The "Lunch Box" is a popular set that comes with two onigiri (rice balls) and one side dish. You can choose your favorite kind of onigiri and side dish.
The onigiri are generously filled, large, and very satisfying. Popular side dishes include chicken Kara-age and croquettes.

The onigiri with ingredients mixed into the rice are also popular. The “uni butter kombu kelp” on the right in the photo is an irresistible item, with the gentle aroma of butter and uni (sea urchin) mixed into the rice and the salty taste of kombu kelp.
The “takana mentaiko” on the left in the photo is a popular menu item, with a mentaiko onigiri wrapped in a large takana (mustard leaf).

There were lots of kinds of large onigiri (rice balls). I chose an onigiri blended with kuromai (black rice). It was the type wrapped well with nori (seaweed). The salt level was just right, and it was very good. The inarizushi was also juicy and nicely infused with dashi (Japanese soup stock), and tasted great. Just looking at a row of onigiri makes me feel happy♪

Whenever I am short on time in Okayama and need to catch the Shinkansen, I always get onigiri (rice balls) here(^^) These onigiri (rice balls) are the best to eat on the Shinkansen. The standard fillings here are great of course, but the butter kombu kelp is especially good♪ They also have unusual options like chicken Outside skirt, which makes it fun to try different kinds.

Hiru no Hoshi is an onigiri cafe in Okayama, Okayama Prefecture, about a 2-minute walk from Yubinkyokumae Station on the Okaden Seikibashi Line, and it is particular about using no additives or chemical seasonings.
This restaurant is popular for its onigiri plates made with koji (Japanese malted rice), a traditional Japanese fermented food that brings out the natural umami of the ingredients and gives them rich flavor.

The "Eraberu hakko omusubi (fermented rice ball) plate" is a lunch menu item with a gentle, comforting taste. They use as few chemical seasonings as possible, instead using koji and additive-free seasonings.
The rice balls are soft enough to gently fall apart in your mouth. The main and side dishes are said to have a deep flavor from the use of koji.
All the sweets are mildly sweet. They use less sugar and bring out sweetness with mirin (sweet rice wine) and amazake (sweet fermented rice drink). You can enjoy light Japanese-style sweetness.
It seems some people also enjoy desserts after lunch, such as the "seasonal tart" and the "amazake cheesecake."

It seems to be a very popular place, and when I went right after it opened, most of the seats were already taken. This is a gut health lunch made with nama-koji (fresh koji). It is a body-friendly omusubi (rice ball) lunch. It seems to be free of additives.

On my first visit here, I found that their specialty is an additive free omusubi (rice ball) plate. I ordered the yangnyeom chicken made with homemade gochujang. They marinate the chicken in shio-koji (salted rice malt) and ginger, fry it in pure pressed rapeseed oil, and toss it with homemade gochujang. It has a proper kick, and the slight tang adds a nice accent. The side dishes, including Chinese cabbage and nori namul, also have a solid presence. The soy milk pudding has a light sweetness.

The onigiri (rice balls) are shaped only after you order, so you can enjoy them freshly made. The rice has a soft texture that gently falls apart. They also fill them generously with the ingredients.
There are more than 20 kinds of fillings to choose from. In addition to ordering A la carte, the popular "Custom Omusubi" lets you pick any two fillings you like.

The "Hokkori Set" is a good value set with one large onigiri (rice ball), Kara-age, and miso soup. It is surprisingly filling.
For the chicken Kara-age, you can choose from three types: "futsu-kara (regular)," "ama-kara (sweet-savory)," and "mayo-kara (with mayo)." It is also nice that they serve it freshly fried.

After playing at the park with friends, we stopped by Happy Town, and since the kids said they wanted onigiri (rice balls), we chose this place. It might be perfect for a light meal (eating out tends to feel heavy...). I was thinking, would we really go out of our way just for onigiri? But as expected, they had all kinds of fillings, and it was really good.

Tuna mayo never misses. It’s the strongest combo. They make the omusubi (rice ball) after you order, so it can take a little time when it’s busy. Even a single one is packed up properly.

Omusubiya Hinata is a Takeout specialty onigiri shop in Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture, about a 5-minute walk from Okayama Station.
This local, homey shop offers more than 10 kinds of onigiri (rice balls) along with a simple side menu.
The onigiri (rice balls) have densely packed rice and a firm texture. Even though they are small, they seem quite filling and satisfying.
The fillings are all highly original. Popular items include tsukudani (soy-simmered preserved food) with a nice wasabi note and takikomi gohan (seasoned rice cooked with ingredients) with tomato, offering some pleasantly surprising choices.

Brown rice onigiri (rice balls) are also popular. Brown rice is rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, and you can enjoy the nutty aroma of the rice.
At Hinata, they adjust the degree of milling and the amount of water to make tasty onigiri.

For an omusubi (rice ball), it is soft and moist, yet each grain of rice is pleasantly chewy. The aroma is clean, and though simple, it is very delicious.

I do not really know the difference between omusubi and onigiri, but since the shop name uses omusubi, these are omusubi. Haha. There were many different flavors, and this time I chose Chanja rolls, seasoned soft-boiled egg, mentaiko (spicy cod roe) cheese, and sake no saikyo-yaki (Saikyo miso grilled salmon). There were not many people around, so I did not have to wait in line.

Omusubi-do is about a 3-minute walk from Kenminkyoku Iriguchi Station on the Okaden Neopolis Line in Okayama, Okayama Prefecture. This is a Takeout specialty onigiri (rice ball) shop standing on a street corner.
Inside the small shop, a full lineup of unique onigiri is on display. The shop closes as soon as everything sells out, so we recommend going early.

You can choose from a wide range of onigiri (rice balls), including simple "shio-musubi (salted rice balls)," fragrant "yaki-onigiri (grilled rice balls)," and filling "okazu-musubi (rice balls topped with hearty side dishes)."
For seasoning, they use natural salt from Yakushima and carefully selected soy sauce. Though small in size, they are said to offer a flavor that lets you taste the quality of the ingredients.
These carefully made onigiri (rice balls) have a deep flavor. The rice and many ingredients layer together nicely.
The “Hogushi Shake Musubi” on the left in the photo brings out the rich taste of salmon marinated in shio-koji (salted rice malt), while the “Genmai Umeji” on the right is a dish you can enjoy for the pleasantly chewy texture of brown rice.

The crunchy brown rice goes really well with Nozawana (pickled mustard greens) and ume (pickled plum), and it tastes great. The onigiri (rice ball) is small, but when I took time to chew it well, it left me with a gentle sense of Manzoku.

The shop is so small that if two customers walk in, it feels crowded. Each item comes packed in its own container, which feels very hygienic. The yaki-onigiri (grilled rice balls) are cooked right in front of you, and they smell great.

Made with locally produced rice from Okayama and nori (seaweed), these onigiri (rice balls) feature simple fillings and soft, fluffy rice. The toasted aroma of the nori is said to be irresistible.
You can also enjoy the "Pork Tamago Sandwich," with fillings sandwiched between rice, as well as seasonal onigiri made with ingredients of the season.
They also offer a wide variety of prepared side dishes. The menu centers on Homemade home-style cooking made with seasonal ingredients, and everything is made in-house.
The gentle flavors, which give a sense of the warmth of home, are said to be a big hit.

I bought ume (pickled plum) and karashi mentaiko (spicy pollock roe). They were round onigiri (rice balls), and the flavor of the nori was nice. The rice was fluffy, and they had a slightly homemade feel that made them taste very good.

Grilled salmon, mackerel with shiso and gari (pickled ginger), chikuzen-ni (simmered chicken and vegetables), and komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach) dressed with yuzu kosho. Every dish was tasty and felt like the kind of healthy food that does you good, and the staff were quick and efficient while also being very polite, which made the experience really nice.
