My daughter is recently obsessed with anything and everything Japanese and so naturally she wanted a bento box style lunch for school, so what do I do, I jump on youtube and learn how to make her a bento box lunch! I keep coming back around to your channel to learn delicious foods, so thank you very much for helping out this mama!
I was always afraid to learn to make onigiri because I thought I'd mess it up. Thank you because now it's one of my son's favorite after school snacks. We filled ours with sliced avocado and some with honey glazed chicken.
Sakura Spring aww memories. I remember my mother making me onigiri.We used to always have them around on the dining table. When the rice got old, she's grill them to make Yaki Onigiri. Yum!
TabiEats me and my family just made rice balls thanks to your channel :) we made a video on our channel lol not for views we just do stuff for fun , I don’t know if you can call it a channel lol
I went to Japan thrice from 2004 to 2007. Then I changed my job and could never go back again. I regret my decision every day of my life because visiting Japan is a privilege whether it's the food, the politeness, the work culture, the highest level of civility not to mention the cleanliness, discipline etc etc.. basically perfection in everything. To see that and to experience it first hand is a gift. I love Japan
This is perfect. My toddler loves eating rice, but sometimes she gets frustrated trying to eat it out of a bowl, she doesn't like getting rice stuck to herself, and the fact that she's hungry just makes her even angrier, haha. I made some child sized onigiri for her and it's much easier for her to eat!
I have just felt I was craving for onigiri and wondering if you have ever shown how to make them and here I am.. wonderful! Thank you! Can’t wait to make some!!
Thank you for your explanation on this traditional Japanese snack. As I watch a second time I am reminded of the times that my mom and I would make these together, the Japanese plum one is my favorite. We had so much fun. I would get home from elementary school and of course change into my play clothes and eat one or two for a snack.
Loved this video!! Followed this to make onigiri at home because NO restaurant in my area offers these! I used canned tuna and salmon and added some furikake to the rice as well, YUM!!
you really put me back into my high interest in Japan... I ordered Bento stencil sets and all that... One day hopefully I can make it to Japan for a long vacation. I put that idea aside when I started studying and then started a family. but now I want to come so badly!
And as you said, it is a really comfort food, but for me , it reminds me of obento lunch boxes or a lunch time sneak bought somewhere in 7/11 kinda shop ^^
Thanks for posting. I made Onigiri yesterday. When I don't want to cook I make many Onigiris. Shiojake or Shake flakes are not available around here so I buy a salmon steak and coat it with salt to make one. They were worth it
Thanks so much for this great tutorial! I just had my very successful lunch of tuna mayo (with a bit of chop cilantro) Onigiri, I wish I could show you the pictures. You are inspirational. Love you both.
I made these for the first time today and they were amazing. Thank you for this video. I would never have tried to make these without your channel. Keep making awesome videos!
This looks fun! Since I love onigiri and havent really eaten it in years I might actually try and make some :) I eat seaweed and rice all the time but onigiri is special.
thank you sooooo much. iv always wanted to try making onigiri and after finding your channel (and watching like a million videos) i decided to make some. much more simple than i was expecting. i made spicy beef (all i had in the kitchen :p) very delicious, and so simple! greatest channel iv ever subbed to. thank you!
finally stopped being lazy and im about to make some tuna filled onigiri thanks for your video i honestly would have tried to inject the tuna if i hadnt seen this lol.
Hey Shinichi !!! Hey to Satoshi !!! This is what I was Talkin about to ya a while back !!! My Friends Mother would make this for us as a After School Treat !!! Brought Back a Lot of Memories !!! Looks NEXT Level Yummy ... Thank You for Sharin your Wonderful Recipe !!! Excellent Video my Friends ...
Personally I have one tuna-based filling which I do prefer over the normal tuna+mayonnaise. Try it! What you need is: canned tunna mayonnaise capers soy sauce sake a pinch of parmesan. Blend all the ingredients together, add mayonnaise and soy sauce if you want the whole thing to be a bit softer. Personally I really appreciate to put a nice amount of capers, and don't exaggerate with sake, just some drops!
I've been taking onigiri to work, because my lunch is only 30 mins. So far I have only put scrambled eggs in it(seasoned with salt and onion powder), I really want to branch out but It's so hard to find Ume or other traditional Japanese fillings in USA. At least in Arizona. I will try tuna and mayo. I wish I could try the more interesting fillings!
Living 808, and being raised in "mixed" company, have iund it easier to start w/3-4 ozs.of rice, shape into small, flat circle(or triangle...your choice) then add whatever filling you want-ume, tuna, salmon, sardine, etc., etc. Then cover creation w/additional rice. For me, it's EASY!--IMHO
in Indonesia we have something like Onigiri but without Nori :D there's two version of it 1. we call it "Lontong isi" made of compressed rice cake in the form of a cylinder wrapped inside a banana leaf you can filled with spicy oncom, spicy rice noodle of some spicy veggie and even meat. and we dip it into Sweet & spicy peanut butter sauce. for the 2nd. we call it "Lemper" made of glutinous rice filled with chicken, fish or abon (meat floss) in the form of a small cylinder wrapped inside a banana leaf :D
Jaime de devangel Thank you so much for teaching me about those foods. We have something similar to that too called Chimaki. It's glutinous rice with meat and vegetables inside and wrapped in a leaf. Sounds very similar yeah? :)
I'm making onigiri for the kids I watch (for my job) tomorrow! Can I just say I wish I had your hands! They're so much prettier than mine! I'm actually making a filling my friend Yuko-chan taught me to make--beef cooked with teriyaki! We used to eat it while we studied all the time! :D
Hahah! You definitely shouldn't have watched how I made onigiri today! They ended up being like...3 inches thick! Lolol! And I definitely got rice everywhere! It was like a Rice Volcano exploded. But at least they tasted good! haha! But maybe I'll film one...when I can make them without throwing rice everywhere. haha!
i seen your mexican food video and it was really good!! now i can learn how to make this!! can you maybe do bento box ? unless you already have a video of one :)
My daughter is recently obsessed with anything and everything Japanese and so naturally she wanted a bento box style lunch for school, so what do I do, I jump on youtube and learn how to make her a bento box lunch! I keep coming back around to your channel to learn delicious foods, so thank you very much for helping out this mama!
she's called a weeaboo.
My daughter is the same. Obsessed anything. Japanese. Loo
Omg i want you to be my mom but I'm not weeaboo i just like the Japanese exchange student in my school lol!
thats so nice of your mom/you
@@WiccanMutti oh god. why are you proud about that… 🤢
THESE DONUTS ARE GREAT!! JELLY FILLED ARE MY FAVORITE!!! NOTHING BEATS A JELLY FILLED DONUT!!!
Green PowerRanger lol
Love it. When I was a kid I was like man they have some weird donuts over there lol
Pokemon!!! Hahaha....
You know these are not doghnuts their rice balls. Don't listen to that 4Kids are the devil company.
Teresita Pilipina Master of the obvious!
I was always afraid to learn to make onigiri because I thought I'd mess it up. Thank you because now it's one of my son's favorite after school snacks. We filled ours with sliced avocado and some with honey glazed chicken.
Oh! I might try that
@@brie1226 same! Def gotta steal that combo
We love rice, something new to try, thank you.
Haniela's This is super easy to make and you can get creative with the fillings. YUM!
thank you for being so comprehensive in your explanation of how to shape the triangle! other videos i watched went WAY too fast!!
😂😂😂😂
Sakura Spring aww memories. I remember my mother making me onigiri.We used to always have them around on the dining table. When the rice got old, she's grill them to make Yaki Onigiri. Yum!
i love it
That's a great idea!!! The Yaki Onigiri is amazing!!!!
TabiEats how do u store them
TabiEats me and my family just made rice balls thanks to your channel :) we made a video on our channel lol not for views we just do stuff for fun , I don’t know if you can call it a channel lol
Ever since Dragon Ball and Pokémon have I always wanted to try these !
I'm literally that one kid that likes anything related to the japanese culture.
I searched for this because I watch too much anime 😄
Haha same
I can relate.
Same!
ur probably just a weeb
I love how in-depth you went per instruction, from construction to the filling to the shaping! They look cute and tasty! Thank you!
I went to Japan thrice from 2004 to 2007. Then I changed my job and could never go back again. I regret my decision every day of my life because visiting Japan is a privilege whether it's the food, the politeness, the work culture, the highest level of civility not to mention the cleanliness, discipline etc etc.. basically perfection in everything.

What type of job do you have that prevents you from ever going to Japan again?
This is perfect. My toddler loves eating rice, but sometimes she gets frustrated trying to eat it out of a bowl, she doesn't like getting rice stuck to herself, and the fact that she's hungry just makes her even angrier, haha. I made some child sized onigiri for her and it's much easier for her to eat!
Japanese food truly is art in itself. 😍
I have just felt I was craving for onigiri and wondering if you have ever shown how to make them and here I am.. wonderful! Thank you! Can’t wait to make some!!
He feels a lot like the father I never had and it makes me feel great watching his videos because I feel like I’m learning from a father figure
that is so sweet!
As someone who doesn't have a father as well I can very much relate.
I'm celiac and been eating a lot of rice so this is great to learn. Thank you!
Thank you for your explanation on this traditional Japanese snack. As I watch a second time I am reminded of the times that my mom and I would make these together, the Japanese plum one is my favorite. We had so much fun. I would get home from elementary school and of course change into my play clothes and eat one or two for a snack.
I'm going to make sushi today and if I have any extra rice and nori, I'm definitely going to try this!!
Awesome! Hope you enjoy these!
What a great instructional video for making onigiri! 🍙🍙🍙
Your video on making onigiri is one of the best!
I love onigiri! They are sooo comforting ^^ Now, I'm hungry...
あけみPeasnatch Akemi They really are comfort food and so convenient too.
Watched this while eating rice and i can say this is a really well made video
Ume Onigiri is my favorite. This was my breakfast many mornings in Tokyo and Okinawa. The Combini's had them fresh and ready!
I remember having them at a college festival at the college that I go to, and it was delicious 😋
Loved this video!! Followed this to make onigiri at home because NO restaurant in my area offers these! I used canned tuna and salmon and added some furikake to the rice as well, YUM!!
you really put me back into my high interest in Japan... I ordered Bento stencil sets and all that... One day hopefully I can make it to Japan for a long vacation. I put that idea aside when I started studying and then started a family. but now I want to come so badly!
It's my dream to live there!!! I have ALWAYS loved the Japanese culture!!!
When I see Onigiri rice balls it reminds me of a school in Japan and the kids have bento boxes and Onigiri rice balls are inside!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much. I miss these so much from Lawsons and Family Mart in Okinawa.
I absolutely loved your video you are the first one that has explained how to make the only get in shape. Thank you so much!!!!
Back in 2013 I made onigiri for a dinner break in night school I filled them with shredded pork roll for a filling. They came out really good
2:05 that lil piece of rice clinging to his hand is me clinging to life
Thank you for providing us weebs with your knowledge
And as you said, it is a really comfort food, but for me , it reminds me of obento lunch boxes or a lunch time sneak bought somewhere in 7/11 kinda shop ^^
These doughnuts are great! Jelly filled are my favorite! Nothing beats a jelly filled doughnut
These jelly filled doughnuts look great!
Thanks for posting. I made Onigiri yesterday. When I don't want to cook I make many Onigiris. Shiojake or Shake flakes are not available around here so I buy a salmon steak and coat it with salt to make one. They were worth it
Yes my mother always had onigiri on the table so we could just grab and go whenever we wanted. Comfort food at its best.
I've made some with fried shrimp and spicy mayo. Thank you for showing the shaping techniques. Will try them.
Stephanie Durann Oh that sounds amazing! Let me know how yours turned out!
They were great. Your shaping technique was a big help. I'm going try you curry rice recipe next.
I can't wait to make my on!!!!! I truly thought it was way more complicated, I got so hungry watching you!
So happy I watched this. If I hadn't, I would have put in the entire plum.
Lane D lol me too
Making my second batch of rice. This is fun. The children like it.
I love japanese food a couple years ago our japan trip got cancelled so i really want to eat this
Thanks so much for this great tutorial! I just had my very successful lunch of tuna mayo (with a bit of chop cilantro) Onigiri, I wish I could show you the pictures. You are inspirational. Love you both.
Yum...... love to make onigiri for snack....so satisfying....perfect demonstration... good 😌
When I was a child, nori was expensive in my country. So, oniguiris was only for somebody' birthday. I love it!
Is anyone here because they watch anime and see them eating rice balls? And they make them look so good? 🍙
Yeah
Mustard leaf
I only ever put tuna mayo in mine so this was really interesting to see the different types of fillings you can do. Great video!
hana198624 Thanks so much. I'm thinking of making some other onigiri videos as it's fun to get creative with them.
TabiEats looking forward to it! I had a chance to check out your channel and I'm glad I subscribed, your videos are really interesting.

i’m not Japanese but my mom would make these all the time now i’m 14 and she says I have to make them myself so here i am learning 😊
im Hispanic and im obsessed with japanese culture
These actually tasted really good just got done making them I used minced chicken for my filler
Mmmm. Yum. I saw at 99 Ranch Markets, they have Musubi Nori pre-perforated for easy tearing to the right size. It's very convenient.
I see very often in Japanese-made video games and of course, manga and cartoons.
Onigiri was our favorite food growing up with umebushi (pickled plum) in the middle. We call it NEE-NEE NEE-NEE!
Hi Shinichi, made sushi 🍣 before but will try making the 🍙 using your method . Arigato 😀👍
This looks fun! Since I love onigiri and havent really eaten it in years I might actually try and make some :) I eat seaweed and rice all the time but onigiri is special.
my favorite is a sweet plum filling the my mom makes.
So excited to try this.

New subscriber here from Philippines..love all your videos! 😍
I made these a long time ago, looks like I wasn't too far off w/ the filling! (Used canned tuna & salmon.)

TabiEats it is sounds similar o(^ω^)o ahahaha
Jaime de devangel haha it does. :) I want to try the Indonesian version one day.
is the rice with or without salt? greetings from Cologne, Germany
The rice is plain. You put the salt onto your hands. This way it doesn't get too salty.
うめおにぎり is my favorite!
The Technical Beauty Blog Mine too! We must be related.
Best video ever!
ดิฉันก็รักอาหารญี่ปุ่นมากค่ะ i love it too
Thank you! ❤️I’m going to try this this week! Cross your fingers mine look half as good! ❤️ loving tabieats!!

+KeelyCanVlog aww thank you! Now I'm sure your hands are prettier than mine! lol. You should do an onigiri video. That would be fun to watch!
Hahah! You definitely shouldn't have watched how I made onigiri today! They ended up being like...3 inches thick! Lolol! And I definitely got rice everywhere! It was like a Rice Volcano exploded. But at least they tasted good! haha!
But maybe I'll film one...when I can make them without throwing rice everywhere. haha!
i seen your mexican food video and it was really good!! now i can learn how to make this!! can you maybe do bento box ? unless you already have a video of one :)
When i watch Ninja hattori i always use to wonder how that rice balls are made and now finally i am here to learn it.❤️🤣
I've made these and love them...but now I'm curious what would happen if you battered and deep fried? Tempura rice ball?
