[Marunouchi] BEST Place to Eat Rice Balls in Nagoya! "Tsubaki Onigiri Stand"
Table of Contents
Reasonable Lunch Set
For office workers, we recommend the limited lunch set from 10:00 to 14:00. 2 rice balls of your choice and "plenty of vegetable pork miso soup" for 580 yen! Tonjiru can also be purchased separately (280 yen).
The to-go bag is also very nice! Nobody can imagine that there is pork soup in here. In addition, you can put smoothies and shiratama zenzai in this to-go bag.
Now, we will pick up the recommended menu from here and introduce it.
Popularity No. 1 "Mentai Cream Cheese"
Among the many onigiri, the most popular one is Mentai (pollack roe) Cream Cheese. A combination of spicy mentaiko and cream cheese, which is characterized by moderate sourness and creaminess.
What does it taste like at first? I couldn't imagine it, but this is delicious! No wonder it is especially popular with women. I really liked it too.
"Salmon onigiri" filled with overflowing salmon
A rice ball made with the best salmon caught in Hokkaido. To the owner, one hand is dangerous when eating salmon onigiri. As he said, it is filled with so much salmon that it seems like it will overflow.
And this salmon is very juicy. The saltiness is just right.
Plain but not plain at all! "Goma konbu"
When you hear the word “Goma konbu (sesame and kelp)”, it seems like a simple onigiri. BUT, the "Goma konbu" here is a bit different.
They use high-quality kelp from Hokkaido. Glossy kombu seaweed and fragrant toasted sesame are the best. There was also a plenty of kelp in it.
It's so delicious that I can't help but smile. It seems that I can eat as many as I can. In fact, I ate 4 onigiris that day.
Awesome onigiri power!
Everyone's favorite "Tuna mayonnaise"
“Tuna mayonnaise” has a high approval rate among foreigners and children of all ages. Tuna mayonnaise may have a rich flavor, but it has a refreshing and mild taste, making it easy for anyone to eat.
And the tuna mayonnaise that is packed tightly feels luxurious!
I envy those who work in the Marunouchi office district, where you can enjoy such delicious rice balls.
There are plenty of menus other than onigiris!
Besides rice balls, you can also enjoy smoothies and shiratama zenzai (mochi dumplings in sweet soup)! No water or ice is used in the smoothie, so it's full of nutrients.
They are open from 7:30 in the morning, so have a smoothie before going to work. You can buy the lunch set at noon.
Since its opening, "Tsubaki Onigiri Stand" has quickly become a popular place. Not only the sophisticated design, but also the thorough commitment to rice balls is real!
Be sure to try the onigiri that the owner makes with love.
