My wife is opening a drive-thru restaurant which serves these (among other Asian foods like musubi and lumpia and such). Pricing as of now looks like $3 a pop, which is comparable to the pricing at the local Mitsuwa. Convenience store onigiri in Japan are of course generally a lot cheaper (especially with the current exchange rate). https://www.tsunagujapan.com/16-top-selling-items-at-lawson-in-japan/#hlKARK0PHUXBJ83 https://www.tsunagujapan.com/16-top-selling-items-at-lawson-...

Where at?
- RajT88 2y ago
  Bolingbrook, IL. As of now - opening date seems like late Nov., but of course we're new to the resto business and there's a learning curve on all of the non-food bits of it.

    Do you think the $3 price is sustainable or optimistic? My dream would be to make enough dough to start a restaurant affordable and friendly enough to become a community hub. Best of luck on your venture!

      I feel like $5 is not too expensive

      The wife has crunched the numbers, and seems to think it is sustainable. There's only one way to find out for sure, of course.
