Sorry, some contamination from my native lang here. I didn't mean a rice ball, but a cup full of rice, like for sashimi. And indeed (I saw it!) the traditional Japanese breakfast consists of mixing a raw egg in a cup full of rice, and eating that... Still, as I said, it is the *traditional* breakfast. Nearly nobody eats that anymore. As for onigiri, I still have to try that. It looks so nice... Christophe. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr
