OMS/B

The name of this café/takeout is buy-a-vowel shorthand for "omusubi," often simply called "rice balls" even when the presentation is much more elaborate. Seen here: eel ($2.50) with egg on soy-sauce-flavored rice; yukari plum ($2), shiso leaf (yukari) and sesame mixed with rice, wrapped in a pink soy sheet, and topped with fruit purée; and the blue-collar "chicken mix rice" ($1.75), with vegetables and soy sauce.
