【TV Exposure on Onigiri's Day】
June 18th is an Onigiri's day in Japan.
The reason why today was certificated as an Onigiri day is a town in Ishikawa prefecture where the world's oldest carbonized rice in Onigiri shape was found set up as an anniversary day for its revitalization.

On such a memorable day, TV program which our representative Yusuke Nakamura was interviewed about his addiction to Onigiri, our association's global activities and introducing unique Onigiri recipes will be on air.

We appreciate such a chance to tell our love to Onigiri widely!
Don't miss the TV program😉

【Thank You for Sold Out】
Our original local onigiri for Canada was sold out at Kampai Toronto thanks to the collaboration with Abokichi, a popular onigiri cafe in Toronto!!

We focused on Canadian rice, wild rice and use it with quinoa and white rice as a base. Maple and salmon are specialties in Canada, so this is a fusion onigiri with Canada and Japanese.

We're so glad and happy that guests at the event liked it

Local onigiri for Canada using wild rice debuts★

We implement sampling of our onigiri at a soldout foodie event in Toronto as our 3rd global project thanks to the collaboration with Abokichi, a popular onigiri cafe in Toronto.

We developed two recipes of local onigiri for Canada by trying a new challenge of making Japanese onigiri with Canadian rice. The mixture of white rice, wildrice and quinoa is the unique base of the onigiri.

Canadian superfood, “wild rice” has gotten global attention lately as a superfood beyond brown rice because it’s not only nutrient-rich and low-calorie like brown rice, but also low-fat (one-third of brown rice), low-salt (half of brown rice), and is rich in protein and vitamins.

◾️Chicken Peanut Salad Onigiri
(available at The Stop’s Night Market on June 15th)
Healthy Onigiri made with local organic chicken breast, Asian carrot salad with peanut sauce and broccoli sprouts.

◾️Maple Teriyaki Salmon Onigiri
Fusion Onigiri of Canadian and Japanese taste. Cooking Teriyaki with salmon and maple syrup, representative specialties in Canada. Adding cheese-mayo tartar sauce topped with fresh onion and dill.

These recipes will be published in English after the event on our website below.
