There are various types of rice balls; classic lunch meat paired with tamagoyaki is simple and delicious. It's really tasty when hot, and the size is small, making it suitable to buy an extra one.
The atmosphere in the store is interesting, there are many employees, and the food is served quickly.
The business is doing well, there are many people in line, but there are many staff members, so the food is served quickly. It is suitable for travelers who have time.
Okinawa's famous spam rice balls are almost everywhere, and this one is located next to the airport immigration area. It has a great business, with people constantly lining up, but there are also many staff, so the food is served quickly. Just make sure to manage your time if you have a flight.
There are many varieties to choose from based on personal preferences, and there are also various flavor combinations. I tried the classic spam paired with tamagoyaki; it was simple yet delicious, hot and very tasty. However, the size of the rice ball is not very big, so it might be a good idea to buy an extra one to take on the plane or to choose a combination that would be just right.
Reviewer on Dentsu: The airport bathroom next to the domestic terminal entrance is relatively clean.
This Okinawa rice ball specialty store is located on the first floor of Naha Airport's domestic terminal, with a wait time of at least 30 minutes; after ordering, you still have to wait for your food.
The rice used in the rice balls performs well, being firm and fragrant. As for the fillings:
Bitter melon tempura rice ball: Crispy on the outside and not bitter inside, with a hint of green onion and sweet egg as toppings; the layers are quite nice and worth a try.
Island tofu 700 yen, mentaiko rice ball 460 yen: Other flavors are relatively ordinary.
Most of the staff in the store are older, creating an interesting atmosphere, but the service is a bit slow. If you have plenty of time, it’s worth trying; if you're in a hurry, it’s not recommended. There are also branches in American Village and Kokusai Street, which also have long lines.
