Hello! I am Kurihara from Smile Keeper, also known as “Suma-Kee”.

As we move past the middle of May, we have been seeing more days of weather that feels like the start of the rainy season. How have you been?

Since April, we have welcomed new members, and the office has become even more lively.
As a result, competition for onigiri has intensified, keeping Suma-Kee extremely busy!

The total number of onigiri we have made so far is mountain-like.
When we counted, the number had surpassed 20,000 🍙🍙🍙

We would like to introduce some of these very popular onigiri.

Onigiri Instagram is now live!

To record our daily onigiri, we launched an onigiri Instagram account in February 2023!

What is the popular onigiri that disappears in one minute?

On weekdays around 5:00 PM, onigiri appear in the central kitchen.

Hungry members are drawn in by the “aroma” drifting through the office and gradually gather around. (Some even come running… haha)

We would like to introduce these very popular onigiri.

Korean-style onigiri

This onigiri contains Korean seaweed, kimchi, takuan (pickled daikon), and tuna. We made the seasoning bold—perfect for when you are hungry.

Salt onigiri

Seasoned varieties are popular, but the simple salt onigiri with nori was also a big hit. We also heard comments that simple is the most delicious after all.

Mackerel ginger onigiri

We usually only serve fish-based options like salmon, but we had canned mackerel, so we tried repurposing it. We also added ginger, resulting in a refreshing onigiri.

Bonus

Spam onigiri

A foolproof onigiri combination of rice × meat. People had their eyes on it from the moment we started grilling the meat, haha.
Spam onigiri has become an extremely popular item that you can only win if you dash for it!

Inari sushi

We made sushi rice using homemade seasoning and tried making slightly sweet inari sushi. Many members love inari sushi, so it was very well received! I would like to make it again for them.

Baseball onigiri

The WBC was held this March, and Japan won the championship! To celebrate, we made baseball-shaped onigiri in the central kitchen. Some members even took photos while shaping the rice balls, haha.

How was it?
This was our introduction to the popular onigiri that sells out in just one minute.

As mentioned in the bonus ⚾ section, we also make onigiri to match the season and events. We hope you can enjoy a sense of the seasons in the office through onigiri. .。o○

We are truly grateful to the members who always enjoy our onigiri. We will continue doing our best to make onigiri so we can keep those smiles!
