Store rice cakes in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their crispness and prevent them from becoming stale. They generally do not require refrigeration. Once opened, reseal the package tightly or transfer the rice cakes to a resealable bag or container. If they become slightly soft, you can crisp them up in a low-temperature oven for a few minutes.
