Onigiri Marutoyo — Restaurant in Tokyo

This is a famous riceroll (onigiri) stall. But the service was terrible and especially not friendly to tourists.

When the first time we came to this stall on a weekend, 12 pm, it was sold out.

The second time when we visit again, we were asked to queue up. After queue up for 45 minutes thrn it was our turn to take the onigirin. When we want to make payment, the owner asked for our queue number.

Egg - I’m not sure the exact name but there is an onigiri with a soft boiled egg in the middle. WOW. The egg yolk was so bright orange and so jammy. It tasted amazing.

Shrimp tempura - I love the way they shape this, the tempura is still crunchy and delicious.

Salmon - moist, tasty, plenty of salmon, this is a...
