Onigiri is a Japanese rice ball snack most commonly sold in
triangular form and wrapped in seaweed (nori).
Writings dating back as far as 1600s tell us that many Shoguns stored the
rice balls in their pockets as a lunchtime meal when at war.
In Japan every convenience store is stocking Onigiri in many popular
flavors. Specialized shops, called Onigiri-ya, offer handmade rice balls for
take out.
