CHICAGO — Sportscaster Jason Benetti once said the defining characteristic of the White Sox’s ballpark (now on its fourth name) is the smell of grilled onions.The scent makes sense. You come to Rate Field for hot dogs smothered in onions, cold beer and soft-serve ice cream in a helmet. It’s the South Side of Chicago, after all.But the White Sox have long prided themselves on a diverse food and drink menu, with staples like Cuban sandwiches, elotes and Latin American-inspired cuisine. They debuted a viral milkshake in 2024 (the year they also lost a record 121 games) and have a healthy variety of non-healthy alternatives for the standard ballpark fare.Now, inspired by the success of Munetaka Murakami, the team’s marquee free-agent signing out of Japan, the Sox recently added a new snack: the “Muneshot,” a sushi version of the “Push-Up” style ice cream treat.I know what you’re thinking: What’s a sushi version of an ice cream treat? And for that matter, who gets sushi at a baseball game — outside of, say, Seattle, or the luxury suites in New York?To answer the latter, a lot of people, judging by the way the Muneshots are flying out of the fridge at The Rate. They’re selling around 700 per game.“I think sushi has become such a mainstream item for people that they’re willing to try it,” White Sox CMO Brooks Boyer said. “I’m sure people were skeptical of whether this would be good or not, and people seemed to be liking it.”
