EPIC Onigiri Taste Test | FAMILY MART Convenience Store

[@grannypeacock1218]

Recently, I had leftover refried beans and cheese and rice so I made a Mexican onigiri to take to work for lunch 🇲🇽🍙🇲🇽

[@jackiwest3871]

Omg great idea

[@TeruteruBozusama]

That sounds really tasty 💕

[@pierogiesAndKielbasa]

Love it!!!

[@seonkawari1253]

😁👍

[@RequiemJr]

Try it with mole.

[@luckyguy71]

This was fun but makes me miss Japan even more. I loved being able to go into Lawson or Family Mart and pick up something when I didn't feel like going to a restaurant. I'm the same as Shinichi with Ume. If I don't feel well or if I have an upset stomach, ume always makes me feel better. I will even make tea with ume sometimes.

[@mizzwycked7931]

I do the same thing with ume, I learned it from my mom👍🏼

[@tiredapplestar]

Ume, miso, and ginger are amazing when you’re sick...or hungover.

[@DrthmN]

17:30 that thunder become a great sound effects for Satoshi lol

[@jasonbabila6006]

The tuna onigiri was my favorite growing up in Hawaii.

[@Neerepha]

Since you talked about dates in the last bread video, I'd like to let you know that I really appreciate the little "history" behind it. If you could include more facts about dishes (year of creation, story etc) it would be wonderful for us 💖

[@AA-eh7co]

The convenient store onigiris are so underrated. I rank them just behind Toyota as Japan's Best Products. A must try when visiting Japan.

[@ThePiperrox]

My sweet boys, I can’t tell you how JEALOUS I am from watching this video! Not only are you eating all that DELICIOUS onigiri that I can’t have right now, but you also are having thunderstorms which is one of my very favorite kinds of weather! Love and miss you both so much! 💖✨💖✨💖

[@agnesefiocchi8604]

It would be amazing if you could do some episode around a single theme of supermarket! Taking us to your favorite market and buying one type of food for each section (like one best frozen food, one bento, one snack etc) ♡

[@Catglittercrafts]

I think that second one or last one would’ve been my favorite cause I really really like those pickled plums

[@maitai4476]

Keep the convenience store videos coming! I’d love to see more vending machine ones as well. 😀

[@christinachavez3362]

I wish there were more onigiri options where I live in the USA. There is a restaurant that just opened up recently that mostly sells onigiri that I want to try.

[@rosesb]

I loved eating onigiri when I was in Japan😭😭 I think I ate at least 2 everyday as a snack lol .. Onigiri is just not the same in Canada😢

[@wich1]

I always like the simple traditional ones the best, konbu, yukari, okaka, umeboshi. So good!

[@jackiwest3871]

That 2nd one looked so good. I make one similar with both barley and quinoa mixed with the rice.

[@LitzysDelight]

I really hope I one day can travel to Japan... it's been such a dream to experience the country and the food

[@gwynplaine6710]

I can imagine my sad little face, that moment you say I'm so hungry and your Japanese friend winks at you and says ''leave this to me'' comes back with rice and salmon wrapped in seaweed!!! ..... He died so young!

[@admenocal]

Justin wants! I live going to Japan and getting onigiri.

[@oPeRa1923]

I love onigiri! I don't eat them too often (because carbs, hehehe), but the variety of flavors is just soooo irresistable! 🥰

[@foomp]

I remember that separated nori onigiri from Family Mart was one of the first things I ate when I went to Japan. Was, and still kind of am, not a huge fan of nori, but that was awesome. There was also another one that the nori ripped away super easily. Like how cotton candy would. I don't remember what that was though, other than (I think) having salmon in it. If for whatever reason you guys haven't tried the Lawson swiss roll though, you really need to. It's the one that has says mochi as part of the name. Ugh that thing is easily one of my favorite things to eat in Japan. Must buy every single time.

[@feslenraster]

Poor Justin must've been scared silly by the thunder :(. most of the dogs I've had my entire life was scared silly by it-except the white one my thumbnail! Also, sadly, I've never had onigiri before. they all looked delicious. these convenience store vids are awesome, please keep them up!

[@myladyash]

Oh that Tako meshi onigri looks delicious!

[@perdomot]

My fave onigiri are tuna/mayo, salmon, mentaiko mayo and konbu. They have these here in Hawaii but its not the same. They can't get the rice right.

[@pc6879]

I missed the premium range so much. FM expanded a lot in Malaysia but they didn't bring in the premium range.

[@jacqig6641]

I’m not supposed to eat rice or noodles but 🤯🤤 this look soooo yummy! I really want to visit Japan 🤭

[@immakatlady8243]

Wow! They all looked so good, but I’ve always shied away from anything with umeboshi in it...guess I am always afraid it will be too sour. But, you’ve convinced me to give a try the next chance I get! Thank your for sharing! 💟

[@60frederick]

I love onigiri!

[@jonwashburn7999]

You two make me so jealous! Thanks for the video.

[@nickstoli]

I rarely go to convenience stores in America. And yet if I go back to Japan, one of the first things I'd do is go to a conbini. And Denny's.

Great sharing. Love 🌹🙏

[@holotori_senior_admin_teno]

I loved the onigiri reviews! They're definitely something you just cannot find over here, and my attempts at making them have been few and lacking in ingredients.

[@feslenraster]

Sadly, I've never had onigiri before :(. they all looked delicious poor Justin must've been scared by the thunder! I know all the dogs I've ever had, except the white one in my thumbnail, was scared silly by them

[@JH-tu3sv]

Puppy wants onigiri!!!!

[@ryansheehan440]

Never been to Japan or having had these, my questions are - 1. I assume they are kept cold, so why isn't the rice hard and dry? Do you let them warm to room temp. or heat them up slightly? 2. It looks like there is way more rice than filling. Is that make it sort of bland? 3. How large exactly are these (in ounce or grams)? 4. Do you ever dip them in any soy or other sauce?

[@mandydee77]

Ume is the best!

[@lynnkihara2323]

Is Justin afraid of storms? The thunder was very loud.

[@NikkiM93]

I like that some of them dont have the seaweed cause I don't like seaweed haha I just wish all the types came with a no seaweed option.

[@momonakokeshi6325]

Those onigiri looks so delicious. I would choose the time too. Today, I ate kari kari ume onigiri with multi grain rice and mochiko chicken on the side, so I wasn't too hungry watching you guys today. I wonder what takoyaki with the mayonnaise and bonito flakes would taste like.

[@katherineyanagihara2909]

Aloha, I used to make a tuna onigiri which my family loved! All of those onigiri looked so good! Aloha nou!

[@larryhernandez1923]

Mindy's Mom is # 1 .. I will tell you, she is one of your top moderators! Much love and respect to Schinichi and Satoshi. Keep up the wonderful work you guy's continually do, video after video.🍡

[@shannondore]

Wow! Didn't know there was so many different choices. 🍙😋

[@MichellePondueCruz]

So jealous! I love onigiri and thunderstoms! I hope Justin isn't afraid of the thunder, though. My cats tend to hide when they hear the first clap.

[@jh9304]

How do you decide which ones you will use for the video? These all look so good! Is there a big difference between what you get at Family Mart and Lawson?

[@TabiEats]

All the convenience stores make similar ones, but different in terms of how they cook the rice, how much filling they include, what ingredients they use etc. it’s quite interesting for us as well

[@rlsimpso]

Those all look good. I had not heard of some of those flavors. Convenience store food is no where near that in the US.

[@Skenjin]

Convenience store food here is such garbage, and crazy expensive for what it is! Better off eating the crap from fast food joints than from a convenience store, better price and quality.

[@penonatsvenonats1885]

I love onigiri it's taste like good and tasty and delicious food

[@ezquimal]

How many different umeboshi are? Obachan give me ume like cherry but I see ume with different color like pink.

[@TabiEats]

There are many varieties of umeboshi. Not sure how many varieties there are

[@ezquimal]

@@TabiEats thanks the cherry ume obachan give us when we have flu with a bowl with udon and watered rice

[@wendylissolo9783]

Could you add rice to your takoyaki batter I wonder??

[@TabiEats]

I guess you could

[@MichellePondueCruz]

I like to use crispy rice cereal, since I don't usually have the bits of tempura batter.

[@كوخعندالشاطيء]

Feed the dog.

[@ssirin]

Any time I have onigiri I always feel like I'm instantly transported to Japan. Luckily Thailand has a large community of Japanese expats so it's quite easy to find oginiri with various fillings at supermarkets. I still miss sitting in a park or by the river in small Japanese towns just enjoying onigiri and a bottle of tea!

[@lou2be247]

That first "itadakimasu" was in perfect harmony

[@CeliaHakusho]

When I visited Japan in 2019, I found that I liked Family Mart's onigiri and sandwiches the most.

[@JoeOG]

I like the Lawson onigiri most.

[@HikaruRain]

That rumble was thunder. I thought it was someone's stomach asking for more salmon.......... >.>

[@TeruteruBozusama]

They just don't have a normal stomach and a desert belly, but a salmon stomach as well?

[@AaronSpielman]

Onigiri is one of my absolute favorite snacks, and I cannot get them where I now live. I'm going to have to learn how to make them, I suppose.

[@5chevin5]

Im moving back to Tokyo in June, will be looking for Satoshi's Takoyaki Onigiri shop! (oiishi so!)

[@kathlinemoore7810]

I remember my momma making this with the sour plum...I love these

[@Over60sowhat]

Ok, now Satoshi is starting to age in reverse! Spring must be good for you both!

[@jasonfanclub4267]

I love onigiri. Because japanese food is trendy you can now buy it in our country but they're expensive and have no taste

[@alanjames7877]

We need convenience store onigiri so bad in the states. Yum!

[@wendylissolo9783]

My son (a chef) has become a Mayo snob. He orders the Kewpie Mayo from Japan. He won’t eat any other now. Lol. ❤️

[@Nixx0912]

Have he tried making mayo? It's not very hard but you havecto stir a lot.

[@jujubi1050]

美味しそう！！！うらやましい！！🤤😋Someone asked me why we call Onigiri "Riceballs" when they are triangle and that they should be called "Rice Triangles". I tried to tell them that when you make them at home they are more round but they were not satisfied with my answer. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@joyceyamamoto5452]

Loved this taste test!❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️

[@Foton4164]

I love ume and onigiri. The first thing what I always do when I arriwe to Japan, I looking for the closest conviniant store to the airport, buy a couple of onigiri and a sapporo beer, and I know I arriwed to the right place. O how I miss Japan, I hope at the end of this year I will be able to visit again. 2020 trip was canceled unfortuanetly.

[@Sam_BVB]

Im a Vegetarien and I live in Germany. We have Holidays and i want to go Tommorow in the Asia Markt and buy Onigiri. I Love the Colture of Japan.

[@ivykaneshiro7554]

I ‘m like you both Umeboshi musubi is the best,,, I Hawaii there’s a good musubi called happy rice. It’s made with nametake, shiofuki konbu and edamane.. sooo so good. It’s like mazegohan and all you need is takuwan or any tsukemono. Ask Niki if she knows about. If you need the recipe, I’m more than happy to share with you all. You made me die for a musubi. I’ll make me one right now. Yummmm

[@seanp401]

You guys must gain weight regularly making all these konbini videos

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

I like it when Yakiniku places serves plain onigiri with Shoyu at the side and we bbq it over the charcoal fire

[@pierogiesAndKielbasa]

Sounds incredible.

[@PyroDraco91]

Do you thought about giving your dog food, while you are filming, to keep him busy? That's how I got rid of my dog making noises all the time, while I eat next to him.

[@RegstarRogstar]

i usually follow your other silent channel, but i wanna drop by here to say for the two of you, happy gay marriage ruling in japan!!!! 😄😄😄😄🎊🎉 And talking about onigiris im so interested in tasting one with mochi rice. And ones that are grilled! These seem great too

[@TabiEats]

Thank you!

[@lorettaamstad591]

I am the worst Onigiri maker, failed many times and then I call my japanese friend Chef ex Nobu Chef and he always sends me his homemade Onigiri because I’m begging while crying. I’m always spoilt! Everyone loves Loretta in Bali

[@despairia]

Love the sound of thunder in the background.

[@ndwolfwood09]

The onigiris in Japan's convenience stores have way more filling than the US ones! It's like 3-4x times more! They're also more fresh, the ones I've tried are all cold and hard rice...

[@janggau185]

Justin Found the sound effects board since no one was sharing people food and beer with him again. :-)

[@brucetownsend691]

Love your convenience store series. When in Japan we often get a light meal from the convenience store because it is such a good deal. If 7Eleven in western countries were to start setting up their food offering the way they do in Japan, it would take off big time.

[@suelovescats]

I love to watch these guys eat .. the food always looks awesome ...I’m hungry !! 🍙🍙

[@lalilulelo]

Tuna mayo is my favorite onigiri!

[@shampoovta]

First time I ever had Onigiri it was on a backpacking trip with friends of my mom and dad. We had them the first day in Yosemite starting the John Muir Trail. It was pickled plum. I was so hungry and it was so good.

[@RoninDays]

Have you guys tried the Spam one? As an Okinawan, I am just full of joy when those make it to Kanto once a year or so (like right now!).

[@TheLadyLuck523]

Is ume similar in flavor to ling hing mui? I know ling hing is salty and sour with a hint of sweetness. Thanks for the fun video. It's always amazing to see the variety in Japanese convenience stores!

[@shubho1955]

I had dinner before watching this video, now I'm hungry again. 🤤 Guess I need to get a midnight snack. 😂

Sea chiki? Like chicken of the sea? Love it :D My favourite is konbu in soy sauce, which seems quite rare in Canada anyway

I caught this too 😂

[@Foxys10]

I want to try onigiri so bad. It looks delicious! I’m going to have to try to make it.

Cool. But I'd rather eat onigiri made with love.

[@HayTatsuko]

Onigiri are just another example of how a simple culinary platform can host SO many good tastes. A lot of these sounded _really_ nice. Poor Justin seemed really upset by the *don don don* action going on outside. Does he dislike storms?

[@jenniferhanson4828]

Was Justin afraid of the thunder? I was worried about the little guy once you mentioned it was storming outside.

[@admenocal]

I think Justin is more worried that he’s not getting onigiri

[@ZekeDidNothingWrong]

Whitebait is super popular here in New Zealand! I think our variety is a native one, but I'm sure Japan's whitebait is just as delicious! Over here, we tend to eat them cooked into fritters/patties made from flour and egg. They're admittedly overpriced, but damn they're good... (All of these onigiri look delicious, this one just caught my attention...)

[@RichardStefanits]

And the best part is around 6:12, where doggo comes into the picture :)

[@xxxvvvqqq]

what is different between black nori and green nori?

[@jeffchan7]

The Nori color difference reflects the quality of the seaweed used. Typically, the darker color means it is a higher quality.
