Best thing I found at a convenience store in Japan last month was this “TKG Onigiri” at Air Lawson in Haneda Airport. You see, TKG stand for “tamago kake gohan”, which is a simple dish made by cracking a raw egg over a steaming hot bowl of rice and adding a little soy sauce. Mix and eat. Just like that.

Here, the fine folks at Lawson, Japan’s largest convini chain, tried to recreate said dish in the form of a rice ball. And they did a pretty dam good job of it too, even down to the keeping the texture of the raw egg! Or should we say “egg topping” as the package does? Consider me impressed.
