Since August 2024, "Obimusu" has been offering monthly onigiri featuring ingredients cooked by Michelin-starred chefs. Starting with Chef Oya of "Nihon Ryori Midori Oya" (Tenma) in August 2024, many chefs transcending the boundaries of Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisines have agreed to participate in this project. These include Chef Kitagawa of "Oimatsu Kitagawa" (Nishitenma), Chef Azuma of "Chi-Fu" (Nishitenma), Chef Fujita of "agnel d'or" (Awaza), Chef Maekawa of "Ryoriya Maekawa" (Kiyomizu-Gojo, Kyoto), Chef Matsuo of "Koryu" (Kitahama), Chef Sasagani of "La Terrasse irisee" (Ayameike, Nara City), Chef Yamada of "RiVi" (Kyomachibori), Chef Katayama of "Nihon Ryori Rakushin" (Shin-Fukushima), Chef Iikura of "Washoku Iikura" (Minamimorimachi), and Chef Kawahara of "Kawahara" (Nakatsu/Nakazakicho). You can enjoy a wide variety of Michelin flavors from the Kansai region, including Nara and Kyoto, not just Osaka, in the form of an onigiri. Because the ingredients are actually cooked by Michelin-starred chefs, they are offered in a strictly limited quantity of 100 servings from the start of sales.
The participating chef this time is Chef Takaki Inaya of "Ryoriya Inaya" in Kitashinchi.
After training at the renowned Michelin-starred restaurant "Ryoriya Uemura," which represents Kobe, Chef Inaya went independent in February 2021 and opened "Ryoriya Inaya." Under the concept of "Japanese cuisine tasted with all five senses," he respects the framework of Japanese cuisine while never forgetting a playful and inquiring mind. His exquisite dishes have attracted attention not only from domestic food lovers but also gourmets from abroad, instantly making it a famous restaurant that earned a Michelin star.
