what's this - warm nigiri?

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Miyakonojo, Kyushu, 2012.12.24

What's going on, Japan? I'm gone for two years and return to find that your convencience stores have started nuking the staple "o-nigiri" rice balls? Call me a relic, call me what you will, but I believe that rice balls are a dish best served cold. Like revenge.

I have to say, I've been suffering a bit of culture shock, being back in this country where I so recently lived. It's pretty disorienting.
