THEY make the BEST onigiri I’ve ever had. Hubs rarely makes requests but he requests I buy this after my Saturday Nihongo class, in time for our lunch. Our favourite flavours thus far, tuna mayonnaise and salmon.

Onigiri are rice balls more often shaped into triangular form or oval form and usually wrapped with nori (dried seaweed). More often, they have fillings inside the ball; the more popular ones of which are salmon and tuna mayonnaise shown above. Some onigiri are also made of flavoured rice (ume/plum, shirasu and nori bits/whitebait and dried seaweed bits among others) without fillings. Great for take-outs, picnics and as food-on-the-go.
