Picked up a couple of rice balls to go. One was the butter-fried mentaiko rice ball ($18), and the other a salmon rice ball ($13). They were both fresh and the rice was tender but pleasantly chewy.The salmon one contained flaked red salmon inside a rice ball with salted preserved vegetable, which gave it a savoury tang, and the salmon was salty, going nicely with the rice.The mentaiko ball was a bit strange. It contained a cooked, slightly grey chunk of pollack roe still in it's original shape,

The mentaiko ball was a bit strange. It contained a cooked, slightly grey chunk of pollack roe still in it's original shape, rather than little roe eggs. It was rubbery and had the appearance of an old eraser, which was not really appealing. It's great that you can see it is the real thing, but I was just a bit put off even though I love mentaiko.
