ONIGIRI is a Japanese food that has a longer history than sushi. Why not try holding freshly harvested rice in your hands while it is still hot? Children will be welcomed. There is an area with toys for kids to play with. There are two different flavors. If you have any allergies, please let us know in advance. △Tuna mayonnaise ▲Shrimp tempura If you would like to try ▲Fresh Egg yolk (can be placed on rice balls using a special cooking method) Ask them when you make the reservation. Vegetarian and vegan menus are currently being prepared. Ask us if you would like to order them, please. We also make miso soup, with a chawan bowl. If you have a cafe au lait bowl at home, we will share recipes that you can make even when you return to your home country. Enjoy rice balls and miso soup, be thankful for the blessings of everyday life, and spend some peaceful time here in Hiroshima with mothers (who also speak English and have lived overseas). For dessert, try making matcha tea. Please enjoy matcha you made with Japanese sweets (Wagashi). Let's learn the manners of the tea ceremony (SADOU) together and become more Japanese than Japanese. <(_ _)>bow No alcohol served.
