Pork-egg rice ball shop, Makishi
×Pork and Egg Rice Ball
Why you must eat itGrilled pork luncheon meat and a sweet omelette are pressed into a rice ball and wrapped in nori. Palm-sized, it eats one-handed on the move. The salt of the pork, the sweet of the egg and the warmth of the rice come together in a bite. Variants tuck in bitter-melon tempura or oil miso. Many shops open early, a good first bite.
Pork luncheon meat spread through postwar Okinawa via the US military and became essential at home and in champuru. The rice-ball form has spread in recent years, and specialist shops are popular with visitors. There are shops around the Makishi market. Prices and hours are a guide, so check on site.
