What the heck did I eat?

I went to Fuji today, a Sushi restaurant here in Tulsa, and before taking our order they brought out these.. rice chip things....

They were multicolored like pastel pink, green, yellow... and were salty and delicious.. Practically melted in your mouth!

What are these called and where can I get them?

Update:

It seems that they're prawn crackers! WOOT!

    Maybe Arare Rice Puffs?

    Eden brand's Five Flavor variety package says: "Arare (a-ra-ray), 'hail' in Japanese, is one of the most popular traditional snacks in Japan. Eden® Arare Rice Puffs are made much like those invented over 800 years ago. Whole sweet brown rice is steamed, pounded into mochi, a glutinous dough, then shaped, seasoned, and baked to crisp perfection. Enjoy five colorful and unique kinds: dried Safflower petals (Pink), toasted Nori flakes (Green), black sesame seeds (Black), our own special Tamari and barley malt blend (Brown), and simply delicious Plain."

    They are also traditionally served with sushi during the Japanese Hina matsuri (Dolls festival), also called Momo no sekku (Peach festival).

    Hope that helps! :)

    Were they crispy and fried? If they were they were probably prawn crackers aka shrimp chips. You can get them in supermarkets anywhere.
