A stick-shaped push sushi made with Toyama's specialty "Masu no Sushi" and the seafood of the Sea of Japan "Kuzuiwagani no Sushi". Since it is cut into bite sizes and packaged, you can enjoy it easily with one hand even in the car without taking place.

[Comment from Shinobu Kobayashi]
Recommended when you want to eat two kinds of sushi little by little!

It's cut into 1-piece cans so that you can easily eat it. It's fun to enjoy the harmony of the crab, which is rich in greasy trout and the scent of rocks.

  • Due to limited quantity on weekends and holidays, we will stop selling for the same day as soon as it is exhausted.
