This heavy feeling is cute! A popular gift idea＊

Since it's called “omusubi,” it brings good fortune and is in high demand for wedding gifts and return gifts! It won the gold award at the Niigata City Souvenir Competition＊

The project and production was done by the Niigata creator group "hickory03travelers"!

They select products that make daily life enjoyable based on the concept of "Let's enjoy everyday life," featuring traditional Niigata souvenirs.

Believe it or not, it's 3 go (about 540 grams) of rice!

Surprisingly voluminous! You can tell its size when holding it with both hands. This is all Koshihikari produced in Niigata... it makes you want to prepare some miso soup.

A versatile gift that tastes great and brings joy when used!

It seems you can also include black rice that turns into something like sekihan (red rice) when cooked with Koshihikari, making it perfect for various occasions♡

I want people to enjoy Niigata rice, but it feels lonely if nothing is left, so I wanted to create something that remains! That's how this "omusubi" came to be. It's a gift that brings joy to both the giver and the receiver in a distinctly Japanese way.

They also offer online shopping!
