Would you wait two hours for a rice ball!?

When I arrived to my dentists today, I noticed a new restaurant across the road. I noticed it because there was a queue of people lined up outside. Turns out, its a rice ball restaurant that is connected to the famous Onigiri Bongo in Otsuka (Toshima ward, Tokyo). And like Onigiri Bongo, this restaurant, 'Omusubi Shun', sells rice balls. But not just any old rice balls. They are huge and come with various toppings making them more of a meal than your regular rice balls.

Reportedly, Omusubi Shun opened on November 10th 2023. Less than a week ago. And already it is famous. A quick Internet search, while I was waiting to be seen by the dental nurse, revealed that the restaurant has already featured on countless social media accounts, in print magazines and even on TV. Supposedly, the onigiri are more like a meal than a quick snack and come with a generous amount of topping. I decided then and there I was having onigiri for lunch!

However, when I got out of the dentist's the line was much longer than when I went in. Moreover, a staff member had just put up a sign to say that the earliest we would be served was 1.30 pm... it was only 11.10 am! So that was that! There was no way I was waiting over two hours for a rice ball. I know plenty of people who would wait, but I am not that way inclined. Anyway, I go to the dentist a lot lately, and no doubt with time the lines will lessen - I'm sure there is a huge rice ball from Omusubi Shun in my future! 

How long would you wait for the latest trending food!?
