Omiyage to a relative

I'm living in Japan right now. I'm a Japanese American. I recently, I have contacted some distant relatives (my grandma's cousin and his niece). We've only talked on the phone, but we live relatively close to each other, so we are planning to meet up. When I visit them, what kind of お土産should I bring? We both live in Hiroshima, so I guess something from Hiroshima isn't really good, and I don't have anything with me now from the US...so what would be appropriate?? :?: :?:
