Japanese food ~28~ Onigiri おにぎり

I have not introduced Onigiri on this blog.
In the story of "A white cat 一匹の白いねこ", the monk got onigiri when he was
so hungry.
Onigiri is like this stuff.


Maybe onigiri is translated "rice ball".
But in our image, onigiri's shape is a triangle(三角形sankakkei).
And onigiri is covered by dried laver.(のり) It is so easy to carry.
So, when you go to picnic, or short trip, we sometimes prepare this onigiri
for lunch. When I was kid, my mother used to make some onigiris when
I went to school trip(修学旅行syuugaku ryokou).

You can enjoy various tastes, putting something in this onigiri.

This is tarako(たらこ) taste. Tarako is salted cod roe.


I will sometimes write Japanese words for Japanese learners on this blog.
