更新日:2023年8月20日



"Onigiri (Rice Ball)" is said to have been a portable food for samurais. It is a dish where cooked rice is filled with various ingredients and wrapped. The use of nori seaweed to wrap the onigiri has the advantage of preventing the rice grains from sticking to the hands, in addition to the nutritional value of the seaweed itself. Nori is also consumed in China, Korea, and the UK, although the shape may vary. It is made from seaweed.


There are various fillings for onigiri, with popular ones being pickled plum, tuna, salmon, and kelp. There are many other delicious fillings for onigiri as well. Among them, there is "Shio Onigiri," which is a salted onigiri that allows you to enjoy the flavor of the rice and salt without any fillings.


Onigiri is a very familiar soul food for Japanese people, and you can find a wide variety of onigiri in every convenience store. It offers the opportunity to discover new flavors and enjoy the excitement of choosing different fillings. As a beloved soul food of the Japanese, I hope that people from other countries can also enjoy various types of onigiri with different fillings.
