Lawson's "local" series "Hometown is delicious! 』. Rice balls and bento boxes made from "delicious food" from all over the country are on sale. Not only can you enjoy the local flavors, but the unique packaging design is also attractive.

The rice ball "Akita's delicious! Salmon Shottsuru pickles" released on March 4th is designed with Akita's specialty "Namahage". Did you know that this namahage actually has two facial expressions?


Apart from the "scary" namahage that you see in product introductions on web pages, there is a smiling "smile" version. I found it at the store and saw it twice.

The eyebrows and outer corners of the eyes are slightly lowered, and the mouth is rather large. It seems that you can hear the voice of "gahagaha". It looks more like a pitiful expression than a smile ... But I'm sure he's laughing because he's lifted the radish up. Namahage isn't scary ...! I think, but this smile may be a smile and scary.


By the way, there are salmon soaked in seasoning with "shottsuru" (fish sauce) and Iburi-gakko radish pickles. The crunchy texture of the radish and the smoky scent that followed were impressive. The rice is also flavored, so people who like spicy soy sauce will love it.


However, since this product is sold for a limited time and in a limited quantity, many stores may not sell it. If you find one, please look for "Smiley Namahage".

"The goodness of the hometown! ] Series, "Kagoshima's delicious! Sakurajima Dori lava ware" will be released on March 18th. Will there be a different version here as well? Is chicken difficult?
