On March 2nd, Satozaki Tomoya and Igarashi Ryota appeared on the official Pacific League TV YouTube channel's "Mondays at Patele Supported by FamilyMart" and formed the "Omusubi Dream Batting Lineup."

◇ ◇ ◇

"Mondays at Patele" was started with the desire to create time for professional baseball and Pacific League fans to enjoy themselves even on Mondays when there are fewer games. This special edition was broadcast in conjunction with the "New Omusubi Japan" campaign, which will be held at approximately 16,400 FamilyMart stores nationwide from March 3rd (Tuesday) to 23rd (Monday), and Satozaki and Igarashi actually tasted the rice balls and formed an "Omusubi Dream Batting Lineup." The batting line-up for the two is as follows:

▼ Satozaki and Igarashi's "Omusubi Dream Batting Lineup"

1 Hand-rolled Tuna with Mayonnaise
2 Hand-rolled Sockeye Salmon
3 Hand-rolled Ma-Konbu
4. Large rice ball with mentaiko and salmon mayonnaise
5. Large rice ball with kelp and tuna mayonnaise
6. Straight rolls with mentaiko and mayonnaise
7. Large rice ball with mayonnaise, egg and minced meat
8 Hand-rolled spicy cod roe
9. Grilled salmon

Looking at the completed lineup once again, Igarashi commented confidently, "The elegant 'Temaki Tuna Mayonnaise' gets on base. 'Temaki Sockeye Salmon' can send the ball and is extremely good at hitting in the opposite direction. 'Temaki Ma Konbu' is stable, so we'll connect it, and here (in the cleanup) it's going to be BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! It's a good lineup." Satozaki also seemed satisfied with the lineup, saying, "It starts off light, has a weight (of mayonnaise), and finishes with a refreshing taste!"
