The canonical version and where to order it.
Japanese rice balls pressed warm around fillings like miso beef and curry, wrapped in nori and made to order at Santa Monica's Main Street counter.
Omusubi are Japan's everyday rice balls, and Sunny Blue brought the made-to-order version to Main Street in Santa Monica, pressing each one warm around fillings from miso beef to vegetarian miso mushroom rather than selling them cold from a case. The tiny counter turned a convenience-store staple into a beach-town lunch.
