This shop specializes in furikake (a condiment to sprinkle on rice), delicacies, and snacks. The front of this store is different from other stores in that it is set up like a counter, where products are lined up in rows. Almost all of the products on display are available for tasting. It is fun to listen to the explanations given by the staff while trying various products.

There is a wide variety of products that are well-reputed as good accompaniments to rice or as a snack to go with a drink. Tako Tamago ("octopus egg") is their popular snack made by putting a quail egg in the head of a small webfoot octopus. Kazunoko Matsumaezuke (herring roe pickled in sugar, soy sauce, etc.) and hamazukuri-ika-shiokara (fermented salted squid) are also available, both with less saltiness than what is typical.

Since its opening, the store has been popular for its many sesame-based products, such as sesame-bonito and sesame-yuzu.

You can enjoy adding these colorful delights to meals at home or bento meals on the go.
