Onigiri Gorichan@Osaka Umeda ★★★

Mind-Blowing Rice Ball. Best rice ball ever. The ones with marinated egg yolk are must-try. It’s heaven. Filling was everywhere inside the rice ball, not just the dead center. Once you start eating the rice ball, you cannot stop, because it's so tasty. Don't finish all the rice though, because you will want to save some to make chazuke soup with their complimentary soup. 400-1,000 yen each. Walk-in available. [Developing Story]
