hokipoki's beautiful food photography inspired me to make an onigiri lunch. the above photo is a hokipoki piece of deliciouness. the below photo is my recent onigiri lunch at home. hokipoki site, hokipoki tumblr, hokipoki flickr.
my lunch is:
hakusai no sokusekizuke (quick chinese cabbage pickle recipe via justhungry)
3 types of onigiri: ground sesame seeds, seasoned kombu filling, and dried red shiso
ajitsuke nori for eating onigiri (salt seasoned seaweed strips)
genmai-cha (brown rice tea)
i have put up the directions for making these three onigiri and more under ii-ne-kore vegetarian recipes link on the left. onigiri make a lovely wholesome lunch and of course an excellent bento item, please enjoy!

I'm loving reading your blog! I spent 5 years in Nikko and returned last month to Melbourne. Thanks for sharing Melbourne's Japanese secrets.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous lunch pics! Your onigiri lunch looks wonderful. I dragged out a multi-layered bento box I haven't used in a while yesterday. I still have some that I've never used and in their original shop wrapping :)
ReplyDeletethanks for your comment jason, it's always so great to hear from another returnee, what an amazing place to live for 5 years, so unusual, i am sure many gaijin visit nikko but not so many live there?
ReplyDeletemelbourne japan is an ongoing project - i love to hear of any other hidden\secret delights of nihon in the hometown!
excellent - you had better unwrap and get bento-ing then miss mizu :)
