Nirasaki, Yamanashi, Japan｜Ajinomise HOSAKA

When I was about to go, I was turned away by a cafe that had been open since early in the morning, and I thought, "What the heck, this is a cafe that's open around here, but I can't seem to find it anywhere." I started walking and noticed that there was an old-fashioned rice ball shop open there. If you look at Google Maps, the points are high. I went there! There aren't any flashy modern rice balls in the showcase, so this is the main thing? There's no convenience store on the street, so I thought to myself, ``Maybe I'll be able to get by with that,'' so I bought four for my second breakfast. Leafy cucumber/Plum/Ginger/Seasoned rice (I forget the name) Nana whopping 440 yen paid by PayPay. So cheap~ When I picked up the onigiri that was handed to me in a plastic bag, it felt different from the convenience store onigiri... good! delicious! All the rice balls were delicious though. It's an old-fashioned deliciousness that you can't find at convenience stores, just by adding chopped ginger. The seasoned rice was also delicious.

It's the best to say the least. It's not noticeable, but it's actually amazing! I can definitely say that it ranks among the strongest in its genre. Nirasaki is an unassuming town, but I don't know if it's well-known or not, but when I went there, it was definitely a scenic town (the view from the station platform was so nice), and it's such a wonderful location that it would be a waste to just pass by on the express train. A wonderful and beloved shop. There is a wide variety of rice balls, and the distribution of flavors is exquisite. This is certainly a store of taste! Eat this delicious rice and work hard! Japanese! (This is a scolding to myself) The fact that such sincere shops are loved and remain so strong makes me think that the world has not given up on them yet. I'm sure Katsuyori Takeda is also happy behind the scenes.

I received it from an acquaintance in Nirasaki. The way the seaweed is wrapped is different for each type of onigiri😳 It seems to be a famous onigiri shop in Nirasaki. It was delicious.
