    Recently, I had leftover refried beans and cheese and rice so I made a Mexican onigiri to take to work for lunch 🇲🇽🍙🇲🇽

    Any time I have onigiri I always feel like I'm instantly transported to Japan. Luckily Thailand has a large community of Japanese expats so it's quite easy to find oginiri with various fillings at supermarkets. I still miss sitting in a park or by the river in small Japanese towns just enjoying onigiri and a bottle of tea!

    This was fun but makes me miss Japan even more. I loved being able to go into Lawson or Family Mart and pick up something when I didn't feel like going to a restaurant. I'm the same as Shinichi with Ume. If I don't feel well or if I have an upset stomach, ume always makes me feel better. I will even make tea with ume sometimes.

    I love ume and onigiri. The first thing what I always do when I arriwe to Japan, I looking for the closest conviniant store to the airport, buy a couple of onigiri and a sapporo beer, and I know I arriwed to the right place. O how I miss Japan, I hope at the end of this year I will be able to visit again. 2020 trip was canceled unfortuanetly.

    Love your convenience store series. When in Japan we often get a light meal from the convenience store because it is such a good deal.
    If 7Eleven in western countries were to start setting up their food offering the way they do in Japan, it would take off big time.

    First time I ever had Onigiri it was on a backpacking trip with friends of my mom and dad. We had them the first day in Yosemite starting the John Muir Trail. It was pickled plum. I was so hungry and it was so good.

    I ‘m like you both Umeboshi musubi is the best,,, I Hawaii there’s a good musubi called happy rice. It’s made with nametake, shiofuki konbu and edamane.. sooo so good. It’s like mazegohan and all you need is takuwan or any tsukemono. Ask Niki if she knows about. If you need the recipe, I’m more than happy to share with you all. You made me die for a musubi. I’ll make me one right now. Yummmm

    Hiiiii from 🇨🇦 and im sending my most sincerest thank you. My eyes are very very hungry. I loved visiting Japan about 5 years ago and my first impressions in Tokyo will forever be cherished memories, especially memories of all the convenience stores i found along the way and it was the definition of HEAVEN (omg I miss the hot food section with soooo much selection). I hope to visit again some day and find every single onigiri and get to taste the joy... btw I enjoy your descriptions.. it motivates me 😁. Stay safe stay well and stay full of good soul food 🙏

    This is making me miss Japan SO much! I've had a go at making my own onigiri but it's not the same. My favourite was a limited edition one from Family Mart with chilli oil (like La Yu) inside. It was my breakfast every day in Yokohama. I was devastated when they stopped selling it!

    The onigiris in Japan's convenience stores have way more filling than the US ones! It's like 3-4x times more! They're also more fresh, the ones I've tried are all cold and hard rice...

    I remember that separated nori onigiri from Family Mart was one of the first things I ate when I went to Japan. Was, and still kind of am, not a huge fan of nori, but that was awesome. There was also another one that the nori ripped away super easily. Like how cotton candy would. I don't remember what that was though, other than (I think) having salmon in it.
    If for whatever reason you guys haven't tried the Lawson swiss roll though, you really need to. It's the one that has says mochi as part of the name. Ugh that thing is easily one of my favorite things to eat in Japan. Must buy every single time.

    I am from Oregon in the US, and it is so hard to find Onigiri. It is served at a few restaurants, but when I was young and saw them in the Pokemon tv show, I wanted to try them so badly and there was no place that served them back then. So Onigiri was one of the first homemade foods I learned to make.

    @ryansheehan440 3 роки тому

    Never been to Japan or having had these, my questions are -
    1. I assume they are kept cold, so why isn't the rice hard and dry? Do you let them warm to room temp. or heat them up slightly?
    2. It looks like there is way more rice than filling. Is that make it sort of bland?
    3. How large exactly are these (in ounce or grams)?
    4. Do you ever dip them in any soy or other sauce?

    Whitebait is super popular here in New Zealand! I think our variety is a native one, but I'm sure Japan's whitebait is just as delicious! Over here, we tend to eat them cooked into fritters/patties made from flour and egg. They're admittedly overpriced, but damn they're good...
    (All of these onigiri look delicious, this one just caught my attention...)

    During my trips to Japan my breakfasts on the go was always onigiri. I can’t remember which konbini it was but there was one whose onigiri did not come with pictures (I think it was 7/11)...it was thanks to choosing the wrong one that I got to try KOMBU (8:40) and that’s my #1 favourite now haha
    Trying mentaiko was great as well... there was also a tonkotsu ramen special onigiri back then, it had a perfectly soft egg embedded in it so delicious 🤤
    I did develop a taste for ume-shu but why didn’t I try the umeboshi onigiri 🤔 I will have to try it next time for sure from your recommendation!
