HappyOblivion and I had heard of Mana Bu, a cute Japanese take out place (okazuya) that sells healthy musubi's and other sweets. Since the chefs value quality and not quantity, the store sells out quickly. About a couple weeks ago, HappyOblivion and I finally visited Mana Bu. The store is very small. Wooden shelves are lined up against two sides of the wall with different musubi's neatly displayed on each shelf. The third wall has a refrigerator unit with desserts and pickled vegetables. The musubi's are made with very healthy ingredients, such as seaweed, 10-grain rice, corn and other vegetables, ume, and dried fish. Below are some of the food we bought. Starting from the upper left and following a "Z" direction: Shiso and Wakame Musubi, Veggie Curry Pilaf Musubi, Tamago, Cold Zenzai with Mochi. We love them all. I particularly liked the Tamago - the sweetness was just right. With America becoming more health conscious, this will become a popular alternative to the American diet.

They sounds healthy but don't look good at all. I think the ninja sushi is better.
Yeah, the sushi does look better. However, these do taste good. You don't feel stuffed like you do after a gigantic meal.
Yum.... they look good! Have you guys tried the Well Bento?
Yup, we liked Well Bento. Should'a gone more times but we only ate there once a while ago. I still have their menu but I bet it changed.
aww, I want some musubi! Both of those musubi look so delicious! I can't say the same for mister lower right corner....
