onigiri
, also known as , or rice ball, is a Japanese food made from white rice formed into triangular or cylinder shapes and often wrapped in ''nori'' (seaweed). Traditionally, an onigiri is filled with pickled ume (''umeboshi''), salted salmon, katsuobushi, kombu, tarako, or any other salty or sour ingredient as a natural preservative. Because of the popularity of onigiri in Japan, most convenience stores stock their onigiri with various fillings and flavors. There are even specialized shops which only sell onigiri to take out. Due to its popularity in Japan, the trend of small restaurants selling onigiri has traveled to the American West coast, specifically California.
==Overview==
Despite common misconceptions, onigiri is not a form of sushi. Onigiri is made with plain rice (sometimes lightly salted), while sushi is made of rice with vinegar, sugar and salt. Onigiri makes rice portable and easy to eat as well as preserving it, while sushi originated as a way of preserving fish.
Onigiri are also found in many convenience stores in Hong Kong, mainland China, Taiwan, South Korea, Switzerland, New York City, London, and parts of California.
