through an accredited laboratory here in the UK, using the preferred test method of Coeliac UK.

The questions arose because the ingredients list does declare “soy sauce made from wheat” . While the soy sauce used is made with a mixture of soy beans and wheat, the wheat proteins are removed or de-natured by the soy sauce manufacturing process and therefore there is no longer any detectable gluten present. Due to EU allergen labelling legislation, wheat used in soy sauce manufacturing still has to be labelled on the pack, even when the product is gluten free.

We hope this is reassuring information for you and that you feel that you are able to enjoy all the flavours of Sakata on sale in the UK.
