Japan’s humble onigiri takes over lunchtimes around the world

1. Nobody will realise how radical an onigiri was at lunchtime 25 years ago.

2. Wow! A ball of rice!

3. Sounds like its mostly because of this part

   > Anastasia says. “They’re cheap

   COL is rising across developed countries and layoffs (esp in the US) are hitting even white collar workers. People are cutting costs and paying for cheaper and decent foods is one display of this tbh.

4. In Canada we make onigiri with bread and call them sandwiches 🥪

5. I have yet to see onigiri being sold anywhere in my area located in the U.S unfortunately. It would be cool to try them.

   Every time I see an image of one, that notoriously bad translation in Pokémon just pops into my head. “These donuts are great. Everybody loves a jelly filled donut.”
