FamilyMart Launches 3rd Ohtani Collaboration: 'Big Rice Ball: My Salmon & Okaka' on July 21

FamilyMart Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Tateo Kotani) will celebrate its 45th anniversary in September 2026. As part of its initiative to be the "tastiest" and "most beloved by the community," the company will release the third edition of its rice ball collaboration featuring "Omusubi Ambassador" Shohei Ohtani, titled "Big Rice Ball: My Salmon & Okaka," priced at 323 yen (348 yen including tax), starting July 21, 2026, at approximately 16,400 FamilyMart stores nationwide.

This product is packed with Shohei Ohtani's story, combining "salmon," which he actively incorporates into his diet, with "okaka" (dried bonito flakes), a flavor he loved as a high school student. The two perfectly compatible ingredients are wrapped generously in a portion size 1.5 times larger than standard hand-rolled rice balls.

Furthermore, as the third part of the "Smile Omusubi Project," a social contribution initiative that uses a portion of the proceeds from the "Big Rice Ball" series, the company has decided to hold a "Parent-Child Sports Measurement Event" to support children's healthy growth.
