I was blessed a few months ago to winning an Instagram contest Giraffe Goods was holding in the spring for photos of cherry blossoms. Because of my schedule I wasn’t able to claim my prize – a picnic for two with their Japanese grab and go deli food – until recently. I added some additional items that I purchased to my prize to fill out my picnic (as well as using my own blanket and plates and a few toys I had), and here is the delicious result of a picnic with Giraffe Goods.
If you are looking for items to put together a picnic on the beach, after a hike, or just at the park, I can’t highly recommend this enough as a unique selection. Giraffe Goods is located inside the international home goods store, Cargo. You can also find some of Giraffe Good’s products inside Sterling Coffee Roasters and Bar Norman.
Probably the most famous offering that Giraffe Goods offers are their sandwiches. They offer an egg salad sandwich, katsu sandwich, or get a combo of half of each.
For something larger, take a look at their bento boxes. These come in options such as Yakiniku Beef (pictured), Chicken Karaage, Chicken Salad, Vegetarian or Vegan, or Salmon (pictured)
For something smaller, they offer an assortment of Onigiri (rice balls) with various fillings, or baked goods from Oyatsupan like here, an Edamame Butter Roll, though you’ll also find An Pan, Curry Pan, and more. You’ll also find lots of little snacks from rice crackers to jelly candies to more too. Beverage wise you can find Japanese soda, coffee, and sake too.
If you dine in at Giraffe they offer some hot food items, and they also offer catering. How cute would some of these be at a party?

By the way, here was my winning photo!
Oh my goodness I want that egg salad sandwich RIGHT NOW! I love how thoughtful they are in making their food look great, in addition to tasting good. PS I love your Totoro toy! My kids LOVE that movie.
The egg salad is probably the most famous item at Giraffe!
What a nice looking picnic! That egg sandwich looks so good!!
Ooh, you’ve got a great picnic spread! I still haven’t visited Giraffe Foods. Hopefully they’ll have lots of tasty goodies for me too.
The bento and onigiri definitely have vegan versions
What an awesome little spread. That makes for a wonderful little picnic (and that cherry blossom shot is beautiful!)
