The Inside Scoop

Did you know?

The beauty of tuna mayo pan is what happens in the oven. The mayo surface chars into a crispy, fragrant layer while underneath, the tuna and mayo meld into a creamy filling. The same tuna mayo tastes completely different from the onigiri version — a whole other personality.

How to eat

  • 1If the tuna mayo is baked on top as an open-face style, eat it face-up to keep the topping intact.
  • 2It's mild and approachable — a great first pick if you're feeling cautious in the bread aisle.
  • 3Pairs well with a cold drink. The mayo richness builds up, and something refreshing helps reset your palate.
