UNAGI ONIGIRI | 鰻おにぎり
THE WALTZ OF FREEDOM

Summer at Hikari is a journey toward weightlessness.

Light in flavor, airy in structure. It requires few words—only a cool breathing space for the body and spirit to find liberation.

And Unagi Onigiri is the very embodiment of that free spirit.

Inspired by the transformative era of late Edo and early Meiji, when port city lanterns illuminated Western suits walking alongside Kimonos, and Sake cups first clinked against Wine glasses. Elegance then lay not in rigid formalities, but in the poise of walking gracefully between two cultural currents.

Unagi Onigiri fully encapsulates this aura: A firm rice ball cradling a slice of char-grilled eel, wafting a seductive smokiness. Adorning the top is a delicate Pansy petal—a subtle touch bridging the classic and the contemporary aesthetic.

Deeply Japanese yet breathing the air of the world. A flavor as free and spirited as the Waltz of that era.
