Onigiri is very popular at this shop and we highly recommend this flavor “oboro (minced fish)” which goes will with rice. Then, let’s go to the cooking room!

Making a soft onigiri quickly is craftmanship.

The mother can measure one onigiri with her sense by holding. The father can shape it into a triangle with enough air like sushi. His technique cannot be imitated by the machine. The series of these action are done very quickly, that’s why their onigiri keeps good taste even cold.

They use Koshihikari rice from Nigata Pref.

They are also particular to the ingredient. They always use Koshihikari from Nigata Pref. The important thing is washing the rice quickly and leaving them for a long time before boiling. This process makes the rice good. In addition, they don’t use the chemical seasoning. The owner says that everything is subject to the rice.

As you know, the onigiri is cooked with their love. When you enjoy hiking and cherry blossom picnic in Takayama, why don’t you take this onigiri?
