How To Eat An Onigiri From A Japanese Convinience Store?

When you go to Japan, it seems that everyone is on hurry. And by that comes food in which you can eat in hurry, especially when you are on sightseeing and you want to maximize every second of your trip.

Worry no more because Japan has lot to offer when it comes to instant foods. Every block, you can spot a convinience store called "combini" in Japanese in where you can buy from chips to rice meals.

One of the most popular food in Japan is the Onigiri. They even have a special lunch bag shaped just for this meal. It is a rice shaped like a triangle with different viands inside it. It is wrapped in seaweed and then sealed by a plastic.

It is a little confusing on how to open it in a way that you dont mess up the seaweed wrapping around it. Instructions are written below.

But for further demo, here's how:

1. Peel of the part where number "1" is written. Usually, it is the top part.

2. Go all the way down and around the back until you peel off a strip in the middle part.

3. Pull off the sides labeled "2" and "3".

4. Take a bite and enjoy! I recommed Tuna Mayo Onigiri! :)
