Senbei (Rice Cracker)
Like senbei you snap in two and share, you're unadorned and crisp with people.
Senbei are crackers made by rolling out rice or wheat dough thin and baking it. Of Soka senbei, a story is told that they began in the Edo period at a post town on a highway, when unsold rice dumplings were flattened and baked. They keep well and have been eaten all year round.
Like senbei, you're unadorned and always the same. Your words are crisp, and when a conversation looks like it'll drag on, you wrap it up and move on. Rather than sticking close to people, you prefer to meet casually and part on good terms.
Senbei are easy to snap in two and share. Your crisp words, too, lighten the mood. But when your brisk replies keep coming, people can feel you're trying to end the conversation. When the other person seems to have more to say, try adding one question.
