In the rice fields, work such as raising rice seedlings and plowing is steadily progressing. With the arrival of this season, people are offering "Oinari-san filled with Kurosengoku soybeans" to pray for a bountiful harvest and good health!

This onigiri is made by wrapping deep-fried tofu, a favorite food of foxes, who are said to be messengers of Inari, the god of bountiful harvests, in nutritious 15-grain rice seasoned with Kurosengoku soybeans.
The seasoned rice is made with a dashi broth made from kelp and shiitake mushrooms, and is slowly simmered with shredded shiitake mushrooms, carrots, and dried daikon radish in the dashi broth, as well as rice cooked with 24-grain rice containing Kurosengoku soybeans, and then mixed with plenty of white sesame seeds!!!
The combination of richly seasoned rice and flavorful fried tofu is excellent!
This onigiri is infused with broth and has a gentle sweetness.
We give thanks for our daily health and the bounty of all living things, and pray for happiness during the festival season by eating oinari sushi, with boundless love, gratitude, and prayers...
