The Southernmost Onigiri?

Today I tried (for the second time) the Crab Onigiri from Hikari - one of the better Japanese restaurants offering sushi in Dunedin (the New Zealand version). The sign offering a job in katakana also offered hope, given the pretty awful stuff being passed off as Japanese food in most other places.


The crab onigiri was pretty good - it consisted of leg meat and a bit too much mayonnaise. NZ$3.50

This one was actually wrapped in an onigiri wrapper and would actually be familiar to someone from Japan or someone like me who lived in Japan. I only add this because of the grapefruit-sized monstrosities being sold as onigiri in a few other places in Dunedin claiming to sell Japanese food.
