The rice served here is not your average grain of rice. It has been allowed to germinate to improve the taste and texture. Great little brunch spot as they open early in little Eaton Square

The rice really is premium quality just like they say! Tucked away in the back of Eaton Square. Some plaza seating outside to eat and chill.

Two Thumbs Up: Freshly made rice balls, the Japanese equivalent of eating a burger, I supposed. Got carb (GABA premium rice), protein (salmon in this case), wrapped into a triangle. Great finger snack for in between meals. Nice flavor at $2-2.50 @ and good for anytime..

The gaba-infused rice definitely makes a difference. By far the best tasting rice in an onigiri. The spam musubi is completely unique too. It's slightly sweet, has Japanese mayo and the lettuce adds a refreshingly crunch

Since I started working right above them, I've been buying lunch almost every day that I can from them. You can never go wrong with their spicy ahi poke bowl. The best spicy ahi poke I've had in my life. Not to mention the quality of their rice is just out of this world. Finely milled on the location, and on the day of. 10/10, check em out when you can.

The best musubi in town. The rice they use is really really good. Can't find any other places using better rice than them.

This little shop is right near the entrance to Eaton Square. Most of their rice balls run from $2 to $2.50 depending on the filing. This time I tried three, the brown rice salmon, the shiso konbu, and the mentaiko (spicy roe). The rice balls aren't big but the quality of rice is outstanding. There are plenty of filling in the rice (see photo). I bought these to go so I could eat them on the plane back to the mainland. Delicious!

The best musubi on the island hands down!! Tucked into the little alley known as Eaton Square, I stumbled in here one day while shopping for groceries nearby. What caught my attention was the small shop atmosphere, friendliness of the cashier and overall variety of musubi available. The GABA rice they use adds a distinct texture and heartiness to each food item. And prices are good! I typically go for the Mentai Mayo , Hokkaido Salmon with Brown Rice, and the Spicy Ahi or Shoyu Poke Bowl.

The musubi here is so good. It is thanks to the high quality gaba rice. I work in the building once a week and I come here every morning before work. The best musubi in my opinion is the mentai mayo.

Musubi made with real Japan rice, like Manabu. Great quality and presentation. You can even purchase the uncooked rice to take home and prepare on your own. Expect to pay about $2-$3 per musubi. They validate parking at Eaton Square.
