Torched Musubi

At Shootz, a Hawaiian-inspired concept with five locations in Southern California, musubi becomes both a spectacle and a value-driven promotion with its Spam Brûlée Musubi. Here, grilled Spam and steamed rice wrapped in nori are elevated with the brand’s signature kimchi aïoli, crisp green onions and a brûléed brown sugar crust. It’s a brilliant twist: part indulgent comfort food, part culinary theater. By running a Musubi Monday promotion that highlights this build at an approachable price point, Shootz leans into musubi’s snackability while giving guests a strong reason to visit weekly.
