Anyway, rice balls are booming these days! A new onigiri specialty store has opened in Wellside Yamatouchi in Chizuka, Kofu City! Go to “Kome to Shio” which opened on May 2024, 5.

As the name suggests, the rice balls are made with ``Takegawa rice Koshihikari'' and Nagasaki's ``Salt from the Tsushima Straits.'' There are no displays in the store so that you can always enjoy the freshly made rice balls.

A system where you order by filling out an order form while looking at an illustrated menu. You can enjoy a wide variety of about 30 types of rice balls, including the so-called ``rice and salt'' rice balls, the standard salmon, salmon roe, and tuna mayo, as well as slightly more unusual ingredients such as maitake mushrooms, pork kimchi, and grilled eel.

The seasonal tempura on the day of the interview was “eggplant”!
Eggplant really goes surprisingly well with oil. Pour a generous amount of sweet and spicy sauce on it, and it goes great with rice.

The rice balls that are made each time you order are filled with plenty of toppings and are very satisfying!

The onigiri rice balls made with tea rice are full of filling ingredients such as sweetened enoki mushrooms, Japanese-style tuna mayo, seasoned eggs, and mayo chashu. Enjoy the flavor and texture of fluffy rice balls that melt in your mouth to your heart's content.

Also, experience a new phase of onigiri with ``Yakitori Maki'', which is yakitori wrapped in rice! This is a delicious new texture♪ Why not try the gizzard, thigh, and bonjiri parts to enjoy their respective flavors.

After all, “rice and salt” are the deciding factor for onigiri~♡
