onigiri
If you’re worried about additives in convenience store food, this rice ball set is for you.
We try all five flavors of the “Hyakunigiri” Kyoto steak restaurant collaborative product to see if they’ll really rice up our lives.
Today in the SoraKitchen, we push the melon bread envelope with melon bread filled with onigiri, mochi, and even ramem.
Shohei Ohtani is the ambassador for this new collaboration, and we’ve got the scoop on whether it’s worth spending money on.
We try out three flavors to see if cramming an entire lunch into a rice ball is truly a genius idea or just another gimmick.
