Kurihara City PR officer: Nejiri Honnýo. This character was created with honn̄yo as its motif, a local method of drying harvested rice by hanging it on poles, as a symbol of the rice-growing region of Kurihara that people want to preserve for the future. Favorite foods are rice balls and rice cakes made with rice grown in Kurihara. Nejiri Honnýo appears at various events to share Kurihara's delicious foods and fun information with everyone.
