Mama Musubi Reviews
Musubi are pretty good but too pricy for what they are supposed to be. A snack on the go.Mushy raw spam no good. The Spam is not seared and it needs to be seared, fried browned… whatever way you want to call it. Sometimes the Spam is soaked in teriyaki after browning before assembling the musubi. Never the Less spam needs a hot searing so the flavor stands out more and the texture isn't mushy!The spicy tuna was good … a little small for the price. Hope you can make some improvements…Great...read full review
