What?! No spam musubi?

http://www.japantoday.com/category/food/view/what-do-japanese-people-put-in-their-rice-balls

Musubi (or onigiri as it's more popularly known) was a staple for me growing up. My favorite fillings were diced takuan or nori paste. I stayed away from the umeboshi ones which were a favorite for many people. I also liked the ones that were sprinkled with furikake. And spam musubi, which was brick-shaped rather than triangular, was of course a huge favorite as well (but that was in Hawaii, not Japan).

Soothe the pain of spending several hundred dollars on a new set of tires. :sweat:

Thanks, bud. Yeah this place is pretty much the only yakitori place I go to anymore. The main store in the city of Gardena is better but this location was only a mile away from the tire shop I went to replace my tires.

Hit the wall though. After finishing the potatoes I couldn't finish the sandwich so I took the other half home for what'll probably be my only other meal of the day.
