7pm in Tokyo - Onigiri

Ahhhh awesome! Onigiri!

Mugi tea!!! Wayyyy!!

Have yet to try onigiri but have had sushi and don't really care for the nori. ^^;

$2.30 USD for one onigiri?! I usually make them myself ^^;

Haven't ever had onigiri. It doesn't look like my cup of tea, though... ^^;

Cute Rin nendo, though!

Mmm no havent eaten that yet. Though i did try Miso soup and i am kinda having second thoughts about seaweed as edible stuff.

Or maybe the chef was just useless *sigh*

I've never had proper onigiri...just store bought old ones (.xx). Tried it once. Would like the real thing though.

who is the cover of that magazine !!

Onigiri are great! It is shame that they have them only in one or two Japanese Restaurants in Prague. At least they are not hard to make at home.

Looks really good.
Infact, all the pictures you take of food make me extraordinarily hungry!

I've never tried it, but I can never seem to get the taste of seaweed. It's really an acquired taste.

Yum! They look so much nicer than the ones I have made... ;;^^
Mugi tea and onigiri mmmm a great combination!

I had onigiri before but nothing this elegant. My friend custom made them to suit everyone's tastes. I asked for everything there was... after somehow putting it together, I manage to eat it in a bite or two. That was good... ^^;

I'm on a count-down to my first trip to Japan, and I want to try EVERYTHING!
Looking at that onigiri though, how do you eat it with the crispy seaweed outer-casing?? Is it so crispy that it almost explodes when you touch it, or do you have to attack it with a machete?

Mmm that onigiri looks so good. It's like a giant triangular thing of 김빱. Btw, HLJ just shipped my Kokonoe Rin nendo along with my Hoshimura Makina and summer uniform Haruhi figmas. Too bad I won't get them for another 2 weeks.

you forgot "Bo, would like to try it" wonder how it taste like XDD

mmmm Onigiri <33 It's a rare treat to find those around here in the States .-.

have known about onigiri for ages but sadly haven't tried it myself XD probably will look only and try to make one myself ^^

ah onigiri...it's the best way to get rid of left-over rice and a good excuse of not having to mix up the sushi rice seasoning to make a quick snack. ^^;

There's one thing that I can't imagine, okra onigiri? In my past experiences with okra, the taste is quite horrible and it has to be boiled down to some sort of okra soup in order for it to be edible. I'm kinda curious as to how that tastes like actually.

It looks great, I tried making a few one time...at least they were edible...

This made me kinda hungry ... but it's already 1AM and eating now is not a good idea :-)

I don't like okra. ):

Going to the 7-11s while I was in China for cheap but tasty onigiri was pretty much a daily activity for me...

I like onigiri, but I have trouble opening the plastic wrapper that holds the nori separate from the rice. When I try to carefully open the wrapper I either tear the nori or the rice becomes mis-shaped.

Mugi tea and onigiri mmm~

opening the ready packed ones was a nightmare
It was the night before the flight home from Japan... *memory vision*

I distinctly remember there were 3 'tabs' to pull.
So i pulled the tab labeled '1'. Nothing happened. so i went ahead and pulled all 3, thinking "you gotta deploy the 'tabs/flaps' first and somehow pull all 3 at the same time"

Well, lets just say i went through 4 of them with no success.
Onigiri 4 : Cyberchaos 0

I will meet you again someday........ *Akagi OP hums gently in the background*

Haven't tried onigiri yet, but I have tasted some maki, and the nori was actually quite great :3
Also got some kinda crackers from a SAJG (Suddenly Appearing Japanese Girl). Seemed to be rice crackers with a coating of salmon flavor, wrapped in nori. Actually tasted pretty sweet. Anyone know what those are called?

I really LOVE onigiri!!!

The best food ever ^o^

I've never tried onigiri so far (shame on me, I know).

I guess I'll give it a chance soon, seems to be a good way of stating to get used to Japanese food. ^^

always wanted to try out some onigiri..

Never had any onigiri, but I'd love to try some.

I once made onigiri at my friend's house as we watched anime. :D We totally failed.

Yummy ^_^ Onigiri!!! Never try before, but I wonder if it taste the same as sushi o_O

Have yet to, but want to try...are there any non-fished stuffed options?...

onigiri is such great on-the-go food.
i love smoked salmon onigiri the best. especially when the onigiri is really cold, but have to eat it really fast before the nori gets wet.

salmon onigiri + strawberry calpico or ice oolong tea = epic snack-a-roo!

truly the ideal food for scout troopers that have to eat and steer at the same time.

yummy. meh would like to eat a real onigiri one day.

Okura.... never knew it was ever used as an onigiri fill...

its good sometimes but thats kinda an acquired taste in itself :P

I brought some to school once and everyone was wondering what the heck it was. I make mine with furikake, or tuna fish with mayo. I tried umeboshi once but it was too sour for me.

That looks so delicious... I've had rice and seaweed before and it was scrumptions. I would love to try Onigiri!

is that a starshaped jalapeno?

One of my favorite triangular foods.

delicious kokonoe rin.. >D

I like the fired Onigiri

Those onigiri reminds me of rice dumplings :P

I've had the salmon one very good :) I also made seasoned onigiri came out good the second time around :s

僕、おにぎりは　ほんとに　大好き　です！

주먹밥 정말 좋아해요!

I really love onigiri, especially sake/salmon onigiri! I always buy them in bulk when I go to Japan from combini and restaurants and love eating them. Onigiris are also my vital source food waiting in line during Comic Market, yum :P

Onigiri in USA is terrible though. Salmon in sake onigiri is super small amount, like it is big as your finger nail and it's basically eating rice wrapped in seaweed only...

Nothing beats girlfriend's onigiri!

Tried out Onigiri the first time in the plane to Tokyo. Was really delicious and bought here and there some in a conbini in Tokyo as a snack.

Never made some myself. Made sushi, though. Want to try making Onigiri but I think I need a rice steamer (is this the correct english word? Or is rice cooker the right word to use?) first.

never tried onigiri before. if its just plain rice, i eat that everyday, but rice with stuffings is different.

Danny! Have you ever tried kobucha or kombucha?? Also how's the ujicha??

Me like onigiri~ used to make it during trips ^^

usually bought it in the nearby konbini, but haven't taste the one that danny ate.
where did you buy that freshly made onigiri, danny?
would love to try one.

I just ate but your post just made me more hungry

do people eat the seaweed too? I always throw most away, they stuck on teeth... seaweed on Onigiri seems to always be harder than those on sushi :(

I made mine into ball shape, sans seaweed XD

I always wanted to try the onigiri filled with jam~~~~

i love onigiri. but i normally only eat the tunamayo one. mugicha is yumm too.
i think tunamayo onigiri normally costs 100 yen in konbini.

Looks really good.

Those onigiri look very well made. For some reason in all Danny's images of food, everything looks to be presented nicely if not simple.

Haven't tried, but definitely want to.

Didn't like it at first, but tried it and thought that it wasn't that bad. It's quite nice actually.

Never had onigiri before, i'll have to try making it sometime.

I <3 onigiri filled with canned tuna and some mayo.

I wonder how that seaweed around it tastes...

gee, i've been looking for onigiris forever! but i cannot find them in any asian/japanese supermarkets >_<

again, how you keep your figure in check is beyond me ^^

i tried makin plain onigiri with an almond inside but it kept fallin apart each time i tried to make a triangle......ended up with only a ball-like onigiri ^^;

yum ! i love them!
(^o^)

230 yen is a marvelous price I think. Enjoy!

I often eat Onigiri as part of my lunch time. ^^;;

I tried making onigiri once. It didn't turn out so well. :|

Tuna mayo FTW (ò__ò)/ But being able to open the wrap without sprinkling tiiiiiiiny pieces of nori everywhere was quite difficult for me ç_ç

One of these days...I'm making some onigiri =3

I actually was taught how to make onigiri in Kamloops of all places but I don't remember much now except how to shape the rice. Sadly I never got to try my onigiri though =(

have had dushi but really want to try out some onigiri (fruits basket anime)

Rin K has a problem, thats more than she can eat! Wikipedia is great isn't it? All of that food is something I have never seen in person and it helps show what it is. Is that magazine the next issue the Japanese Prime Minister is going to hold up for a photo shoot? :D
So, wait a minute, you mean seaweed is edible? /blink blink.

Ohhh onigiriiii
I love it!!
the first onigiri I tried was the original shaped one
and the filling is salmon caviar <3

Thats one thing i have too try one day.

I like onigiri with filling better. Plain rice seems a bit... plain. Indonesia has something similar, filled with chicken, called Lemper. Now that's good!

230yen*3 = SGD$10 for just 3 onigiris. omgawd

Onigiri for $2.30? I find them for $1.50 or so! No joke!

Making onigiri is fun. I don't buy it as much because I don't go to Japantown a lot. I go once a month at most.

Onigiri makes for a good breakfast in Japan. :P

I don't mind seaweed, but I don't like it when it encases the food. Like sushi cones.

That is a good price for fresh made onigiri. I have seen a few places in Osaka that where a lot higher in price.

My waifu is always making onigiri for me to take when I'm out of the house. You should give making your own a try Danny. It is really easy to make your own. If you look you can find mold for shaping onigiri.

Really yummy ^^

Tried it once and it wasn't bad.

Had a few it wasn't really that bad.

I find onigiri to be generally delicious.

sounds like a normal salaryman's dinner... eaten in front of the computer? lol

w00t yummyyy ^__^

its hard to find real Japanese food in my place..
looks delicious..

Aw.. I want some! 8(> 3 <)8

Looks like a nice snack.

im 14 an no i havent yet tried onigiri i wish i could man its probaly the BEST!!

i loved the pizza flavored ones i think it was lawson who had them >.> So good nyuu
