Konigiri-Kun Itadakimasu - Let's eat!
Meet Konigiri-kun! He's an energetic little onigiri with a triangular body and a head sprinkled with sesame seeds. One day, while he's enjoying a picnic, the side dishes from his lunchbox are blown away! They roll and tumble down into a mysterious hole... He lands in a wondrous place, filled with countless scrolls recording the history of evolution and a strange white tree that projects their images. "Where in the world...?" Before he knows it, Konigiri-kun and his friends are pulled into this map of evolution and sent hurtling toward the future. I wonder what the "Itadakimasu" of the future will be like?
