Those jelly filled donuts look delicious. Nothing beats a jelly filled donut.

[@jaredf6205]

I still remember seeing that when I was 7 and it stuck out to me as weird then. I didn't know what it was, but I definitely couldn't figure out how it could be a jelly donut.

So much delicious variety! It's amazing how sometimes small differences in the rice, the seasoning, and/or the ingredients can make such a big difference in flavor. Thank you, Shinichi and Satoshi, for taking us on this Kyoto onigiri adventure. 💙💙

[@turkishdelight600]

Love your channel, it makes my day so much brighter when I watch your videos, especially on a bad day. Much respect!

[@snowpea11]

the crunch of the bigger nori sheets 😍 looks delicious

[@jh9304]

I love onigiri!! Thank you for this video ❤

[@yasojayawardhana2066]

Loving the Kyoto series....thank you!!!!!

[@tarkovtxusa6626]

Learning about Japanese rice now. It's amazing that, in some cases, the farmer's name is even on the rice. We split our time between Japanese rice and Thai Jasmine rice and I appreciate the artisan approach that the Japanese take to their rice. Their hard work and pride comes through in the quality and flavor of their rice. Currently working on a bag of Yumepirika rice from Hokkaido farmed by Eiki Mano- simply amazing, recommend you try it if you haven't already.

Sitting by the river in Kyoto is one of our favourite places 😍 looking forward to visiting in a few weeks from the UK. Thankyou for always sharing amazing experiences 😊 we love to follow you guys!Can't wait to see more 🎉🎉🎉

[@JuancaLopV]

Yum yum yum 😋 The crispy nori sound, OMGOSH

[@SonOfWat]

When life get's to be a bit much I watch your videos and they calm me and allow me to get back to making music. Thank you muchly to you both.

[@hillaryg4yle]

I live in Arkansas in the US. When I was young we had no access to ANYTHING even remotely Japanese. If I had known we'd have several Japanese restaurants in my town when I grew up, I would've been so excited. Now though, all I want is to try the different onigiri I still don't have access to! Always wanting what we can't have!

[@mindysmom6132]

Hiii! Onigiri is sooooo natsukashi for me. It was always our road trip snack whenever we would travel as kids, and even now as adults, I find myself making onigiri bentos for our long road trips……. Okaka was and still is my favorite. Whereas I love umeboshi now as an adult, I couldn’t stand it as a child. Each and every one of those onigiri that you both had, looked mecha oishisou! I never thought to mix chirimen, yuzu, and sansho into an onigiri though. YUM! When we were kids, we always loved ajitsuke nori too! We would eat it straight out of the packaging. I bought spicy salmon onigiri yesterday. It’s quickly replacing mentaiko as my #2 favorite onigiri. Thank you for taking us along on your onigiri adventure in Kyoto. I can’t wait to see your vlog of Kiyomizu-Dera Temple. Brother Satoshi…..I’m loving your new glasses! Kakkoii desu ne! Take care both of you, ne! ❤❤

[@CigarAttache]

Absolutely love Kyoto ❤

[@wheelsofmisfortune3162]

A couple of months ago I sat on the river in Kyoto eating onigiri and those huge Kite Falcon looking birds swooped down, smacked me in the back of the head with his wing and stole my onigiri right out of my hand. Be careful! Eating under the bridge is definitely recommended!

[@walterpixley1]

Love you guys and your videos!! I will be in Japan for a month! 1st Stop will be Kyoto and I cannot wait to use your videos to find great food!

[@pierogiesAndKielbasa]

I would love any of these I am totally sure!

[@mcmelbourne5927]

I loved this video, all the onigiri looked delicious! I'm in Sapporo at the moment & I have been trying different onigiri each day.

[@PREPFORIT]

I love Onigiri. It is very popular in the 7-11's in Thailand too,

[@007007gf]

All looked oishii. And I appreciate that you compare just the rice too. Thanks Shinichi and Satoshi.

[@bleu_ace1200]

Yuuum! Makes me happy that I bought supplies to make my own mentaiko-mayo onigiri at home. You both are making me so hungry! There's a Japanese market near where I live that is run by a couple of ladies who are from Hokkaido, and I am so grateful to them deciding to set their business here.

[@astroboy3507]

Yes JAPAN and kyoto!!!! Nice vid guys!!! Love 🍙

[@sammypigeot5797]

❤ always positive ❤ always love. Blessings😊

[@fuzzyx2face]

All of this looks delicious! I love onigiri and musubi. I’m making musubi with spam tonight 😊 I made it with chicken thighs last weekend.

[@monfisch]

I love the last musubi place. I was in Kyoto for almost a month and bought from that stand a couple times a week.

[@PamelaProPeace]

Loved that you sat by the Kamo River to eat your snack. It was my favourite place for taking a quiet lunch break - until that one time when it wasn't so quiet! Sitting on the steps I was enjoying a sushi take-away when I was suddenly dive-bombed by one of the black kites that inhabit the river area! After recovering from the shock, my first thought was, darn - I wish I could have caught that on camera. The kite flew away empty beaked as he had only succeeded in knocking my food on to the steps. I stayed to finish my retrieved lunch with camera poised in the hope the kite would have another attempt - but I guess he found easier pickings elsewhere!

[@tamara4557]

These looks delicious!!! I would like to visit all these shops! The onigiri set with soup! Indeed the location is great for a meal begore you explore Higashiyama or afterwards (I usually start my day at Kuyomizu dera and end at Yasaka shrine). And such a great idea pf the second and third shop to sell nori seperately. Not only stays the nori crispy, at this shop my husband can eat onigiri as well as he doesn't eat seaweed. And I just love crispy nori. Chestnut onigiri! I love to try that! And shrip and tamagoyakim and tamago yaki.... I'm getting hungry! It's nice to see that you can eat in most of these shops. I usually see take out places. I only know one onigiri shop and that is in Otsuka in Tokyo.

[@magusonline]

Looking forward to your next destination in Japan. I went to Kinosaki with my girlfriend because of your video. She loved it there ❤

[@imjayhime]

Ughhh I love onigiri. I’d be happy enough with the last one. Mentaiko’s the best

[@PamelaProPeace]

Great video as usual 😘 - and just in time as in less than two weeks I will be starting a 3 week stay in Kyoto!

[@danamaxineyandt980]

Thanks!

[@TabiEats]

Arigato!!!

[@normamejias6587]

Love Onigiri. Kyoto is so beautiful.

[@ThatGirl-tg7wd]

Onigiri been my favorite treat and snack since way back when NYC WTC twin towers had a shop in the concourse when I would grab and go to the subway in college. Japanese memories from NYC .. very unusual but real and true. NYC is the world's little get together ❤️ I miss the place and the food. I Now expanded my Japanese food tastes so much more. Onigiri always stays special ❤️

[@MarcGriffin-o7w]

Hey guys, I went to Unimaru after watching this video. To die for! I picked up 5 different onigiri and had a feast. Arigoto Gozaimasu!

[@jasminaalm]

This is the ultimate comfort food. I'll never stop until I get the rice right !

[@oliviacpandey]

I have tried the one with the 3 shrimp and tamago with the shiso leaf it’s so perfect👌🩷

[@pamelagordon869]

Morning guys love you both so much ❤❤❤❤❤

[@SreypichTVShow]

Onigiri rice ball is very wonderful for me, really good tasty, friend👌👍😍

[@shannondore]

I love pickled plum and chestnuts so out of what you ate here today I would like those flavors the best. 🍙😋 But my favorite onigiri was the cute onigiri versions of you guys that were made. I wanted them so bad but couldn't get my order to go through.😭

[@dtna]

I haven't been to Kyoto in many years!

[@AlanS808]

We’ll be in Kyoto in November and would love to try some onigiri. I’m leaning towards Sankaku and my wife towards Hagama Pakupaku, though both look delicious. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@leena3175]

❤❤❤yum!

[@pikakerose]

japan has the best rice my mouth is watering thinking of musubi i enjoyed your video

[@debracantrell1058]

WOW love these videos like to try all the Rice Balls take care 😘😘❤️🤩😍🥰🌈🌹💯🙏

[@tonray9395]

OMG ..seriously guys...I gained 5 kilos just watching you eat ! How in the world do you do it !?

[@kathkwilts]

If I had any nori in the house, I’d be making onigiri right now…

[@punklejunk]

Shinichi: 14:34 (crunches down on his onigiri with amazing seaweed) = 😋💥🍱 Me: (chomps down on a microwaved potato because i'm too lazy to make rice at midnight) = 🥴 🥔 "I'm trying to keep up Shinichi, this is as close as I get, lol"

[@awoFalase]

I love onigiri! 😋😋😋

[@jaredf6205]

My favorite onigiri will always be marinated kombu. Thenfirst thing i do in Jaoan when i get there is look for one.

[@wheelsofmisfortune3162]

I can't believe you didn't visit Aoonigiri! Actually amazing onigiri made by a super nice guy! He calls himself the blue devil! However these days I think that he's mostly take away only. Recommend next time youre in Kyoto

[@Tommie198888]

I would appreciate knowing the price per person. We are visiting Kyoto in a couple of months. I always appreciate knowing this when watching your amazing videos. 😃 😊

[@ScribbleScrabbless]

Looks delicious, if anyone knows where to get Onigiri in Portland please let me know 😊

[@elizabethhostetter1946]

Interesting . . . in my university 日本語 classes, おにぎりwas the gloss given to 'rice ball'. But i grew up using おむすび, and the instructors didn't seem to mind when i used it. i thought perhaps it was a Honshu vs Kyushu thing (母 was from Ōita) - but now i see the signs say "おむすび". Why is only おにぎり taught to second-language students? (i'd have to explain to classmates every time that i am a heritage speaker, but the university does not offer 日本語 as a heritage language, though it does Korean and Vietnamese. i have not had my mother to speak with since high school, so am extremely rusty.)

[@Kortik]

what prefecture is the rice from? and what kind of rice is it?

[@tfrtrouble]

Could you please write the (ideally) Japanese names or a website or googlemaps link in the description. It is very difficult to copy over the long names on the screen without mistakes by hand, and even then, you sometimes get no google results (like the second place). A name to copy over would make this much easier.

[@lannifincoris6482]

Oh Yes that would be so nice! I will be in Kyoto from 31th Oct to 5to Nov! And two days later in Tokyo!

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

There’s a Triforce on the sign! 😮

[@eatlikealocal]

In Japanese history, that triangular symbol represented the Hōjō clan - a powerful Samurai family that controlled the Kamakura Shogunate between the 13th and 14th Centuries. That symbol's design continues to be used as a motif throughout Japanese culture.

[@asprywrites]

I can see Momo's house from here! 😂

[@ricodemarco]

nothing from nishiki market?

[@ranger2083]

"Take one shiiit"

[@dikamenrider6030]

i love onigiri but i have seafood allergy QwQ

[@fuzzyx2face]

You can make it homemade with other fillings like chicken, beef, vegetarian, anything you want

[@sharonchandler4185]

Shinichi and Satoshi, I have a huge problem. My partner is hugely and very allergic to rice. I'd pay anything to have rice, onigiri, all of it, but he can't have rice. Both of you or either of you, what would you substitute for rice in meals?

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

Oh, my goodness! I feel so bad for your partner being allergic to rice. Some things I thing might be a good sustitute would be barley, couscous, Israeli couscous, quinoa, or hemp hearts. I’m diabetic and the Keto Twins channel had a recipe for using hemp hearts as a substitute for rice. I haven’t tried it yet, but I did buy the hemp hearts so I can make it soon. I’d say couscous might be the best substitute to try to make onigiri since it would likely hold together best. It gets a little sticky when you cook it.

[@mcmelbourne5927]

I think barley would be good, it's similar size & texture to rice for onigiri. @@tarabooartarmy3654
