Pork & Egg Onigiri ChouChou

Flow of the course

About this spot

A specialty shop dedicated to Okinawa's soul food, 'pork & egg onigiri,' where Spam pork and thick-rolled egg are sandwiched in rice. Each onigiri is made to order with care—the nori is crispy, while the rice and egg are perfectly warm. Beyond the classic pork & egg, distinctive menu variations combine Okinawan oily miso, fried shrimp, and other toppings, making it fun to decide which to choose. This popular shop has a line from morning, but service moves quickly as onigiri are made continuously. Starting the Makishi market district food tour with one of these onigiri is the Okinawan way.

Tips

Even with a line, onigiri are made in order, so wait times are usually shorter than expected. Sauce and toppings can drip, so wet wipes are helpful. Takeaway is available, and enjoying it while walking through the market district is a perfect way to explore.

Best time to visit

Approximately 45 minutes required. Come early before the line gets long to enjoy freshly made onigiri.
