Worth noticing
The five colors correspond to the Buddhist five hindrances; each has its own oil flavor, including Ibuki Island iriko and aged black garlic.

Field notes

The site lays out a simple meal ritual: choose a color, eat the grilled rice ball plain or dip it in broth, and pair it with one of five flavor oils. It connects those colors to the Buddhist five hindrances, while individual flavor descriptions name ingredients such as Ibuki Island iriko and aged domestic black garlic. The restaurant also lists morning and café menus; its takeout details are marked as in preparation.
