Ever tried onigiri on steroids? Onigiri, those Japanese rice balls often eaten with sprinkled preserved plum or vegetable flakes, is tasty, but pretty stark. Sunny Blue, the Santa Monica establishment added fresh premium ingredients such as miso beef, curry chicken, shitake mushroom, and mayo shrimp, fresh mixes them into the onigiri on the spot and wraps them in a sheet of seaweed to make a "made to order" delectable snack for the customers. Each onigiri is about $3.50 and is a satisfying snack in itself. Two or three of them makes a meal, although you might be hard pressed to not want to try each of the different flavors.
Now, Sunny Blue has a second location in Culver City, on Washington Blvd. Try it. Have a ball.
