I picked up the 7-Eleven Egg Fried Rice Onigiri as a quick snack and was pleasantly surprised by how much flavor it packed into such a simple product. Unlike a standard rice ball, this one uses fried rice, giving it a richer taste and a more satisfying texture. The rice was well seasoned without being overly salty, allowing the egg flavor to come through naturally. SImple, but satisfying. I was delighted that I got it with a 30 yen discount! I just wrote the other day how I rarely get a discount on convenience store foods during the day, but this is the second time in a week! I am on a roll.

Although the 7-Eleven Egg Fried Rice Onigiri is convenient and reasonably priced, it may not leave a lasting impression on customers looking for a more exciting meal. The biggest drawback is that the flavor is fairly mild. While the egg, pork, green onion and seasoning are pleasant, they lack the stronger savory notes often associated with freshly cooked restaurant-style fried rice. As a result, some people may find the taste somewhat plain after the first few bites. Also, it is not a particularly large onigiri. If you are hungry, one of these would not fill you. It's really best suited as a quick snack. Overall, I was happy. I have bought it before, and I will buy it again in the future.
