☆Kitchen J☆ take away

Ordered two items for take away: Green tea lychee soda and the warabi mochi with black honey.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Green tea lychee soda
The drink was surprisingly nice because the bitterness of the green tea powder toned down the sweetness of the lychee syrup and the soda fizz jazzed up the drink.
Overall I really liked it, but if there was less lychee syrup then it would have tasted nicer.

Warabi mochi with black honey:
The mochi was nice and soft, however the outside was slightly dehydrated that the powder fell off.
The black honey was in a separate little dish, so it was optional and you can control how sweet it is.
The black honey was nice and strong but not too cloyingly sweet.

Tea soda:
After trying the green tea lychee soda, I found the fruit syrup too sweet, so this time I tried the plain Tea Soda.
The tea soda tasted better than the green tea because it was made with red tea which tastes strong with some sharp bitterness to it.
There was some syrup in this drink which had sunk to the bottom and the sweetness was much more pleasant compared to the Lychee green tea soda, but I would still like to try plain green tea soda next time.

The best and only musubi I have tried so far

I have never been keen on Musubis because I used to think they taste bland as it is mostly made of rice.

In Hawaii they have spam musubi.

I decided to try this place when I found out they had Pizza flavoured musubi and the soybean chicken meatball soup.
I really wanted to try the pizza musubi because I thought it would be fun having Risotto in musubi form.

After taking the effort walking to Brim, there was no Pizza flavour that day, so I got the Mentaiko musubi, Scallop musubi, XO sauce musubi, Yukuri (akajiso – purple perilla) musubi, wasabi octopus musubi and the soup.

I ate the XO Sauce musubi and the Wasabi musubi last because it had the strongest flavour.
I started on the Yukuri first because it was just plain rice with akajiso herbs.

Yukuri (akajiso – purple perilla) musubi:
I was surprised the rice was flavoured and there was akajiso pieces evenly distributed within the rice.
This was the first time I could taste the purple perilla because the taste of the rice did not overpower the perilla.

Mentaiko musubi:
Again it was plain rice with a piece of mentaiko in the middle.
The rice tasted nice with or without the mentaiko, and it was soft and moist.
When I got to the mentaiko, it was hard and dense, but it had a nice salty tone to enhance the rice. ★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
XO Sauce musubi:
The rice was evenly mixed with XO sauce, there were pieces of dried scallops and prawns.
The texture of the rice was also soft and moist.

Wasabi octopus musubi:
This was nice too, but it tasted the same as a giant gunkan/Temaki made with Wasabi and octopus.

Scallop in vinegar musubi:
The label saids "trabeculae" which is an interesting translation, but I think they mean scallop. There was generous pieces of small scallops in it, and the taste was similar to the XO Sauce musubi. ★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Soybean, chicken meatball Soup:
I loved the soup and could not get enough of it.
On the menu it is called Collagen soup.
Although it claims to have collagen, I did not expect the soup to have collagen in it.
It was did not taste of soymilk even though it contained soymilk.
The taste of the soup was similar to chicken in cream sauce but in liquid form.
There was generous pieces of spinach and chicken meatballs. ★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Brown sugar warabi:
I really liked this because it is different from mochi, because it is made from starch and less chewy.
However the brown sugar powder was slightly too sweet.
