It's an onigiri shop located near the Legal Affairs Bureau and Hello Work office. They have parking space for one car only. I tried the Nanban miso and tarako onigiri. They may look a bit small, but they are thick so the portion size is normal. They also have a variety of side dishes available.

On February 11th, my father's aunt (to be precise, my uncle's wife, not blood-related to me) passed away. I received a call from my mother that night. I adjusted my schedule and flew to Hakodate early in the morning on the 12th. Hakodate Airport was covered in snow. I went to Hanazono-yu with my father to freshen up, shaved, changed into mourning clothes at home, and then headed to the venue, Heian Hall Yunokawa. I met with relatives there and they had prepared rice ball sets for us. The rice balls had toppings of bonito flakes and salmon, and the side dishes included rolled omelette, red sausages, fried chicken, croquettes, and pickles. It was a very comforting and familiar meal, with a homemade touch that made me feel at ease. I realized I hadn't eaten anything since morning, so the gentle rice balls really hit the spot.

This is an onigiri (rice ball). I visited Saku Onigiri in Niikawa-cho, near the joint government building. It was my first visit. I really had a craving for onigiri this day. I was so hungry and decided to have onigiri for lunch. I bought sesame salmon and cheese mentaiko onigiri. The total cost was 280 yen. I ate them in the car and they were delicious. The rice was tasty, and the fillings of salmon and cheese mentaiko were also good. It was a satisfying meal. I recommend this place for a quick onigiri fix. Thank you for the meal.

2011/03 Revisited Recently renovated, the shop looks much cleaner now. It's conveniently located in front of the parking entrance of the Joint Government Building. I went a bit late, so there were only a few onigiri left in the case, and I couldn't get a freshly made one. I ended up purchasing what was available: Cheese Okaka - with chunks of cheese, which may not be to everyone's taste. Salmon Shoyu - not salted, but with soy sauce. The salmon inside is flaked. Yukari - refreshing. If you like shiso, this is recommended. Nanban Miso - incredibly spicy, so be careful! It will make your tongue tingle. The bento sets are affordable, making it easy to buy. Recommended for a lunch on the go. The shop is located at the entrance of the Joint Government Building's parking lot. You can park one car right in front of it. The shop is not very spacious; it's a takeout place. They offer a variety of onigiri, including the classic salmon, tarako (140 yen), umeboshi, okaka (130 yen), as well as original onigiri like Cheese Okaka, Nanban Miso, Aojiso, and Sakura (around 150 yen). They also have surimi, mentaiko, kombu, tuna soy sauce, and more. They also offer side dishes, such as a 150 yen pack with two tamagoyaki and two pieces of karaage, or a 300 yen pack with various items. It's slightly more expensive than convenience stores, but it's freshly made and delicious. If they don't have what you want, they can make it for you. The onigiri is substantial, with delicious rice and a fluffy texture. A branch has recently opened in Mihara.

There are large onigiri with various delicious flavors available, and my favorite is the "Cheese Okaka" flavor. The rice is really tasty, noticeably different from onigiri sold elsewhere. They also sell side dishes like tamagoyaki (rolled omelette) and wiener sausage, or tamagoyaki and karaage (fried chicken), which are quite delicious. However, the staff are not very friendly, which is a shame considering how tasty the food is.

Oni-activity in July 2022! Located across from the Chitose-cho Regional Joint Government Building, there is a rice ball shop that tastes great even when cold. They offer about 20 different fillings, with most priced around 150 yen, and the most expensive being salmon roe at 270 yen! A popular soul food in Hakodate, their soy sauce flavored rice balls come in a variety of options. The classic "salmon" flavor is a must-try, and you can order with soy sauce. When you open the small, round bag, you'll find a thoughtful touch - a plastic wrap that allows you to eat without getting your hands dirty. The rice balls are soft and fluffy, even when cold, with a gentle soy sauce flavor. While the fillings are not overly generous, they are delicious. So tasty! Thank you for the meal.
