1. Use some protection (Wear your gloves)
Boy oh boy! Unless you want your hands to look like a sticky, saucy disaster zone and have rice grains clinging to you like an overly attached ex, you might want to suit up. Many have tried. None have succeeded. Eating our onigiri with your bare hands will have you wishing you never had hands in the first place, ye Silly Billy!
2. Cover Your Onigiri In Sauce (Everything’s Good By The Way)
Here goes the next step. Are you a fiend for something zesty, salty, or spicy? Well, squeeze out to your heart’s content!
Whether you are the type who craves a fiery kick and goes straight for the Crying Thaiger Sriracha, or you prefer the deep, smoky sweetness of yakiniku sauce, you are in for a treat. And if you are feeling adventurous, give that special house blend a try because mystery always adds a little excitement to life.
3. Eat your Onigiri (duh?) Just Joking, Bite On The Side To Get Even Fillings
Moment of truth. Get ready to activate some neurons in your brain when your taste buds meet the perfect balance of flavors and textures. The crispy nori, the fluffy rice, the rich and savory filling, it all comes together in one glorious bite.
Pair it with a drink?
If you really want to take things up a notch, pair your onigiri with one of our refreshing beverages to wash it all down.
Try a Peach Fizz or Blueberry Fizz if you’re in the mood for something fruity and bubbly. Craving something creamy? The Melon Soy Milk Beverage or Uncultured Milk might just hit the spot.
And for those who take their tea seriously, we have Beginner’s Matcha for a level 6 experience or Matcha for Pros if you’re ready to handle level 9 intensity.
