Nowadays, the variety of convenience store rice balls is increasing more and more. The other day, I ate and compared the "omelet rice balls" from three convenience stores , but in addition to this, unique rice balls are glancing at me from the shelves.

So, I will introduce the 6 "unusual rice balls" that I found at the convenience store in the order of deliciousness! If you haven't eaten yet, give it a try.


1, Lawson "Seasoned seaweed hand-rolled egg-style rice" (120 yen, tax included, same below)


Rice balls mixed with soy sauce and wrapped in egg yolk sauce to make rice balls with egg. It is wrapped in seasoned seaweed.



This is insanely complete! Drop the egg on the hot rice and add soy sauce. When you sprinkle the nori seaweed, mix it well, and squeeze it into your mouth ... that taste is exactly reproduced! The deliciousness of the egg-cooked rice itself is salty, mellow and rich.

2, FamilyMart "whole half-boiled egg rice ball" (230 yen)


A whole boiled egg is wrapped in bonito dashi, shiitake mushrooms, and kelp-flavored cooked rice. It's thick and heavy!




The rice is a sweet seasoning similar to Tori Gome Onigiri. When you bite into the boiled egg, the white meat is fluffy and the half-boiled yolk overflows. The umami of the dashi and the richness of the egg match too much! It's delicious that you keep eating even though you're full.

3, FamilyMart "Grilled Meita Cheese Doria Rice Ball" (130 yen)


"Doria-style rice balls" made by topping rice with soy sauce butter flavored with menta mayo sauce and cheese and roasting it. Please warm it in the microwave before eating.



The moment you cheek, the fragrant scent of charred cheese that melts in your mouth spreads throughout your mouth, and you will be extremely happy. The salty cod roe painted in the center mixes with the mellow richness of the cheese and is delicious! It's not too heavy, and it's just right to fill your stomach.

4, 7-ELEVEN "Hand-rolled rice ball Torotto egg bacon and egg" (130 yen)


Rice balls wrapped in grilled bacon and egg soboro and wrapped in seaweed. The idea of adding "bacon and egg" instead of boiled egg or egg-cooked rice and the unexpectedness that it goes well with rice are highly evaluated.


It tastes like this when you eat bacon and egg and white rice together. Well done! The egg is a little half-boiled and delicious. Recommended for breakfast.

5, Lawson "Grilled Cheese Curry Rice Ball" (145 yen)


Onigiri with the image of "yaki curry". Spicy curry pilaf-style rice topped with curry sauce and cheese with minced meat and onions, baked in the oven.



A slightly spicy curry is entwined with the crisp curry pilaf. When heated in the microwave, the cheese melts, making it as delicious as eating freshly baked curry.

6, 7-ELEVEN "Hand-rolled rice ball beef roasted green chili miso" (140 yen)


Onigiri made by wrapping grilled beef mixed with salt sauce with miso fried green pepper. The package has the words "Be careful of spiciness".


Spicy green pepper, sweet and spicy miso, and the umami of meat that gradually spreads. Since the ingredients are thick, they often get entangled with rice. A dish that makes you addicted to the spiciness that comes after it. It's not that spicy, so if you don't like spicy food, you can eat it deliciously.

These are the 6 unique rice balls I found at convenience stores! If there is something that you were curious about but couldn't get your hands on, please give it a try.
