Nikumaki Onigiri

"Nikumaki Onigiri" from Miyazaki Prefecture is so popular that people get in a long line to buy even in Tokyo. This is an onigiri wrapped with a marinated slice of pork, and then broiled. This is a very tasty onigiri with the marinated pork seasoned with a secret sweet and salty sauce. It looks just like a chunk of meat, but it is actually an onigiri made in great harmony with flavored pork wrapping the rice. It was originally a meal cooked for staff at an izakaya, but it has become very popular within Miyazaki Prefecture and even advanced to Tokyo. Nikumaki onigiri is also served as an hors d'oeuvre at hotels in Miyazaki Prefecture. This is a highly completed one-dish meal.
