The World’s Best Musubi Is Made Daily Inside This Humble Little Hawaii Eatery

Whether you’ve only visited Hawaii, or have called the islands’ home for years, you have undoubtedly tried these 14 iconic Hawaiian foods. And while we love a good loco moco or poke bowl as much as the next local, there is one food that reigns supreme: the musubi. You can find musubi everywhere — even at your local 7/11 — but not all musubi is created equal, and today we’re talking about the cafe in Hawaii that serves the world’s best musubi.

Welcome to Musubi Cafe Iyasume, a humble little eatery with four locations in Honolulu that serves up some of the best musubi in Hawaii — and perhaps even the world. Ready to dig in?

Made with premium rice imported from Japan, the musubi and onigiri served at Musubi Cafe Iyasume is made fresh daily and mind-blowingly delicious.

While you will find the classic Spam musubi at this eatery that is adored by tourists and locals alike, that’s not all you’ll find on the menu.

From bacon, egg, and avocado to egg, cucumber, and Spam, the flavor creations found at Musubi Cafe Iyasume are mouthwatering little packets of deliciousness.

You might even notice that the menu features a variety of other dishes, including curry, miso soup, and fried chicken. You won't regret branching out and trying something new!

Your musubi can be made to order, or you can grab any number of pre-made combinations if you’re in a hurry.

Musubi Cafe Iyasume is also affordable! Each piece of musubi ranges in price from $1.88 to 2.68, so unless you order a dozen musubi (which we wouldn't blame you for), your total will probably be under $20!

Locals know there is no better snack food in existence. Whether you're grabbing a few musubi before a morning hike or stopping by for an after-dinner snack, musubi is Hawaii's most perfect food, and the best is served at Musubi Cafe Iyasume.

Nestled in a tiny little shop with bright yellow walls and plenty of Japanese-themed decor, you'll want to stop by their Waikiki Monarch location at least once, though their other locations are undoubtedly charming as well.
