Onigiri is more than just a snack—it’s a Japanese soul food with deep roots in history. This simple handheld meal, made with rice and flavorful fillings, has been cherished for centuries. There are fossilised onigiri from ancient ruins of 2000 years ago. Also, Samurai relied on it during battles as a quick energy boost, while farmers in the Edo period enjoyed it during breaks in the fields. Families also packed onigiri for picnics beneath cherry blossoms, making it a cherished companion for special moments.

Through Pocket Rice, we are excited to introduce onigiri to a wider audience. Our aim is not only to offer a wholesome snack that complements mindful living but also to share the spirit of Japanese culture.
