[From Eeyan ! Osaka Shopping Street] Gentle rice balls that spread warmth and connect people with specially selected rice

Fuji Onigiri Cafe

On the southwest side of Taisho Station on the Osaka Metro, in the retro Sansen Shopping Street, you'll find Fuji Onigiri Café, with its signboard depicting a rice ball.

The onigiri at Fuji Onigiri Cafe are known for their sweet and delicious rice. They use "Island Fragrance Oki Moshio Rice Special Kinumusume" from Oki Island, Shimane Prefecture. The rice is grown in a unique way, with seawater and arame (seaweed) boiled down to make "moshio" (seaweed salt), which is then sprayed on the rice fields.

Moshio is so rare that even if you boil down one ton of seawater for about 10 days, you can only get about 20 kilograms of it. The minerals in the Moshio are absorbed by the rice, and the umami flavor is concentrated in the rice.

The most popular onigiri fillings are grilled salmon and dried baby sardines with Japanese pepper. There are also seasonal fillings, such as fresh ginger tsukudani and homemade miso in the summer, and sweet potatoes in the fall.

The rice balls are made after the order is placed, so you can request how salty they are, and they are hot and fresh. When you eat one, the rice balls fall apart in your mouth, and a gentle sweetness spreads throughout your mouth.

There are private lodgings nearby, and as the number of foreign guests has been increasing recently, there are English menus available.
You can purchase the rice balls individually, but if you order the daily set meal, it comes with a side dish of the day, salad, and miso soup with lots of ingredients. It is also available for takeout, so some people bought a bento and said, "I'll have this for dinner tonight."

Why not come and try some warm rice balls made with carefully selected ingredients?
