Lunch at Musubi Cafe Iyasume. So delicious. 😋
Visiting an ABC Store seeking Spam Musubi. Mission accomplished, Spam and Egg Musubi snack acquired and consumed. Yum!
Surprised to see AP run a story about onigiri, the #Japan inspiration behind #Hawaii’s famous #musubi

The word “onigiri” (OH-knee-GEEH-reeh) just became part of the Oxford English Dictionary this year. The humble sticky-rice ball — a mainstay of Japanese food — has entered the global lexicon. Key to onigiri is the stickiness of the rice. The rice balls are stuffed with a variety of fillings. Traditional favorites include salted plum or hot, spicy roe. The ball is then typically wrapped in seaweed. One Japanese proponent of onigiri calls it fast food, slow food and soul food. And mobile too. Early versions of onigiri are believed to have been consumed as far back as the times of “The Tale of Genji” in the 11th century.
#Hawaii-style #musubi replacing onigiri in #Japan!
“The success of a Japanese man who took an "onigiri" rice ball sandwich known for years as the soul food of Okinawa and turned it into a booming franchise began when his wife cooked the pork and fried egg snack for him one morning at home.”

There were in-flight snacks!
My daughter made up a tasty batch of SPAM #musubi for the trip to Michigan yesterday.
The views as we cruised along in the mighty Skylane were pretty nice too. #PureMichigan #wingwednesday #gaflying #pilotlife #cessna182
