7-Eleven’s Monster Ball Onigiri: Nintendo Life Review
Of course, we have to start with the ball that started it all…
monster Ball
In this red and white original, roast pork, garlicWhen mayonnaise.
Of the three bowls, this one was the hardest to eat…the sausage slab slipped off the rice and had to be eaten separately
As you can see in the picture, the Poké Ball design consists only of the outer plastic wrapping. The ball-shaped rice balls underneath are loosely similar to the ones we used when we first caught Caterpie and Weedle. Still, the color of the pork and the black band of nori evoke images of monster balls.
Before I even took a bite, I wondered where this pork came from. With the release of Scarlet and Violet, perhaps this sausage was made from Lechonku. I neglected to do this.
Of the three balls, this one was the hardest to eat. Shortly after taking one bite, a slab of sausage slid off the rice and I was forced to eat it separately like an unfinished lechon fried rice dish. That said, the lechonku slices were very tasty, albeit a bit salty, despite being a rice ball you can buy at a convenience store for only 172 yen.a strip of seaweed, or Me tooand the rice itself which we enjoyed as it was so fresh.
But I certainly don’t like Japanese mayonnaise, so the little hunk in the middle turned the whole package off. I was disappointed by
Average: 5/10
great ball
Blue and Red Otama is a popular Japanese dish Omelette rice Compress into a compact rice/poke ball shape.
The omelet itself doesn’t have that fluffy buttery feel, but instead of the eggs, it has a little spiciness of rice.
omurice Omelette rice – The fried rice is usually wrapped in a thin omelet before being topped with ketchup. In this form, a slightly thicker layer of omelet is placed on top of the rice ball, and instead of being drizzled with ketchup, the chef mixed the ketchup into the rice itself. Mushroom and chicken blend It awaits hungry Pokémon fans and Japanese businessmen who want to add a little spice to their convenience store lunches.
Just like Pokéballs, I wondered which Pokemon the eggs came from. Was it Togepi? Or a chicken-like Pokémon like Torch? who can say But what we can say is that the mushroom inside definitely reminded me of Amoonguss…or maybe it was Sinotch.
Digression. I enjoyed this rice ball more than the first because the omelet on top was left intact. Every rice ball Arceus intended was a much more enjoyable experience to eat with your hands. The omelet itself lacked the fluffy buttery feel and was bland in both taste and texture, but the rice had a hint of spice that complemented the egg – no, it didn’t exactly taste like ketchup. did.
But the mixture of Amoonguss and Torchic combined makes for a strange mushy mixture that we couldn’t do without. In fact, I didn’t know if Torchic existed. Admittedly, we’re not big fans of mushrooms.
Not great, but good: 7/10
ultra ball
Much like the actual game, Ultra Ball captured our taste buds the easiest. pork (Grampig?), medium-boiled egg (happy?), and Soy sauce It doesn’t look like anything special compared to the other two, but it all adds up to a much tastier rice ball.
If you squint, the middle boiled egg half could represent the Ultra Ball’s release button, or the Pokémon itself. . Other than this, it has little to do with packaging thematically and looks the least appetizing of the three we argue.
Sometimes simplicity wins. The egg half in the center was well cooked, not dry or runny, but I did sprinkle a pinch of salt on it. Seaweed has a slightly crunchy texture and a fragrant taste. But what caught our taste buds critically was the rice itself, mixed with chunks of soy sauce and grumpig.
In fact, it wasn’t too far from our personal favorite, the regular old grilled rice ball.
Ultra Ball, for sure: 9/10
