90% of Sekihan Onigiri is its Appearance (There is a Twist at the End)

[561st Onigiri Sakaeya (Michi-no-Eki Angyo) Sekihan??]

I apologize for using a title that sounds like something you've heard somewhere before...

Actually, JunkoDOHI, whom I follow and who is a fellow study partner in our community, wrote a wonderful note article, so I borrowed it from there!

That article is...

An analysis of how a total of 157 books with similar titles, such as "90% of People is Appearance" and "90% of People is How They Speak," were published by year and their trends.

It seems to reveal the inner workings of the publishing industry, which has to produce hit works, so it's quite educational and seems like it could be a reference for how to title the notes you all write as well.

(It's interesting, so please read it once)

I need to follow this "90% series" so that my notes can be read by many people too (lol)

So, here is a sekihan onigiri that emphasizes appearance!

Michi-no-Eki Kawaguchi Angyo.
It is the first or second closest roadside station to the city center.

They also sell sweets and rice balls from local Japanese confectionery shops here.

A delicious-looking sekihan rice ball!
It seems to be made by a Japanese confectionery shop in Saitama City called Sakaeya.

Since it's from a Japanese confectionery shop, it looks delicious with plenty of adzuki beans.

After all, when it comes to rice balls, appearance is everything, right?

Digging in!

Huh?

What!

A steamed bun inside...

Looking at the cross-section, it's packed with smooth red bean paste!

It's a rice ball with a steamed bun as the unexpected filling (lol)

This joke-like red bean rice ball.
Actually, it's a super rare local sweet from Saitama called an "Iga Manju."

Come to think of it, that's the thing I found in Hanyu in the past!

So, since it looks like a red bean rice ball this time too, it's barely acceptable (lol)

Even if it looks 90% like a red bean rice ball, sometimes the inside is a steamed bun.

You have to be careful about making assumptions.

Thank you for the meal!
