The onigiri rice ball, Japan’s on-the-go fuel, has been around even before the samurai took them onto the battlefield. Nowadays, this humble snack is growing in popularity once again in Japan and beyond. Mouth-watering pictures on social media, a boom in Japanese tourism, and even inflation and the pandemic have led to questions on whether onigiri will surpass sushi as the world’s favourite Japanese food.
