What’s ONIGIRI? Onigiri (or Omusubi) is Japanese soul food. From simple rice balls for school lunches or a picnic, to various versions that are sold at convenience stores, onigiri holds a special place in everyone’s heart. In recent years, this ultimate Japanese comfort food has been becoming very popular worldwide. It’s been the most popular food sold through my catering business, Kozmo Kitchen. This popular Onigiri making class is now available in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood. I am super excited to see many people learn and love the Japanese soul food, ONIGIRI.
