[PIC/Fanacc] 181104 Tohoshinki’s Niigata Food Favourites Led to Long Lines and Sold out Products!

Through their recent TV appearance and during their talk segments in their concerts at Niigata (181102-04), Tohoshinki have shared with their fans some of their favourite food products from Niigata. Naturally, this caused a huge interest amongst Japanese fans who wanted to get their hands on them and try them out. It also resulted in long lines in front of stores and even sold out products, which is great for the locals ^^* (just like the Fukui’s Raputo-kun and Sapporo’s Classic beer, etc~)

For Niigata, the products are: Niigata rice (Shinnosuke brand introduced via NTV’s “Gyoretsuno Dekiru Horitsu Sodanjo”), Niigata mascot Lerch-san dolls (premium seat video). In addition to those introduced via the talks in the concerts (1, 2): Onigiri (rice ball) at Niigata station, Yasuda yougurt (store in Niigata station), the curry (バスセンターのカレー) from Bandai City Bus Center’s Curry store, and Niigata rice wine!

Below is a compilation from different days on this phenomenon!

新潟駅の新之助米を販売しているおじ様が｢行列で東方神起さんが食べたの見て、準備させたんだけど、あっという間に売切れちゃって。3合300じゃ足りなかったなw｣遠征組が予想以上だと驚いてた。明日の昼ごろに、また入荷するみたい。メーカー様が寝ずに精米しているそうです。#東方神起 #明日コン

A man who sells rice “新之助” which the boys had on TV said “we prepared 300 bags of rice for today because of THSK, but they’ve gone so quickly. It wasn’t enough😂” he’ll restock it around noon tomorrow. people stay up polishing rice all night tonight.
