From tempura and sashimi to yakitori and mochi, it’s no secret that Singaporeans love Japanese food. The next time you’re hankering for a quick bite and want to sink your teeth into a dish that hails from the Land of the Rising Sun, how about some onigiri or onigirazu?
Most people would be familiar with onigiri – triangle-shaped, rice-based snacks that are normally stuffed with a single filling (cooked salmon, fried chicken, umeboshi, ikura, etc.) and wrapped in crispy seaweed. The past couple of years have also seen the introduction of onigirazu to Singapore, where ingredients are moulded into a flat, sandwich-like shape. Whatever your preference, here’s where you can try the healthy and satisfying treat.
