Everyone is very familiar with Japanese ramen and sushi, but the real soul food of the Japanese is rice balls. At the end of the program, we will take you to a 70-year-old restaurant that specializes in making rice balls in Tokyo, Japan. This restaurant in Tokyo is a restaurant run by Yamaguchi. It was founded by his grandmother in 1954 and named after his grandfather. It is said to be the oldest rice ball restaurant in Tokyo. Yamaguchi said that he grew up eating rice balls made by his grandmother. The taste of his family's rice balls has always retained the traditional flavor. The cooking style of rice balls can be traced back to the early 11th century. To make rice balls, you need to use high-density Japanese rice. Then wrap it in seaweed. A delicious rice ball is ready. One or two rice balls are enough for a meal. Rice balls can be round, square, animal-shaped, star-shaped, but Yamaguchi's standard rice ball is triangular. It only takes 30 seconds to make a rice ball. The most expensive rice ball costs 770 yen, about 4.9 US dollars, with salmon roe. The cheapest is about 2 US dollars, including a small bowl of miso soup. In Japan, rice balls are called fast food, slow food, and soul food. Fast food is because rice balls can be found everywhere. You can buy it at convenience stores. But its ingredients come from the ocean and the mountains, and it reflects the emphasis on agricultural ecology and slow foodism. Rice balls are also a favorite food of relatives and friends, so they are regarded as soul food. Now rice balls have become a favorite food for all races in the world. It's very use your hands. You know, I like that. You know, a lot of Japanese would use chopsticks. This one felt closer to eating a hamburger. Li Qingyi, a reporter for Xintangren.
