Onigiri Joshuya

This rice ball shop was founded in 1981 and is attached to a rice shop. The onigiri made with care by the owner, Mitsuko Murosaki, are popular, using carefully selected rice such as Tsuyahime from Yamagata Prefecture and Koshihikari rice from Nagano Prefecture, which is chemical-free.

She uses two large rice cookers to cook the rice and makes over 300 rice balls in a day on a busy day. There are always 20 types available, from classics like salmon and pickled plums to fried chicken and tempura. The secret to its popularity is the deliciousness of its homemade ingredients, such as green onion miso made from fermented miso and fried chicken coated with sweet and spicy sauce. She is particular about the quality of seaweed, salmon, cod roe, etc., and purchase them from reliable suppliers. ``I want you to enjoy the freshly made onigiri as soon as possible,'' so she only makes a few onigiri in advance. When an order is placed, she quickly makes it using a mold. The style, which has remained unchanged for over 40 years, is also appealing, as the onigiri is placed on paper in the Kyogi style and wrapped in Kabuki-patterned wrapping paper.
