In today’s video we look at The Secret Behind Japan’s Most Beloved Street Snack! Watch How Onigiri is Made!

Onigiri, also known as Japanese rice balls, are a beloved snack made by shaping steamed rice—often with a pinch of salt—into triangles, balls, or cylinders, sometimes using an onigiri mold or simply making onigiri by hand. These onigiri rice balls are typically wrapped in nori (seaweed) and filled with a wide variety of savory ingredients, such as tuna mayo, salmon, kombu, or even spam, making them both versatile and easy to customize with your favorite onigiri fillings. Popular types include tuna mayo onigiri, yaki onigiri (grilled), salmon onigiri, and crispy onigiri, with each recipe offering a unique taste and texture. Onigiri is easy to make at home (DIY onigiri), and you can find onigiris in Japanese restaurants, convenience stores, and even specialty spots like Onigiri Bongo or Asakusa Onigiri, with some places in Tokyo renowned for serving the best onigiri. Whether you’re looking for an onigiri recipe for a quick snack, a bento lunch, or want to try making onigiri with different fillings, this iconic Japanese dish is simple, delicious, and endlessly adaptable.
