These are vaguely ball shaped, but they’re definitely essential to having a ball of a time at @nomiyasg. The ikura salmon rice ball (left, $5.90++) and the uni chutoro rice ball (right, $8.90++) are actually set up like an onigiri, and they’d easily put any other onigiri competition in the dust.⠀

Expertly steamed sushi rice seats the same sublime salmon that’s utilised in the sashimi platters. However in this package, the salmon is diced up for an easier eating experience. Topped with popping ikura that squirts its deliciously briny goodness straight onto your tastebuds, this is a classic that’s greater than the sum of its parts. It’s just salmon sashimi, salmon roe, rice and a seaweed strip. Yet, it is extremely exquisite, and the temptation to order a second one is quite overwhelming.⠀

As for the uni chutoro, it’s luscious, lavish luxury. Minced medium fatty tuna brings the rich, meaty, fatty deliciousness that supremely satisfies. The chutoro is topped with the sea urchin, which can only be described as an astonishingly thick, creamy and velvety briny butter. Yes, it’s ravishingly rich from beginning to end, and it’s an absolute baller.⠀

You might be thinking that these prices are pretty extortionate for onigiri, but believe me when I say that these Godzilla sized lovelies are gargantuan in flavour & gluttonous gratification too.
