Breakfast Onigiri (おにぎり – Rice Ball)

Onigiri, or Japanese rice balls, have been a staple breakfast item for centuries. Originating in the Heian period, samurai carried them as portable meals during battles. These rice balls are often stuffed with fillings like pickled plum (umeboshi), salmon, or tuna and wrapped in nori seaweed. Their simplicity and versatility make them a beloved morning meal.

A Japanese proverb states, “Even the hardest journey begins with a single step.” Just like onigiri, which starts with a simple handful of rice, small efforts lead to great achievements. At Munch Classes, you’ll learn how to craft perfect onigiri with balanced flavors.
