Any time I have onigiri I always feel like I'm instantly transported to Japan. Luckily Thailand has a large community of Japanese expats so it's quite easy to find oginiri with various fillings at supermarkets. I still miss sitting in a park or by the river in small Japanese towns just enjoying onigiri and a bottle of tea!
This was fun but makes me miss Japan even more. I loved being able to go into Lawson or Family Mart and pick up something when I didn't feel like going to a restaurant. I'm the same as Shinichi with Ume. If I don't feel well or if I have an upset stomach, ume always makes me feel better. I will even make tea with ume sometimes.
I ‘m like you both Umeboshi musubi is the best,,, I Hawaii there’s a good musubi called happy rice. It’s made with nametake, shiofuki konbu and edamane.. sooo so good. It’s like mazegohan and all you need is takuwan or any tsukemono. Ask Niki if she knows about. If you need the recipe, I’m more than happy to share with you all. You made me die for a musubi. I’ll make me one right now. Yummmm
美味しそう!!!うらやましい!!🤤😋Someone asked me why we call Onigiri "Riceballs" when they are triangle and that they should be called "Rice Triangles". I tried to tell them that when you make them at home they are more round but they were not satisfied with my answer. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I love ume and onigiri. The first thing what I always do when I arriwe to Japan, I looking for the closest conviniant store to the airport, buy a couple of onigiri and a sapporo beer, and I know I arriwed to the right place. O how I miss Japan, I hope at the end of this year I will be able to visit again. 2020 trip was canceled unfortuanetly.
Since you talked about dates in the last bread video, I'd like to let you know that I really appreciate the little "history" behind it. If you could include more facts about dishes (year of creation, story etc) it would be wonderful for us 💖
i usually follow your other silent channel, but i wanna drop by here to say for the two of you, happy gay marriage ruling in japan!!!! 😄😄😄😄🎊🎉 And talking about onigiris im so interested in tasting one with mochi rice. And ones that are grilled! These seem great too
Do you thought about giving your dog food, while you are filming, to keep him busy? That's how I got rid of my dog making noises all the time, while I eat next to him.
I can imagine my sad little face, that moment you say I'm so hungry and your Japanese friend winks at you and says ''leave this to me'' comes back with rice and salmon wrapped in seaweed!!! ..... He died so young!
I am the worst Onigiri maker, failed many times and then I call my japanese friend Chef ex Nobu Chef and he always sends me his homemade Onigiri because I’m begging while crying. I’m always spoilt! Everyone loves Loretta in Bali
The onigiris in Japan's convenience stores have way more filling than the US ones! It's like 3-4x times more! They're also more fresh, the ones I've tried are all cold and hard rice...
Love your convenience store series. When in Japan we often get a light meal from the convenience store because it is such a good deal. If 7Eleven in western countries were to start setting up their food offering the way they do in Japan, it would take off big time.
Sadly, I've never had onigiri before :(. they all looked delicious poor Justin must've been scared by the thunder! I know all the dogs I've ever had, except the white one in my thumbnail, was scared silly by them
Never been to Japan or having had these, my questions are - 1. I assume they are kept cold, so why isn't the rice hard and dry? Do you let them warm to room temp. or heat them up slightly? 2. It looks like there is way more rice than filling. Is that make it sort of bland? 3. How large exactly are these (in ounce or grams)? 4. Do you ever dip them in any soy or other sauce?
First time I ever had Onigiri it was on a backpacking trip with friends of my mom and dad. We had them the first day in Yosemite starting the John Muir Trail. It was pickled plum. I was so hungry and it was so good.
My sweet boys, I can’t tell you how JEALOUS I am from watching this video! Not only are you eating all that DELICIOUS onigiri that I can’t have right now, but you also are having thunderstorms which is one of my very favorite kinds of weather! Love and miss you both so much! 💖✨💖✨💖
Is ume similar in flavor to ling hing mui? I know ling hing is salty and sour with a hint of sweetness. Thanks for the fun video. It's always amazing to see the variety in Japanese convenience stores!
I wish there were more onigiri options where I live in the USA. There is a restaurant that just opened up recently that mostly sells onigiri that I want to try.
Whitebait is super popular here in New Zealand! I think our variety is a native one, but I'm sure Japan's whitebait is just as delicious! Over here, we tend to eat them cooked into fritters/patties made from flour and egg. They're admittedly overpriced, but damn they're good... (All of these onigiri look delicious, this one just caught my attention...)
During my trips to Japan my breakfasts on the go was always onigiri. I can’t remember which konbini it was but there was one whose onigiri did not come with pictures (I think it was 7/11)...it was thanks to choosing the wrong one that I got to try KOMBU (8:40) and that’s my #1 favourite now haha Trying mentaiko was great as well... there was also a tonkotsu ramen special onigiri back then, it had a perfectly soft egg embedded in it so delicious 🤤 I did develop a taste for ume-shu but why didn’t I try the umeboshi onigiri 🤔 I will have to try it next time for sure from your recommendation!
Poor Justin must've been scared silly by the thunder :(. most of the dogs I've had my entire life was scared silly by it-except the white one my thumbnail! Also, sadly, I've never had onigiri before. they all looked delicious. these convenience store vids are awesome, please keep them up!
Hiiiii from 🇨🇦 and im sending my most sincerest thank you. My eyes are very very hungry. I loved visiting Japan about 5 years ago and my first impressions in Tokyo will forever be cherished memories, especially memories of all the convenience stores i found along the way and it was the definition of HEAVEN (omg I miss the hot food section with soooo much selection). I hope to visit again some day and find every single onigiri and get to taste the joy... btw I enjoy your descriptions.. it motivates me 😁. Stay safe stay well and stay full of good soul food 🙏
I just went to Marukai, Mitsuwa and Nijiya here in San Diego for my monthly shopping. Japanese food is so expensive here! In addition to my normal items I bought 3 tuna onigiri ($2.80 each) and there was hardly any tuna😕 On a happier note, love you guys, keep up the great work and give Justin a big hug from me!!
Onigiri are just another example of how a simple culinary platform can host SO many good tastes. A lot of these sounded _really_ nice. Poor Justin seemed really upset by the *don don don* action going on outside. Does he dislike storms?
Thanks guys for another video!! The rice balls look tasty!! Believe it or not, I go to a convience store for coffee almost everyday. I have a 7-11, FamilyMart and Lawson walking distance from out house. Take care, and keep up the great work, we love your videos!
This is making me miss Japan SO much! I've had a go at making my own onigiri but it's not the same. My favourite was a limited edition one from Family Mart with chilli oil (like La Yu) inside. It was my breakfast every day in Yokohama. I was devastated when they stopped selling it!
never seen sansai onigiri but I've never been in Japan in spring. Is it really bitter? I love the kombu one. I like to try the different onigiri but usually come back to the kombu. The shirasu one sound good too, and I really want to try the takomeshi; I love octopus!! I realize now that I have never really tried ume onigiri. I really like ume and the umeboshi furikake tasted to good, but somehow never bought an ume onigiri hahaha
All I could say was Aaah!!! my mouth was wide open for everyone you aimed at the camera . I get excited everytime I see your food . Thanks gentlemen I enjoyed everyone I'm very satisfied. 😉 💙💙💙🍙🍙🍙Onigiri no matter what flavour. 👍👍👍
They all look yummy. I want to ask if most onigiri safe for those allergic to seafood (like with shrimps, seashells)? Thank you for sharing! Stay safe & healthy
I remember that separated nori onigiri from Family Mart was one of the first things I ate when I went to Japan. Was, and still kind of am, not a huge fan of nori, but that was awesome. There was also another one that the nori ripped away super easily. Like how cotton candy would. I don't remember what that was though, other than (I think) having salmon in it. If for whatever reason you guys haven't tried the Lawson swiss roll though, you really need to. It's the one that has says mochi as part of the name. Ugh that thing is easily one of my favorite things to eat in Japan. Must buy every single time.
It would be amazing if you could do some episode around a single theme of supermarket! Taking us to your favorite market and buying one type of food for each section (like one best frozen food, one bento, one snack etc) ♡
Recently, I had leftover refried beans and cheese and rice so I made a Mexican onigiri to take to work for lunch 🇲🇽🍙🇲🇽
Omg great idea
That sounds really tasty 💕
Love it!!!
😁👍
Try it with mole.

When I visited Japan in 2019, I found that I liked Family Mart's onigiri and sandwiches the most.
I like the Lawson onigiri most.
That first "itadakimasu" was in perfect harmony
That rumble was thunder. I thought it was someone's stomach asking for more salmon.......... >.>
They just don't have a normal stomach and a desert belly, but a salmon stomach as well?
Onigiri is one of my absolute favorite snacks, and I cannot get them where I now live. I'm going to have to learn how to make them, I suppose.
This was fun but makes me miss Japan even more. I loved being able to go into Lawson or Family Mart and pick up something when I didn't feel like going to a restaurant. I'm the same as Shinichi with Ume. If I don't feel well or if I have an upset stomach, ume always makes me feel better. I will even make tea with ume sometimes.
I do the same thing with ume, I learned it from my mom👍🏼
Ume, miso, and ginger are amazing when you’re sick...or hungover.
Im moving back to Tokyo in June, will be looking for Satoshi's Takoyaki Onigiri shop! (oiishi so!)
I remember my momma making this with the sour plum...I love these
I love onigiri. Because japanese food is trendy you can now buy it in our country but they're expensive and have no taste
Justin wants! I live going to Japan and getting onigiri.
Loved this taste test!❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️
Ok, now Satoshi is starting to age in reverse! Spring must be good for you both!
Im a Vegetarien and I live in Germany. We have Holidays and i want to go Tommorow in the Asia Markt and buy Onigiri. I Love the Colture of Japan.
We need convenience store onigiri so bad in the states. Yum!
My son (a chef) has become a Mayo snob. He orders the Kewpie Mayo from Japan. He won’t eat any other now. Lol. ❤️
Have he tried making mayo? It's not very hard but you havecto stir a lot.
I ‘m like you both Umeboshi musubi is the best,,, I Hawaii there’s a good musubi called happy rice. It’s made with nametake, shiofuki konbu and edamane.. sooo so good.

You guys must gain weight regularly making all these konbini videos
I loved eating onigiri when I was in Japan😭😭 I think I ate at least 2 everyday as a snack lol .. Onigiri is just not the same in Canada😢
The tuna onigiri was my favorite growing up in Hawaii.

I like it when Yakiniku places serves plain onigiri with Shoyu at the side and we bbq it over the charcoal fire
Sounds incredible.
I can imagine my sad little face, that moment you say I'm so hungry and your Japanese friend winks at you and says ''leave this to me'' comes back with rice and salmon wrapped in seaweed!!! ..... He died so young!

I think that second one or last one would’ve been my favorite cause I really really like those pickled plums
Justin Found the sound effects board since no one was sharing people food and beer with him again. :-)
Love your convenience store series. When in Japan we often get a light meal from the convenience store because it is such a good deal.
If 7Eleven in western countries were to start setting up their food offering the way they do in Japan, it would take off big time.
Love the sound of thunder in the background.
Sadly, I've never had onigiri before :(. they all looked delicious

おにぎりはローソンが好きかな〜?
元祖健康に配慮系コンビニおにぎりだしね〜♪
I love to watch these guys eat .. the food always looks awesome ...I’m hungry !! 🍙🍙
Have you guys tried the Spam one? As an Okinawan, I am just full of joy when those make it to Kanto once a year or so (like right now!).
The convenient store onigiris are so underrated. I rank them just behind Toyota as Japan's Best Products. A must try when visiting Japan.
First time I ever had Onigiri it was on a backpacking trip with friends of my mom and dad. We had them the first day in Yosemite starting the John Muir Trail. It was pickled plum. I was so hungry and it was so good.
This video is every keto practitioner's nightmare...😅
My sweet boys, I can’t tell you how JEALOUS I am from watching this video! Not only are you eating all that DELICIOUS onigiri that I can’t have right now, but you also are having thunderstorms which is one of my very favorite kinds of weather! Love and miss you both so much! 💖✨💖✨💖
I had dinner before watching this video, now I'm hungry again. 🤤 Guess I need to get a midnight snack. 😂
My fave onigiri are tuna/mayo, salmon, mentaiko mayo and konbu. They have these here in Hawaii but its not the same. They can't get the rice right.
Is ume similar in flavor to ling hing mui? I know ling hing is salty and sour with a hint of sweetness. Thanks for the fun video. It's always amazing to see the variety in Japanese convenience stores!
I missed the premium range so much. FM expanded a lot in Malaysia but they didn't bring in the premium range.
I wish there were more onigiri options where I live in the USA. There is a restaurant that just opened up recently that mostly sells onigiri that I want to try.
Great sharing. Love 🌹🙏
Is Justin afraid of storms? The thunder was very loud.
I love your husbands English accent. ))
I want to try onigiri so bad. It looks delicious! I’m going to have to try to make it.
17:30 that thunder become a great sound effects for Satoshi lol
Cool. But I'd rather eat onigiri made with love.
have you done a show where you make the grilled soy onigiri?
Sea chiki? Like chicken of the sea? Love it :D My favourite is konbu in soy sauce, which seems quite rare in Canada anyway
I caught this too 😂
My mom’s favorite onigiri is konbu.
Make this channel tabieats onigiri and sandwich.
Huhu i miss Japan so much. I love onigiri. 💕
Keep the convenience store videos coming! I’d love to see more vending machine ones as well. 😀
Hey guy's good to see you love when guy's do these kinds of video enjoy
YUMMY ONIGIRI!!!! 🙋♂️❤❤🍙🍙
Really don't understand why 7/11 here don't sell them Sydney oz they would do so good!!! Such a quick healthy snack!!!😥
We have 3 varieties in our Melbourne 7-Eleven: tuna and mayo, mushroom teriyaki and spicy salmon. Just happened to have one for lunch 😁
@@caz8168 NO WAY really!! Like the Japanese style separated norie from the rice!!!!😮
Can you show us Japanese batman 🦇 snacks 😊
Tuna mayo is my favorite onigiri!
Was Justin afraid of the thunder? I was worried about the little guy once you mentioned it was storming outside.
I think Justin is more worried that he’s not getting onigiri
Whitebait is super popular here in New Zealand! I think our variety is a native one, but I'm sure Japan's whitebait is just as delicious! Over here, we tend to eat them cooked into fritters/patties made from flour and egg. They're admittedly overpriced, but damn they're good...

I just love watching the both of you. Mahalo for sharing your vlog. I’m hungry for most of them. Yummy! 🍙🍙🍘🍘 Aloha 🌺
I love onigiris!! How did the Barley and Plum Chicken and Hijiki onigiri keeps its shape?? Is it really compressed that tightly? Love this video!
This is making me miss Japan SO much! I've had a go at making my own onigiri but it's not the same. My favourite was a limited edition one from Family Mart with chilli oil (like La Yu) inside. It was my breakfast every day in Yokohama. I was devastated when they stopped selling it!

I had onigiri for breakfast lunch & dinner at times during my last visit. Compacted transportable delicious 😋

I Love you guys. Love japan. Hope came back one day
Kisses from Brasil 😊
Pls do a video where's it's all the premium ones ☺️
ruclips.net/video/NtGwm-Se8DM/видео.html
I always like the simple traditional ones the best, konbu, yukari, okaka, umeboshi. So good!
I like that some of them dont have the seaweed cause I don't like seaweed haha I just wish all the types came with a no seaweed option.
what is different between black nori and green nori?
The Nori color difference reflects the quality of the seaweed used. Typically, the darker color means it is a higher quality.
That 2nd one looked so good. I make one similar with both barley and quinoa mixed with the rice.
It would be amazing if you could do some episode around a single theme of supermarket! Taking us to your favorite market and buying one type of food for each section (like one best frozen food, one bento, one snack etc) ♡
Feed the dog.
Ume is the best!
I love onigiri! I don't eat them too often (because carbs, hehehe), but the variety of flavors is just soooo irresistable! 🥰
I rarely go to convenience stores in America. And yet if I go back to Japan, one of the first things I'd do is go to a conbini. And Denny's.
And the best part is around 6:12, where doggo comes into the picture :)
Enjoyed your video as always :) Can't wait to go to Japan again and try some of these!
I love this series so much!
I love onigiri!
I ate so many of those kombu ones when i was in japan. I got slightly addicted. 😆
