My Rice Ball at am/pm! (私のおにぎりがam/pmで発売されます♪)

Remember it or not, in July, my "Black Gomoku Rice Ball" won the highest award at the cereal rice recipe contest and now it is commercialized! It will be sold at am/pm (convenience stores) from 9/29!!!

On Sunday, I received a few samples of it and tasted them with my boyfriend. It was fabulicious!!! The flavor of ingredients were nicely sealed in the rice ball. It's taste made me want more! I didn't expect it to become this perfect, so I am very satisfied with it :D

This rice ball "Kurogomoku Onigiri" will be available at 128yen ($1.28) at am/pm in Kanto, Kansai and Kyushu area for a month from 9/29. I will report about it again when it went on sale!

Let me write the detail in Japanese, too ;)
商品名「黒五目おにぎり」（売価１２８円）として、関東・関西・九州のam/pmにて、９月２９日（火）から約１ヶ月発売されます。＜詳細＞

The weather is nice again today. Yesterday, I forgot to get off the train to go to the GYM, so I will definitely work out today!

See ya ;)

    Yippee Ochi,

    Congrads on your product too bad you can't have your own restaurant, and sell your own creations. Maybe something to think about in the future!

    I hope you make a commission or percentage for the ones they sell! Looks delicious, wish I could try one! I'll have to check out your recipe!

    Keep going and the best will come to you!

    WOW! おめでとう！　That is awesome! Will you get any tiny profits if they sell a lot of rice-balls? I will definitely buy one (or two or three!!)

    Hi jose,

    Not that successful, jose. But I think I was lucky!
    They paid me one time but basically this commodification is the prize, so I don't get more than that.
    I can't wait the day of its release!!!

    Hi fran,

    Thanks! I hope it will be available in your area ;)
    Like I said to jose, this commodification was the prize for the contest, so there is no other profit.
    Anyway, I am happy that many people can try my rice ball soon!
