At each 7-ELEVEN store (excluding some areas and stores), "Small Five-Grains Rice Ball Meita Cream Cheese" and "Small Five-Grains Rice Ball Ooba Miso" are on sale. The prices are 130 yen and 120 yen (both including tax).

■ Meita cream cheese

Menta Cream Cheese is a Japanese-style rice ball that is a combination of cream cheese seasoned with bonito and bonito stock and spicy cod roe. Barley, glutinous black rice, glutinous brown rice, corn, sesame five-grain and white rice are cooked together to create a chewy, flavorful five-grain rice.


"Mentaiko" and "cream cheese", a combination of devils! The combination of the taste of mentaiko and the richness of cheese gives a mellow impression.


However, what is worrisome is the compatibility of the five-grain rice and the ingredients. Sure, "Menta Cream Cheese" is delicious, but it goes perfectly with the chewy rice ... well. I feel that the taste is disorganized and disjointed as a whole.


However, it is certain that you can enjoy the deliciousness of mentaiko and cheese. If you like menta cheese, you may want to try it once.

■ Ooba miso

Ooba miso is a rice ball made with mellow miso and perilla, which is a combination of Shinshu miso, Hatcho miso, Saikyo miso, egg yolk and Japanese-style miso.


The richness of miso matches the chewy five-grain rice. The perilla leaves bring together the overall taste and are finished in a well-balanced manner. The strength of the taste is also ◎. It is a "honor student" rice ball that provides a taste close to what you expected.



Two kinds of small five-grain rice balls that are small in size and are perfect for filling your stomach. Why don't you look for it when you stop by 7-ELEVEN?
