One of the fondest memories I have in Tokyo, was eating at a small little shop that served only onigiri and a bowl of miso soup. I felt blissful while I sat there with the other women as we quietly ate our balls of rice and drank our miso soup.Much to my pleasure, I found something similar in Hong Kong!Located in Tin Hau, behind a small side street, is a very small shop.

Much to my pleasure, I found something similar in Hong Kong!
Located in Tin Hau, behind a small side street, is a very small shop. It has very limited seating and not comfortable at all. I guess they are more geared for take away.
The menu is in English and Chinese. Prices are not expensive. There is no 10% service charge. You can choose two onigiri and upgrade with a drink, side of miso soup. They also offer poke.
They also have a lunch menu when I was there but it didn't look interesting to me so I chose the two rice balls and added a miso soup for $10.
As each onigiri is made to order, I did wait a good 10 minutes for it. But what a treat! I chose two different onigiri: mentaiko ($24) and eel ($26). They were a rather large size and wrapped just like how they are from the shop I had in Japan. The rice was warm and soft with a slight bit of seasoning.
There was a lot of mentaiko inside. Enough for me to be happy.
The eel had a good amount as well.
The miso soup was on the sweet side and was a vegetable based.
A good filling meal for me. It slightly reminded me of the small shop I had in Tokyo that was much like this one. A fast food style but very comforting meal. The onigiri was decent. The rice was delicious and there was enough stuffing to make it tasteful. Price not expensive. I'll be back.
