A rice ball wrapped in marinated pork belly, roasted until the outside caramelises, and wrapped again in a lettuce leaf. It was devised in 1994 as a staff meal at a shop in central Miyazaki City and put on the menu when customers noticed what the kitchen was eating.

It spread across Kyushu and then nationally as a festival and convenience food, and it is one of the more successful B-grade inventions of the last thirty years. Eaten properly it is messy: the pork renders into the rice, the marinade runs, and the lettuce is there to hold it and to cut the fat. Nikumaki Honpo on Chuo-dori still makes the original, and shops across the city sell versions.

인사이더 가이드

**It is messy and meant to be.** The marinade runs and the pork renders into the rice. The lettuce is a wrapper, not a garnish. **It started as a staff meal.** 1994, in the kitchen, and it went on the menu because customers asked what the cooks were eating. **Shops keep late hours.** This is drinking-district food in Miyazaki City and several specialists are open when the restaurants have closed. **One is a snack.** Rich enough that two is a meal. Order accordingly at the end of an evening. **It is thirty years old, not traditional.** Miyazaki is honest about this. It is a recent invention that happened to be a good one.
