Laura Bradley I read that even well known brands (like CocaCola) taste different in each country, so I definitly think too that it won't be the same. But for me it would be totally okay and I still want to have onigiri in my markets :D
So true. All we have in convenience stores in the U.S. is junk like potato chips and candy and canned ravioli. A few have hot dogs or nachos, and some very rare ones have sandwiches or salads or pizza. But for the most part it's all just junk. And even if they did have onigiri it would be cheap garbage. :(
There's no way the 7-11's in the US could carry onigiri. They barely know how to make bread for their sandwhiches, let alone good rice for the onigiri.
This is so much fun to watch! I love onigiri, and I always wondered what a direct comparison between the stores would be like. I love it when the nori is crispy and the rice is cooked well, so I have a feeling I might like the 7-11 onigiri very well. But they all look yummy! Thanks for another great video! See you at the livestream!
I spent one short week in Japan! Mostly in Tokyo - and I miss the convenience stores so much 😭😭 - I felt so happy going to them and just the whole experience always made me so happy and fulfilled and I could spend much more time exploring them
You guys... you're killing me. Its almost midnight here YOU'RE KILLING ME! Ahh. But death is so sweet. P.S. I'd totally pay to have onigiri shipped frozen to me
TabiEats was the first channel I watched - still fairly new to the whole UA-cam world but I still love you guys the best! Thank you for all your videos, especially like these where you compare apples to apples. Would love it if you could do other comparisons of one product like ice cream, purin, gyudon, etc. : )
Juana Cagasan I'm living here too currently. I save money on lunch eating onigiri and I was curious to see which is the best so I dont have to keep jumping convince store to convince store.
Ooh, all those onigiri! Takana is my favorite filling right now. Satoshi, that hat really suits you. Thanks for the onigiri comparison video. Have a great weekend.
I've just spent 2 weeks in Japan and Tuna Mayo Onigiri from Seven Eleven was on my daily menu. couldn't agree more with you, guys. keep on the good work !
I love the framed poster behind you: Don't Grow Up; It's a Trap. How very true! The consolation, gentlemen, is that, when you retire, you get a second childhood, but this time without parental supervision. If you're fortunate enough to still have your parents in good health, they, too, are enjoying a second childhood and don't want you to impede on their fun, hence they don't impede on yours.
Luckily, I ran upon the Channel and I am ADDICTED. I wish we had all Asian food in our United States convenience stores and more of a variety if Asian foods in the grocery stores here. I can't even find the itrms needed ti make Mochi. Or a convenient store that was all Asian. Sending the 2 of you much love.
Hi Guys, this Video is just epic. Why? its not a particular Part but the overall is just right. This is so convenient and helpfull. Thanks so much for your advise. Best wishes From Germany. ありがとうございます
I used to live in Japan and omg I miss having those triangle onigiri from 7-11! When I was a kid, I was disappointed when I found out there's no onigiri in 7-11 (Canada)
I just love the packaging design! I love that you never have to wrestle the nori onto the onigiri. I have yet to try the tuna mayonnaise one. I'm a huge sake and mentaiko onigiri fan. I'm trusting you guys. I'll try the tuna mayo one, the next time I visit Japan Central. ☺️
Onigiri, oh yum! I love the idea of comparing the onigiri between the convenience stores. You both looked so serious; I loved it! LOL! They all looked delicious, but I would choose either Family Mart or 7-11. :) Great job, guys!
there's a store here in America called Mitsuwa, and it's a Japanese food market and they sell onigiri like this!! I was so excited to try some!! I tried the salmon flavor and it was delicious !
Luckily, I ran upon the Channel and I am ADDICTED. I wish we had all Asian food in our United States convenience stores and more of a variety if Asian foods in the grocery stores here. I can't even find the itrms needed to make Mochi. Oh a question, what is Agar? Sending the 2 of you much love from my home to yours!!!
Oh this was sooo interesting thank you for this "show down" :D what a great idea, I always wonder how different the same kind of onigiri from different stores taste, but I bet they were all great. Thank you for making this video ^^/
We dont have them in our 711 here either, but the Tabieats recipe for onigiri and the yakionigiri was a good replacement...and not difficult to make at all. Hope that helps, its what I do. Thank you Tabieats for this video...well done...well made. 💛'd it!
Since you guys really like tuna mayo. Here at home we make Tuna with mayo and put corn in it (we just use canned corn) and serve it with a hot bowl of rice. Also When i make a tuna sandwich, I mix in diced up tomato, onion and pickles and put it on bread with lettuce or spinach (lol dont judge XD its really good).
Family Mart is my favorite, followed by 7-11. I think Family Mart and 7-11 have the nori separated from the rice and it all comes together as you open the package, which is why it's crispier. I could be wrong, but I remember noticing that last time I was in Japan.
The tuna mayonnaise one would probably be my favourite but I don't know what the plumb one you guys tried would be like so I would have to try a tuna mayonnaise and a plumb onigiri if I ever get the chance.
I love you guys, so entertaining 🥰 I just went to my local asian store and bought umeboshi for the first time, but its really sour and salty, must try it more often to get used to it. 😆 Btw I use the same mold as you, I'm a gadget person as well 😄 My favorite combinations of onigiri are salmon avocado, tuna mayonaise and chicken teriyaki 😍 I love to get my favorite furikake with seasame and nori into the rice before pressing the onigiri into the mold. So delicious 🤤
They all look delicious, the Asian market we have in the Rio Grande Valley is so small I don't think they even have onigiri, I would love to try it 😄😄😄
Convenient stores in America are seriously lacking. I only buy snacks such as sodas, juice, water, and chips when on long road trips. If we had these types of yummy treats, I'd buy food from there more often.
You guys always do the triangle onigiri but I've eaten the cylinder shaped ones at 7-11 and they are great. How about an episode on the other kinds of onigiri.
Combini onigiri is the food I miss the most. But I liked the round ones. I don't think they had the triangle crispy ones in the 90s - I don't remember them at least. Do they still sell the round ones?
I've been eating a lot of onigiri for lunch because my office is close to a Japanese grocery store. I usually buy the spicy tuna mayo, and it's pretty good. Unfortunately, they do not hide the Tuna in the middle of the rice, so as a result the nori looses it's crispiness quite quickly... However, onigiri and green tea is still my preferred lunch because it is so cheap and tasty.
Have you ever done a blind taste test with you both blindfolded and a third person handing you the two halves? I can't remember, but it would be a good experiment.
Those look so good. Is the salmon used like canned salmon or do they use fresh salmon. For some reason I only like canned salmon because the fresh salmon seems to have more of a fishy taste to me.
I'm sitting here losing my mind, "I WANT ONIGIRI IN MY 7-11!" *Poutsforbeinginamerica* While I'm no huge fan of a whole pickled plum, I like having a bit of it inside my onigiri it's really da bomb~, then any variety with fish eggs, salted roasted salmon is my next fav, tuna mayo takes 4th because it's not as salty but is still tasty. I like Japanese mayo a LOT. The nori on onigiri HAS to be crispy unless you're talking about the grilled variety because of the mouth-feel that replaces the satisfaction you get with both crispy and sticky textures.
I so wish that we had onigiri in the 7-11's in the U.S.
same dude, super jealous of the 7-11's in japan.
lovethatdragon yes in australia also
lovethatdragon it probably wouldn't be the same though...U.S. always changes things!
Laura Bradley I read that even well known brands (like CocaCola) taste different in each country, so I definitly think too that it won't be the same. But for me it would be totally okay and I still want to have onigiri in my markets :D

I would like to try them
Also let’s be real most people don’t eat at a 7/11 in the US which is why they don’t have fresh food. So how long would that onigiri be sitting there
Laughs in Hawaii
You guys are so lovely and funny! Thank you for keeping us informed of what's Japan can offer! 😍
This is so much fun to watch! I love onigiri, and I always wondered what a direct comparison between the stores would be like.

Omgggg, ever since I came home from Japan, I've been CRAVING onigiri so bad ._.
I spent one short week in Japan! Mostly in Tokyo - and I miss the convenience stores so much 😭😭 - I felt so happy going to them and just the whole experience always made me so happy and fulfilled and I could spend much more time exploring them
Man, I miss onigiri. I hope you guys can do a factory feature vid showing how these are made.
I just realised that satoshi sounds exactly like the guy that narrarates the cooking with dog videos.
The Thirds Token he does the voice for it =)
Island Neni does he really? I thought they sounded different. How do you know? Is it mentioned somewhere? 😊
Secret Diary of a Foodie yes, mentioned in another video
Mind blown. Holy heck I had no idea but he did sound familiar
Which video? Sounds completely different to me.
I'm going to Tokyo for the first time in August for 2 days and you motivated me to check out the konbinis! Looking forward to it!
How did it go Lizzy? Iam heading for a week next April
i love your convenient store taste videos so much
You guys... you're killing me. Its almost midnight here YOU'RE KILLING ME!
Ahh. But death is so sweet.
P.S. I'd totally pay to have onigiri shipped frozen to me
LOVED IT...... I wouldn't know which one to choose until I taste a bunch!!!!!! Although, I'll try to keep it simple at first......
Hi guy's another showdown of onigirl thanks stay safe God BLESS to all
Onigiri and Boss coffee at 7-11 were my usual breakfast last March when I was in Tokyo. Good stuff.
Family mart tuna mayo is my fav!! Haha
I couldn't help but laugh when they showed the close up of that one, "Sea Chicken Mayonnaise"
TabiEats was the first channel I watched - still fairly new to the whole UA-cam world but I still love you guys the best!

Living in Japan for already 3 weeks & I'm learning a lot from you. Thank u so much! 😘
+Juana Cagasan hope you're enjoying your time here
Juana Cagasan
I'm living here too currently. I save money on lunch eating onigiri and I was curious to see which is the best so I dont have to keep jumping convince store to convince store.
TabiEats i'm very busy with work but if I'll have long yasumi i'll definitely tour nearby tourist spot..
where is my inhaler i'm working here in japan & i buy my snack in combini before going to work. Their videos help me a lot.
Ooh, all those onigiri! Takana is my favorite filling right now. Satoshi, that hat really suits you. Thanks for the onigiri comparison video. Have a great weekend.
7-11 Tuna Mayo's my fave! Even when I want to try new onigiri I always go back to that. Enjoyed this vid guys! Perfect way to start the day!
You should do a video on best chicken between stores. Lawson's red hot was so good, but FamiChiki is also amazing!
Onigiri makes the world go round. 😀
Better than "Jelly filled donuts" -_-
Thank you so much for this video! Just in time for our trip to Japan next week. Can't wait to eat all the onigiri!!
I've just spent 2 weeks in Japan and Tuna Mayo Onigiri from Seven Eleven was on my daily menu. couldn't agree more with you, guys. keep on the good work !

They only sell 2 flavors at the supermarket where I live, tuna and california. The mayonaise one looks very tasty!
I miss Japanese food so much!!
I wish we had onigiri here :D so much filling with the tuna mayo ones!
I miss conbini's onigiri so much :( we don't have anything like that here in Chile. I hope we can go back to Japan in 2018 :)
I love onigiri and how the taste blends well

new to your channel and I went on a binge-watching spree.. fell in love with your channel! keep thee vids coming.. 😁👍💙💚💜
I just love the packaging design! I love that you never have to wrestle the nori onto the onigiri. I have yet to try the tuna mayonnaise one. I'm a huge sake and mentaiko onigiri fan. I'm trusting you guys. I'll try the tuna mayo one, the next time I visit Japan Central. ☺️
I wish you could've done a mentaiko or tarako one too! Thanks for your videos!
I lived on Family Mart and 7-11 Onigiri in Japan. Watching this makes me miss it all the more.
keep up the great vids! could u guys make maguro zuke don?
I used to eat this all the time in Japan I am going to make some today❤🙏🏼💯🙌🏼
Onigiri, oh yum! I love the idea of comparing the onigiri between the convenience stores. You both looked so serious; I loved it! LOL! They all looked delicious, but I would choose either Family Mart or 7-11. :)
Great job, guys!
I love 7-11 onigiri and my favorite is tuna mayonnaise as my oyatsu at work when im in japan. Umaisoo! tabetai na...😋😋😋
I only ate 7-11 onigiri while i was there it was delicious. However i wish i had seen this video beforehand i wouldve tried the other stores.
i used to eat 7/11's onigiri filled with ikura for straight 9 days bc its sooooo goodd
there's a store here in America called Mitsuwa, and it's a Japanese food market and they sell onigiri like this!! I was so excited to try some!! I tried the salmon flavor and it was delicious !
Luckily, I ran upon the Channel and I am ADDICTED. I wish we had all Asian food in our United States convenience stores and more of a variety if Asian foods in the grocery stores here.

You guys crack me up and that was cute how the guy in the hat guess 7 11 right to funny
Oh this was sooo interesting thank you for this "show down" :D what a great idea, I always wonder how different the same kind of onigiri from different stores taste, but I bet they were all great. Thank you for making this video ^^/
We dont have them in our 711 here either, but the Tabieats recipe for onigiri and the yakionigiri was a good replacement...and not difficult to make at all. Hope that helps, its what I do.
Thank you Tabieats for this video...well done...well made. 💛'd it!
I've been waiting for this! Ty guys!🌸
You should compare the premium onigiris from all 3 conbinis too!
Lol so the outside is more important to Shinichi and the inside is what counts for Satoshi. Interesting.
Amazing duo. I hope we have onigiris in Manila.
when we visited tokyo this march. we tried all 3 convienience stores's onigiris. we prefered FAMILYMART>7-11>LAWSON
I love the guy with the hat he's funny.
Since you guys really like tuna mayo. Here at home we make Tuna with mayo and put corn in it (we just use canned corn) and serve it with a hot bowl of rice. Also When i make a tuna sandwich, I mix in diced up tomato, onion and pickles and put it on bread with lettuce or spinach (lol dont judge XD its really good).
My ranking: Family Mart>Lawson>7-11
Anyway I love three of them!! Japan convenience stores are heaven
You guys are the cutest! Aloha from Kapolei!
you guys do a great job with your videos I like the rice 😎 🙏
You folks need to do another comparison test, this time with stores that _specialize_ in onigiri.
Family Mart is my favorite, followed by 7-11. I think Family Mart and 7-11 have the nori separated from the rice and it all comes together as you open the package, which is why it's crispier. I could be wrong, but I remember noticing that last time I was in Japan.
しそ巻きおにぎりを食べたこと有りますか？
ノリの代わりにシソで巻いであります 程よくしょっぱくて美味しいですよ！
あと焼きおにぎりなどは お醤油などの
こちらの地方で味噌おにぎり とか
味噌焼きおにぎりなどが有ります
後最近は味噌チーズ焼きおにぎりなどが
スーパーマーケットで売り始めましたよ！
ちなみに最近日本では
おにぎりに対応した冷めてもモチモチの甘いお米が開発 続々と新種のブランドのお米が出ています！
onigiri's from 7-11 are the best in my opinion. wish i could go back to japan to get some now
Family Mart was my favorite for onigiri when I visited Japan, but 7-11 had good ones too. Never saw a Lawson near me sadly.
The tuna mayonnaise one would probably be my favourite but I don't know what the plumb one you guys tried would be like so I would have to try a tuna mayonnaise and a plumb onigiri if I ever get the chance.
I love you guys, so entertaining 🥰
I just went to my local asian store and bought umeboshi for the first time, but its really sour and salty, must try it more often to get used to it. 😆 Btw I use the same mold as you, I'm a gadget person as well 😄

So delicious 🤤
waaah I miss Japan lol hopefully I can go next year again to visit. SHINICHI ARE YOU LOSING WEIGHT (that shirt looks good on you :D)
They all look delicious, the Asian market we have in the Rio Grande Valley is so small I don't think they even have onigiri, I would love to try it 😄😄😄
Loved it ! Awesomeness!
You guys are sooo cute! Like i wanna be your friend🤣
Convenient stores in America are seriously lacking. I only buy snacks such as sodas, juice, water, and chips when on long road trips. If we had these types of yummy treats, I'd buy food from there more often.
Same here in Australia!!
The tuna mayo and shake were my favorite from 7-11.
7-11 tuna mayo onigiri was my life force when I lived in Japan
It’s interesting that the ume (plum) is called Kishu (Wakayama) Nankoubai by Family Mart but 7-11 and Lawson call it Kishu Nankou-ume.
yeah 1st like woo hoo..so excited when i seen the notification for this video..and its ONIGIRI!!!!! woo hoo xxx
thank you boys for shering you video
The salmon filling sure looks good .
I LOOOOVE THIS VIDEOS. I need to find a place in my city where I can buy onigiri I really need to.
I am with team FamiMa with Satoshi-san! I tasted all the Tuna Mayo Onigiri on each konbini :)
Hai thank u for the videos
Its fantastic!
Please suggest any instant ramen noodles from convenience store for vegan
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You guys always do the triangle onigiri but I've eaten the cylinder shaped ones at 7-11 and they are great. How about an episode on the other kinds of onigiri.
I miss eating those. I can't make them as good as I had in Japan.
Gosh this made me hungry.
Can you guys do a taste test of the primium onigiri from the three stores? please and thank you
Onigiri!!!! 🍙❤️
Combini onigiri is the food I miss the most. But I liked the round ones. I don't think they had the triangle crispy ones in the 90s - I don't remember them at least. Do they still sell the round ones?
Now all I want to eat is onigiris ahaha
TRamp94 that's because our 711 sucks ;-; they only have subs -.-
skip the Mayo - 7 11 had a spicy / sweet onigiri special in Kobe last year - best -711 sake ( salmon ) make sure to get one with crispy nori :) yum
I've been eating a lot of onigiri for lunch because my office is close to a Japanese grocery store. I usually buy the spicy tuna mayo, and it's pretty good. Unfortunately, they do not hide the Tuna in the middle of the rice, so as a result the nori looses it's crispiness quite quickly... However, onigiri and green tea is still my preferred lunch because it is so cheap and tasty.
Omg now I'm craving that round one from family mart that has no seaweed but is pink I'm assuming uma rice I ate two everyday when I came to Japan
I love chicken and mayo onigiri! :D
OK, what´s happening here..it´s 11:25PM and I am watching you guys eating onigiri.....
Heard that the Ebi Mayo at family mart is the best!
I liked the tamago onigiris from 7/11
Wow I would like to try one here in USA 😩❤️
Have you ever done a blind taste test with you both blindfolded and a third person handing you the two halves? I can't remember, but it would be a good experiment.
Those look so good. Is the salmon used like canned salmon or do they use fresh salmon. For some reason I only like canned salmon because the fresh salmon seems to have more of a fishy taste to me.
how do you guys cook your rice? thats my hardest part seems to sticky most times
In our time in japan i feel like Family Mart has the best over all food selection / quality
How long can you keep them in your fridge before they go bad?
I just got back and was eating 15 of those bastards a day. I'm soaking rice now trying to figure out how to recreate it
I'm sitting here losing my mind, "I WANT ONIGIRI IN MY 7-11!" *Poutsforbeinginamerica*
While I'm no huge fan of a whole pickled plum, I like having a bit of it inside my onigiri it's really da bomb~, then any variety with fish eggs, salted roasted salmon is my next fav, tuna mayo takes 4th because it's not as salty but is still tasty.
