Each and every Onigiri are made with carefully selected ingredients to experience the best of our rice.

Rice

Fresh Rice Yasuda uses high quality Japanese rice sourced from trusted, well rated crops. Evaluated under the expertise of a certified rice meister to ensure top quality, we select rice that brings out great texture and authentic flavor. We focus on freshness and quality, to make sure every onigiri has a delicious and genuine taste.

Salt

To bring out the full sweetness of the rice, we use Moshio (or Mojio) from “Seto nai kai” (Seto Inland Sea) for our Onigiri. Along with the high minerals, seaweed in the salt confers additional “Umami” flavor. It’s called “Moshio” because “藻 Mo” means seaweed and “塩 Shio” means salt in Japanese. Moshio has a unique flavor—salty, slightly sweet, and umami-rich from seaweed and seawater minerals.

Nori

High quality Nori seaweed from Japan individually prepacked to seal the flavor and the crispiness. Wrapping it on the Onigiri just before eating keeps the Nori crisp and tasty, which matches best with our rice, completing our perfect Onigiri.
