Pork-Wrapped Onigiri
This onigiri was friedish-rice wrapped in pork and laced with sweeeeet sauce. I heated this one as per the instructions - 25 seconds in a 500w microwave. It tasted a little sickly and my mouth watered unaccountably for hours afterwards. MSG in spades methinks. 158 yen from Family Mart

"The rice balls are filled with whole egg yolk Innovation mortar. Minced chicken seasoned with sweet and fit to let a good egg and compatibility."
