About Nikumaki Onigiri (Rice balls wrapped in pork)

Nikumaki Onigiri are made by wrapping rice in thin slices of pork leg marinated in a soy-based sauce, then roasting them until golden in the oven. The combination of freshly cooked rice and pork coated in a sweet-and-savory signature sauce is delicious.
They are said to have originated as a staff meal at a restaurant. They became a popular local specialty in Miyazaki Prefecture, and their popularity has since spread nationwide.
Though they look like solid chunks of pork, inside is refreshingly simple rice—a delightful balance of flavors.
