So much wonderful variety! I love the simplicity and purity of the single-filling onigiri. It was fun watching you guess which onigiri was which.😊 Perhaps you can try the combination flavors at Omusubito, at some point. Like you, Shinichi, I prefer the nori wrapping to be soft, having grown up with it that way. Thank you both for this yummy, entertaining video, and thanks to Aineesan for being such a good friend.❤❤❤
Oh my Onigiri! That was so many onigiri. I used to not like them so much because I am a sandwich person. However I have really grown to like them. Kombu and Umeboshi are actually my favorite. Those had a real made by someone's grandma look to them. Like go to the country side for the day and some Obachan hands it to you before you set out for the day. NIce video.
Oh how fun! I love onigiri, and it would be so fun to visit this shop and try the different varieties. I'm glad that Aineesan suggested this shop to you, and I hope you'll visit the other onigiri shops, too. Best wishes to you both!
I'm _so_ glad to see you, Erin! I hadn't seen you in the comments for some while, it seems to me (or perhaps you were there and I just missed you). I hope all is as well as may be with you and yours! ❤
You are the most beautiful couple. Every time I see you together, I feel the love you have for each other, along with the love you show for your local foods. You're both amazing.
If you're planning on visiting other onigiri shops, I highly recommend Onigiri Bongo in Otsuka. Ukon Yuriko, the owner, is a fabulous lady and they make glorious onigiri.
I was just going to comment on Onigiri Bongo too. I've seen the shop featured on a couple of shows, including Trails to Tokyo, and they look so good, especially with the numerous fillings they have available.
OMG I LOVE onigiri, especially umeboshi! I wish we could have seen them being prepared. I enjoyed your commentary, had a good laugh. I remember as a child we made our own musubi we would use the whole sheet of nori and place our rice and filling in the center, usually umeboshi and make into a huge ball and wrap in waxed paper and newspaper and pack as our lunch and go out to play. Those were the days … natsukashii! ❤🌺
These look delicious!!!! And fun to guess the onigiri flavour. It's like a game you van play at a picknic or something hahaha Never seen a bacon onigiri. I would try most of the ones you bought. I marked the shop on my maps so I can check it out someday.
Yayyyyy sister Aineesan!! These onigiri looked amazing!! I love love takana! I haven't had takana is years though....... My GO-TO onigiri is with okaka. The okaka/natto sounds so good!! Thank you for sharing these most delicious looking onigiri my brothers! The one with bacon is definitely interesting, as I love to make bacon fried rice whenever I don't make Spam fried rice for my family.
Now I'm craving onigiri. Like Shinichi, I prefer the sour/salty umeboshi and the softer nori on mine. Never thought to put takanazuke inside but will have to try it. Thanks for a great episode! Looking forward to the other onigiri shops.
Onigiri tabetai! I love nato w/shiso kombu & green onion. Shouldn't watch this when hungry! I better make some rice! Enjoyed watching this video & trying to guess the filling!
Onigiri are so delicious! Love onigiri!! Onigiri is like pizza, you can put anything on it and it'll taste good. And I love pizza one of my favorite food.
I am so sad looking at these Onigiri >.< We just got some into my local supermarket but those are made with sushi rice, so vinegared, and they have almost no filling but are really expensive... I love Onigiri and every time I went to Düsseldorf I would buy some but I moved away and can't get there easily anymore, so I didn't have Onigiri (I didn't make myself) for years and was so excited to see them in my supermarket... yeah... really dissapointed ^^'
Watching Pokémon and Naruto was my first ever introduction to onigiri. Today, I make my own and it’s so good when you just want to have a little picnic out!
At 3:45 on your great video is that spam Musubi I see on the bottom right corner? Will make this a stop with our family as we finally get to return to Japan at the end of May. My kids and grandkids grew up eating grandma's Musubi, especially spam musubi when they went on school excursions.
My daughter and I love Onigiri. We can not get them where we live unless with drive 4.5 hours to Atlanta and then it is only if the shops have made them. I love yakiniku and think it would make a great filling. I have had Adzuki filling and Tuna Mayo which was really good. Thank you guys for a great video.
The nori wrapping would help flavour the plain rice but some of these such as the canned tuna one look to have a very low ratio of filling to rice. They are cheap but I think even if I had to pay a little more, I would much prefer they all had a really decent amount of filling like the kimchi one had. They still look good, I think the combination ones would be nicest and I could imagine if I worked locally, I would be buying 3 or 4 every day for a healthy breakfast. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, such variety of fillings and flavors. They all look so yummy. I go to Onigilly in San Francisco - they don't have the variety but it's a perfect lunch snack with a side of miso soup.
Guys, I think my favorites would be the yakiniyu and pork kim chee. Both look excellent. You may also consider doing a Hotto motto taste test. Hotto motto is a nation-wide take out only bento place. They sell about 35+ different bentos, the steak one is awesome.
Those onigiri look delish. I just ate breakfast and still drooling over watching this video. All the unknown filling make them like fun surprise to each onigiri
how fun i wouldve have difficulty choosing omusubi aineesan has great taste i think i would like spicy tuna mayo, kim chee pork, takana great video thats a lot of rice if u ate it all gotta take a nap😊
Wow! I had no idea there were so many different varieties of onigiri. I'm only used to seeing ume, salmon, and tuna. This gave me so many ideas next time i want to make a batch. Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting tasting! Guess the contents onigiri testing! And I do love your wreath on the wall--so lovely and spring-like. When you said you were craving tuna and must be pregnant or something, I laughed so hard I almost choked! Sometimes you two are SO silly; I love it.
I discovered Onigiri from a convenience store, had no idea what it was and from then I really enjoyed picking some up as a healthy snack when travelling. Then I saw them on TV when Samurai were travelling from place to place (possibly along the Tokaido Road), and understood that they actually have a long history in Japan. Up until now I thought onigiri filling is always simple, such as a sour plum and a couple more. However you showed that the Omusubito shop sells many different types. And so when I next visit Tokyo, I want to visit this very nice shop. Many thanks.
Wonderful review of some tasty looking onigiri. Takana is mustard greens, so I wonder if it gets it's unique pungency being from mustard? It is also one of my favorite side dishes to eat with rice! 😋
How super yummy all looks! I love onigiri, tuna mayo is an easy fav. Would love to try all of these specially the yakiniku and natto ones. Looking foward to the next onigiri vid. 😊
