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...
