There are specialized shops in Tokyo which only sell onigiri, these can be ordered for eat in or take out. Due to the popularity of this food in Japan, onigiri has become a popular staple in Japanese restaurants worldwide. Onigiri is a comfort food for many Japanese people, bringing upon nostalgia that reminds them of their childhood. It is also a common “On the go meal” for many of the workers in Japan. It is a popular dish that can be found throughout the country. Rice for Onigiri needs to be cooked properly and folded with care. This is to ensure that the rice is fluffy and ready; otherwise it won’t be good to use. In Japan’s history from the Kamakura period to the early Edo period, onigiri was used as a quick meal. At that time onigiri was simple, as the rice was flavoured with salt only. But as time passed by, people became more creative, and developed new flavours like fried chicken and mayonnaise. This delicious food is one of the first things visitors are keen to try in Japan. Since Onigiri can easily be found at any convenience store. These Onigiri shops provide a chance to taste an authentic home cooked style meal in Japan.
