OMUSUBI (ONIGIRI) Rice Ball ただのおにぎり

Have you ever watched Japanese cartoon movie 「Spirited Away」?

I like that movie. If you have watched it,  you have seen a girl 'Chihiro' was eating riceball.

that is 'ONIGIRI / OMUSUBI'!

I like that scene, and  I can't stop crying everytime  I watch it. 

Why Chihiro starts crying just after she ate Onigiri?

I think, because Onigiri is Japanese soul food,comfort food, traditional food and We are so familiar with Onigiri. So, she was relieved at the Onigiri. I understand her. that's the way it is!

So, I would love to share the Simple Onigiri recipe, sincerely. 

It's very simple. and soo easy!

You can mix Sesame, or sprikle the Rice seasoning, or put KATSUOBUSHI(bonito flakes) seasoned with soy sauce for filling.

If it's too difficult to make triangle shape, don't worry you can make a round shape, and it's so fine!

Onigiri is good for breakfast, lunch, and lunch box too.
