That's awesome! I haven't heard of that school's initiatives before, but it sounds incredible. You might have better luck contacting the school directly – their website (if they have one) should have contact info, or you could try emailing the local ward office.

Also, don't underestimate the power of a simple shiomusubi (salt onigiri). The quality of the rice and the salt makes all the difference. The best ones are deceptively simple. If you see something with a unique seaweed type, give it a go. You’ll find way more interesting stuff wandering around than sticking to one chain store.
