New jersey agriculture in Edgewater, New Jersey

Omusubi Gonbei is a restaurant located at 595 River Road, Edgewater, New Jersey, United States, dedicated to promoting the consumption of rice and supporting Japanese farmers and agriculture. Our delicious Omusubi rice balls are a reflection of our commitment to this mission. The founder was inspired to create Omusubi Gonbei after witnessing the decline in rice consumption while working in the Middle East. Our goal is to expand the role of rice in Japanese cuisine, increase rice consumption, and support sustainable agricultural practices. Omusubi is a traditional Japanese dish consisting of rice and various fillings wrapped in Nori (seaweed). These palm-sized rice balls are convenient and versatile, perfect for a snack, meal, office lunch, or picnic. Rice is a nutritious staple food in Japan, rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. Omusubi is a well-balanced and nutritious option, suitable for those with dietary restrictions as it is gluten-free and vegan-friendly.
