7. Rice balls made with carefully selected ingredients unique to a long-established seaweed maker [Eshoya NICO-YA] / Kyoto Station

A rice ball specialty store operated by Nico Nico Nori, a long-established seaweed manufacturer founded over 100 years ago. Here, we use freshly harvested seaweed from the Ariake Sea that is crisp and rich in flavor, carefully selected to match the onigiri. Considering the compatibility with seaweed, the rice used is Koshihikari rice from Niigata Prefecture, and is cooked in a kombu (kelp) stock for a mild flavor. It is characterized by an exquisite texture that allows you to feel the grain of rice and melts in your mouth when you eat it. It's nice to be able to enjoy the luxurious taste of seaweed that is large enough to hide the rice. Satisfy yourself with satisfying rice balls made with high-quality ingredients.
