Disseminating the charm of Gifu “Omusubi” planning start

2021.11.14

At “Beringei cafe”, which offers the charm of Gifu by local production for local consumption as a “local dining table”, we sell rice balls using the rice “Life Ichi” which represents Gifu, the second production project. increase.

Rice representing Gifu that won the [Japan's No. 1] four times in the "Rice Contest for People to Eat"

The rice “Life Ichi” produced at “Manma Farm” located in Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture, has a reputation for being extremely delicious with its large grains, aroma and texture. Gifu is rich in nature, and the water flowing from the mountains to the river has supported our lives. In winter, there is a lot of snow, and there is a lot of meltwater flowing in the river, and the temperature difference in the heat of summer makes rice grow.
In the area, the more children eat white rice as it is and the more children refill it, the more popular it is.

Selling "Omusubi" where rice connects Gifu's food

Having people like the food of their hometown eventually creates a feeling for their hometown and leads to contributions to the community. We planned with that in mind. With a wish, we can connect various Gifu foods with rice balls.
We want you to enjoy the rice as it is, and you can eat it with a dip type that you can choose your favorite taste.
There are many types of miso in Gifu, and we also offer dips using red miso and Gujo miso as side dish miso.

Starting from Toiyacho [Toimusubi]

The name of the dip type rice ball is “Toimusubi” as a rice ball in Toiyacho. It also has the meaning of connecting good things called wholesalers.
