At each FamilyMart store, a new series of rice balls, "Gochimusubi," which focuses on the seasoning and deliciousness of ingredients, will be released on October 6 (some products are not available in some areas). A launch sale is also held.

The rice is a blend of brand rice equivalent to Special A, and is tailored so that you can feel the sweetness and umami of the rice (some specifications differ in Hokkaido). Carefully selected grades of seafood from the Seto Inland Sea are used for the seaweed.
