  • Hiro Club News
    Hiro Club News For your cultural life in Hiroshima おにぎり Onigiri (Rice Balls) Onigiri are Japan’s most popular picnic food. They are eaten with the fingers. They are made by firmly moding rice into triangular, round, or cylindrical shapes in the palms of the hands. Sometimes a mold is used to press the rice into shape. In the Kanto area (east Japan) triangular rice balls were standard, while in Kansai (west Japan) they were usually cylindrical. Many kinds of onigiri are sold by boxed-lunch vendors and at convenience stores and onigiri specialty shops. They’re one of the popular lunches. (Abstracted from The Japanese-English Dictionary for Conversation about Japan, p. 107, Obunsha) The standard ingredients people used to put in onigiri were pickled plums (umeboshi), dried shaved bonito (okaka), and broiled salted salmon (sake). Then, they were wrapped with a dried piece of seaweed (nori). But now, various kinds of ingredients such as tuna with mayonnaise and broiled beef are put in onigiri. Rice goes well with almost all food because the rice itself has no special taste. Yakionigiri is also a popular onigiri. The surface of a rice ball is covered with soy sauce and toasted until it is golden brown. Hot, freshly toasted onigiri smell great and are a popular thing to eat after drinking. Having a picnic under cherry trees is a Japan’s typical picnic style in Japan. The best season to have a picnic is now! Why not go outside with some onigiri and enjoy spring in Japan?
