This hefty rice ball contains thick-cut fried luncheon meat, a gigantic tower stack of soft fluffy eggs mixed with a special house stock, and a touch of asa seaweed for a slight briny flavour. Asa seaweed is commonly found in Okinawa and is said to be nutritious, with benefits for the immune system. The egg was thick and juicy, while the luncheon meat was crispy from being deep-fried though slightly overcooked, making the crisp a bit hard. Despite that, it still retained its savoruy flavour. I appreciated the thin layer of rice, allowing the ingredients to speak volume, but the rice didn’t stick well to the large sheet of seaweed, causing it to fall apart and make a mess while eating.

The onigiri was so large that I had to break it apart or take small bites since my mouth wasn’t big enough to handle it in one go but it was totally tastisfying! Each bite was a burst of juicy egg, sea-like flavour from the asa seaweed, and delicious pork that filled my mouth with pleasure.
