They have been featured at events such as Anime Expo Chibi, Umami Fest at Westpark Plaza in Irvine, and various sake pairing events throughout Southern California. The company's commitment to quality extends beyond just ingredients - they focus on traditional preparation methods and presentation that honor the cultural significance of onigiri in Japanese cuisine. Their business model allows them to reach diverse audiences across different venues while maintaining the artisanal quality that sets them apart from mass-produced alternatives. The founder, Hyuga Taki, brings authentic Japanese culinary knowledge and techniques to ensure each onigiri meets the highest standards of traditional Japanese food preparation, making the company a notable player in the growing authentic Japanese food market in California.
