Spam musubi is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that came from Hawaii. Barabra Funumura, a Japanese-American woman is publicly known for creating spam musubi in 1982, which has become a staple in Hawaiian cuisine. 

It consists of a grilled slice of Spam, a block of sushi rice, a choice of sauce and wrapped in a sheet of Nori or seaweed. This Hawaiian cuisine has gained popularity around the globe, which you may have seen being sold at your local convenience stores or diners.

Senior Jayden Inhasak has been selling Spam musubi around Stockton for a year now.  

He first created the Musubi for his girlfriend, who gave him the inspiration to start selling them. ¨My girlfriend told me I should sell them and I went on from there. ¨

Inthasak runs his business through social media and Instagram @Musubi._man, where he does small and bulk orders. Prices are $2 each for Spam, and customers can choose regular or spicy. He says he is planning to take personal orders as well, where customers can make custom orders.

I heard about Jayden’s business through a friend, who passed along his social media. I messaged him on Instagram, and he was friendly and professional. Within 20 minutes, he had delivered the food and I got to try some for myself: one regular and one spicy Spam musubi. The musubi was wrapped in Saran wrap, and was still warm.
