First, I will explain why I like rice balls. I have liked rice balls since I was a young child. It’s small and easy to eat, but because it’s rice, it keeps me feeling full, so it’s very good. Also, if it is wrapped in wrap or seaweed, I’m glad to eat it with my hands clean.

Next, I think about rice balls ingredients. I also like rice balls with ingredients gathered in the center, such as rice balls sold at convenience stores, but I prefer it with ingredients mixed throughout.The reason is that no matter what part I eat, it tastes good and delicious.

As for the ingredients, I like salt the most. The appeal of salted rice balls is that they suit most other dishes. When it comes to combining rice balls and miso soup, which are common in Japanese food, I think it is the best match. Even if I eat only rice balls, I think it is a good point that I can adjust the taste by sprinkling a lot of salt.

Finally, about the timing of eating rice balls. I feel it most delicious when I eat while studying at midnight. It’s because I’m hungry, but it’s also because I feel guilty.

Please try eating salted rice balls during that time!
