Food We Ate : My Son's Favourite Lunch On-The-Go

It's pretty easy feeding my son during our vacation in Japan because what he likes to eat can pretty much be found everywhere; from the nearest konbini to depachika to food courts.

It's a food item that can be easily eaten while on-the-go and we appreciate the convenience. What is it? It's onigiri!

Onigiri, also known as Omusubi, is a snack of Japanese rice formed into triangle or oval shapes and often wrapped in nori (edible seaweed). Onigiri traditionally is filled with umeboshi, salted salmon or bonito flakes moistened with soy sauce. Of course, there are plenty of other fillings to choose from now.
