Pronunciation of nigiri

I’m listening to a book in which the narrator pronounced “nigiri” as “nijiri” (soft g/j sound). Otherwise, the narration has been very good about the pronunciation of non-English words.

It’s been close to 30 years since I lived in Japan, so I was wondering if there was some pronunciation shift that I missed. I’m guessing it’s no, but I want to make sure the pronunciation was truly wrong before I write my review.
