“I've always been surprised that people recommend the onigiri at Omusubi Gonbei so often. I've gone there a few times but because they wrap the onigiri with the seaweed, it gets very soggy and messy.”

AI-generated summary
Cheap onigiri made fresh inside the Katagiri market. People rate the plain rice above everything else and there's a lot of fillings to pick from, with mentaiko and the seasonal marinated egg named most. The seaweed is wrapped on ahead, so it goes soft, and a few regulars think the fillings have gotten smaller.

“I do feel like they're starting to skimp on the filling. My eel onigiri barely had any eel in it. The chicken karaage cups they sell are still delicious though.”
