Illustrator and graphic designer Yuri Yokomizo is launching a cute onigiri pop-up shop at Miyashita Park’s Miyashita+ event space, where the pop-up will run from January 18 until February 16. Anthropomorphised smiling rice balls will be sold in sets of two for ¥990, with different toppings placed on their heads. Choose one onigiri from group A (plain, tuna mayo, bonito flake, soft-boiled egg, plum) and another from group B (salmon, grilled cod roe, tempura shrimp, pork with egg, or salmon roe).
While a bit pricier than your average onigiri, these cute treats are sure to sell like hot cakes – not least because Norionigiri is a member of the popular character merch line Nandemo Ikimono. While you're there, don't forget to grab some cute original norionigiri yasan merch.
