About this collection Rice balls can tell a surprisingly rich story about a region. This collection brings together local onigiri and related rice dishes, highlighting ingredients and food traditions connected with agriculture and fisheries across Japan.
The selection was associated with a regional rice-ball festival and includes more than 100 entries despite its name. Use it as an introduction to local food culture. A listing records a selected dish, rather than a guarantee that it is currently sold at a particular shop or restaurant.
