Visit this charming multi-purpose space at weekends for the bargain lunch set, where two onigiri, a hearty soup and pickles is just ¥650. Omusubi Stand Andon comprises four floors: the first houses the onigiri stand, while the second offers a library and eat-in space.
Andon uses premium rice from Akita prefecture while the fillings come in tried-and-tested flavours such as ume plum, salmon, minced meat in miso, chirimen sansho (dried whitebait mixed with sansho pepper) and iburigakko cheese (smoked takuan pickles with cream cheese), to name just a few. You can also get the onigiri at ¥250 a piece and two will make a filling meal. Lunch sets are also available for takeaway.
