A place to get energized for the next day
I'm happy to be able to eat warm homemade rice balls even at night! I feel great the day after eating rice balls and red miso soup.

Wada-san: "I'm studying hard every day with the aim of opening an onigiri shop in Nagasaki city. Onigiri is a Nagasaki culture!"
If you're finishing off your day in Nagasaki, this is the onigiri shop you should definitely visit.
When you think of Nagasaki's drinking district, you think of the Shianbashi area. In this area lined with izakayas and snack bars, the last place drunk customers go is an onigiri shop. In fact, the Nagasaki way is to finish off a night of drinking with onigiri. This shop has been loved by locals for 30 years and specializes in onigiri, with the same lineup since it first opened. The large onigiri rice balls wrapped in crisp nori seaweed from Ariake are so delicious you'll eat two or three in one go! Eating oden with onigiri and taking a break with a bowl of red miso soup will surely lighten your steps on your way home. There are 2,3 types of onigiri in total. Be sure to try some of the more unusual varieties.
1. When you think of nightlife in Nagasaki, you think of bar-hopping at Shianbashi
2. The red lantern that says "Onigiri-ya Daruma" is the sign that the shop is open.
3. The owner will talk to you in a friendly manner over the small counter. It is recommended to go before 22pm before it gets crowded.
4. Once an order is placed, the rice balls are skillfully made.
5. From the left, "Midorizuke (cucumber and green pepper)", "Salted mackerel", and "Sea urchin and jellyfish". The most popular is salted mackerel.
6. Along with the rice balls, we also recommend trying oden, a Nagasaki specialty made with lots of fish paste.
