Lotte City Hotel Kinshicho (Location: 4-6-1 Kinshi, Sumida-ku, Tokyo; General Manager: Tomoya Fukui) will host an experiential food education event, 'Our Family's Food Education Journey Starting with Onigiri,' on Sunday, June 7, 2026, featuring food producer 'Nigiribito' Yoshie Kamiya. This event offers children an opportunity to cultivate their senses through the aroma of cooked rice, the warmth transmitted through their palms, and the surprise of the first bite. Guests can also enjoy a special 'Food Education Colorful Plate' arranged from Lotte City Hotel Kinshicho's popular breakfast menu.

Furthermore, Lotte Arai Resort (Location: Myoko City, Niigata Prefecture; Representative: Tomoya Fukui), operated by the Lotte Group, announced the launch of accommodation plans that allow guests to enjoy a rice planting experience for 'Hoshizorayone,' an original brand of rice used in this event.

**Experience the 'Joy of Food' with the Popular 'Nigiribito' Yoshie Kamiya**

Yoshie Kamiya, who will serve as the instructor, is active not only across Japan but also overseas, practicing 'Rice Tourism' to convey Japanese food culture. Her onigiri, which makes people want to ask for seconds again and again, has captivated many. At this event, in addition to a fun time for parents and children to make onigiri together, guests can also enjoy talks about techniques to bring out the deliciousness of rice and food education that nurtures children's sensibilities.

**Message from Yoshie Kamiya**

We offer a time for parents and children to make onigiri, create parfaits, and think about food together with guardians.

At this event, children can challenge themselves to make stick-shaped onigiri, which are easy to hold. Please experience the joy of moving your hands and the satisfaction of forming onigiri while freely combining your favorite ingredients. By sharing time as a family, conversations will naturally arise, creating a heartwarming moment.
