There are four types of Pork Tamago rice balls. You must choose one from these.

[823 Musubi] Roadside Station Kyoda (Nago) Pork Tamago

There were four options.

Plain
Mayonnaise
Mustard Mayonnaise
Abura Miso

However, I can only choose one of these.

This is a tough decision.
I just can't decide on one!

The drive continues toward the blue sea and white sandy beach.
Even just catching a glimpse of the ocean gets me excited.

Roadside Station Kyoda in Nago.

With a newly built parking lot and road information terminal, it has become a key transportation hub for heading north.

This is the older side of the roadside station.
They sell agricultural products and souvenirs, and the food court is also well-stocked.

When you think of Okinawa, you have to think of Pork Tamago rice balls!
You absolutely have to eat this.

Wait, there are four types?

Plain
Mayonnaise
Mustard Mayonnaise
Abura Miso

I have to choose one from these.

This is quite a difficult problem.

Even looking at the real things, they look almost identical.

After all, since I just arrived in Okinawa, should I go with the plain one?

No, mellow mayonnaise is definitely a perfect match, right?

In that case, choosing mustard mayonnaise is also an option. The spicy kick is hard to pass up.

No, no. If I want to taste Okinawa, oil miso would also be good.
I want to enjoy a mix of two flavors.

Hmm. I'm struggling.

Plain, mayonnaise, mustard mayo, oil miso...

Pla-mayo-must-miso... Pla-must-mayo-miso...

I've decided on this one!

Yes.

Oil miso.

A luxurious collaboration of pork, egg, and oil miso!
The sweetness of the oil miso blankets the perfect combination of the pork's saltiness and the egg's mellowness.

This is a winner, right?

I'm glad I struggled and made a choice.
Of course, the other flavors must be delicious too, though.

And with that, I finished it all with a happy smile!

That was a delicious meal!

In search of the blue sea and rice balls. The Okinawa edition begins.
