ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Onigiri

Onigiri is a yummy Japanese snack that you can eat with your hands! It's made up of rice that is shaped into a small ball or triangle and often has delicious fillings like fish, vegetables or pickled plums inside. Think of it like a yummy rice sandwich - but instead of bread, you use rice! Onigiri are often wrapped in seaweed paper, which makes them easy to hold and adds a yummy, salty taste to each bite. People in Japan often pack Onigiri in their lunches or eat them as a quick snack on the go!
