One of the most recognizable symbols of Japanese food, onigiri is more than just a rice ball. From homemade lunches to convenient take-out shops, onigiri can be found across Japan and in an endless variety of flavors. But what makes a truly outstanding onigiri? Shizuka travels to the popular Onigiri Bongo shop to discover the secret to making delicious rice balls.
The master of Onigiri Bongo, Yuriko Ukon, guides Shizuka through the deceptively simple steps needed to make excellent onigiri. From over 50 flavors to choose from, Shizuka prepares and samples some unique onigiri combinations.
