Onigiri, also known as omusubi, are compact rice balls shaped into triangles, cylinders, or rounds, often wrapped with nori (seaweed) and filled with savory ingredients like tuna mayo, salted salmon, umeboshi (pickled plum), kombu (seaweed), or spicy cod roe (mentaiko). Traditionally made with lightly salted rice, Onigiri is a staple in bento boxes, convenience stores (konbini), and lunchboxes, loved for its portability and simplicity. It's not sushi, as it’s made with plain rice and not vinegared, and it serves as Japan’s quintessential comfort food on the go.
