Handa, Aichi, Japan｜Omusubi Cafe Nikori

Family friendly, chill place with a great take on some Japanese staple food. Will completely change your view of how onigiri can be served and eaten. The portions are also great for kids and adults alike.

My 2 year old daughter loves it so much, what would she like for dinner? When I ask them this, they say "smiling!" one out of every two times. When I eat out, I tend to eat mostly wheat, but the meals here are well-balanced, and I even drink up the miso soup. The kids lunch plate is a great value at 600 yen. There is also a full menu for adults. There are dozens of types of onigiri, and there are also monthly limited edition onigiri. You can also add side dishes. The seaweed is locally grown in Tokoname, the rice is delicious, and I'm a picky eater, so 3 pieces was just enough for me. I sometimes play at Hanazono Park with my friend's family from nursery school and then stop by afterward, and it seems like my friend's mom also liked it so much that she has started going there regularly. As of March 2023, due to a lack of manpower, our business hours are shortened to 6:00 p.m. Open until 3pm on Tuesdays only. Pets are allowed if you sit outside on the terrace (only on sunny days). I think you'll love it if you go. This is one of my favorite restaurants that I hope will continue to be around.

It's a rice ball cafe that I really hope there will be more cafes like this. It's a really nice cafe for parents with small children. The tatami mat seats are spacious, and small children can be safely accompanied. Allergens are clearly indicated on the menu, so even if you bring a child with allergies, you don't have to worry about ordering. One rice ball seems to be about the size of a bowl. If you add a set with a plus price, it comes with fried chicken, salad, miso soup, etc., so even adults can eat a satisfying amount. The parking lot seems to be able to park about 20 cars.
