We strive two of the unbelievable new choices from Household Mart.
Japanese comfort retailer meals has a fame for being surprisingly good, however now Household Mart is releasing a lineup that’s designed to be dangerous, within the sense that they’re so decadent it’s fallacious for them to exist.
Referred to as the “Haitoku no Konbini Meshi” (“Immoral Comfort Retailer Meals“), the brand new vary consists of 5 meals however out of all of them, one particularly is attracting consideration.
▼ The Complete Boiled Egg Rice Ball.
It actually makes an impression visually, with its boiled egg centre, however the bizarre factor about it’s it’s not that uncommon within the grand scheme of issues, as Japanese rice ball specialist chain Gonbei is definitely identified for promoting boiled egg rice balls.
▼ So, what makes this specific rice ball immoral?
Effectively, for starters, it’s monumental, being greater than a fist, which makes it barely bigger than the rice balls at Gonbei.
The cross-section reveals that sure, there’s a complete egg stuffed in right here, and it sits on a skinny layer of mayonnaise for additional flavour.
Upon taking a chew, this mayonnaise takes centre stage, because it comprises a wealthy garlic paste imbued with pork again fats, which immediately hits the style buds with flavour. The mild softness of the egg helps to melt the wealthy garlicky notes earlier than mellowing out even additional with the seaweed-wrapped seasoned rice, combining to create bagfuls of umami deliciousness.
The wealthy and fatty flavour of the mayonnaise actually suggestions this rice ball over to the immoral aspect of the culinary world, so we had been eager to learn the way the Gonbei rice ball would evaluate.
At 280 yen (US$1.89), this rice ball is barely cheaper than the Household Mart model, which is priced at 298 yen, and it comes wrapped in loose-fitting cling movie which supplies it a home made look.
▼ As for dimension, it’s a contact smaller than the Household Mart rice ball, however nonetheless a beneficiant portion.
Chopping it in half reveals that this egg seems to be extra seasoned and fewer hard-boiled, making it an excellent choice for lovers of softer eggs. That is probably a key advantage of the smaller specialty chain, as it will probably produce substances that haven’t been cooked inside an inch of their lives, not like Household Mart, which has a a lot bigger distribution and subsequently extra stringent considerations in relation to meals security.
▼ As for the flavour? Effectively, it’s nonetheless mighty scrumptious.
As this rice ball doesn’t include any mayonnaise, its nice flavour is a testomony to the ability and high-quality substances in its making. The rice was completely cooked and nonetheless barely heat, whereas the boiled egg was flavoursome, making a harmonious mix on the palate.
▼ Household Mart’s Boiled Egg Rice Ball (prime), Gonbei’s Boiled Egg Rice Ball (under).
They’re each scrumptious rice balls, however in the event you’re searching for a rice ball that doesn’t depend on mayonnaise to supply the flavour, then Gonbei is certainly value your yen. However then once more, in the event you’re searching for one thing that’s handy, and let’s face it, extra immoral, then Household Mart is the way in which to go!
