WHAT IS ONIGIRI?

Onigiri, also known as omusubi, or rice ball, is a Japanese food made from white rice formed into triangular or cylindrical shapes and often wrapped in nori seaweed.

Traditionally, an onigiri is filled with pickled plum, grilled salmon, kombu, mentaiko, takana or any other salty or sour ingredient as a natural preservative.

Because it is easily portable and eaten by hand, onigiri has been used as portable food from ancient times to the present day.
