🍋s!!! I chanced upon this promising onigiri place with 4.6 stars on Google located in Suzuka, Mie.
It is by far the best onigiri I had, each bite of rice accompanied by fillings. I ordered the set meal (comes with pork soup, 2 onigiris of your choice, and a tamago side dish at about 1000 yen). For my onigiri flavours, I had the meat with egg yolk, and salmon mentaiko mayonnaise. I loved both! It’s a little pricey compared to the typical onigiris found in convenience stores but it’s sooo much more superior in every way.
We also ordered the nama chocolate truffle which was refreshing! It was filled with frozen heavy cream, coated with a layer of chocolate and chocolate powder.
You can imagine how good it was because I was having an ongoing argument with my partner throughout the meal and each bite made us feel better. 😂
Also, it’s a short drive away from Suzuka Circuit for F1 or go-karting lovers!
