Let’s make a magazine about rice ball fillings

I eat rice balls about once a week now. When I went to junior high and high school, I ate them every weekday. Now, I would rather buy them from a convenience store than make them myself. Especially 7-Eleven’s rice balls have very dry seaweed, so you can taste the flavor of the seaweed.

My favorite rice ball I have ever eaten is the one with cheese and yukari. When I was a high school student, my mother would sometimes make the rice ball and put it in my lunch box. I sometimes miss those rice balls. But now I live alone, away from my mother, so I make it myself. My rice balls are delicious enough when cold, but when freshly made, the cheese is slightly melted and tastes even better. Yukari and cheese are a great combination.

Rice balls with Yukari and cheese are not sold in stores. But the materials to make them can be easily bought at the store. So, I encourage everyone to try making it yourselves.
