Onigiri Filling Guide

Japanese rice balls have a special place in my heart. To date, I’ve always gotten myself through the harrowingly long flight from the US to Japan by envisioning those beautiful triangular friends with their savory onigiri fillings waiting for me upon my arrival.

Much like a sandwich, onigiri are versatile, delicious, and the perfect quick lunch when your salaryman “lunch hour” is really six minutes long. If you're not familiar with Japanese ingredients, it can be tough to decipher onigiri (rice balls) fillings in Japan. So let’s explore those konbini shelves; the seaweed awaits!
