7-Fresh Onigiri
Onigiri is a staple breakfast or snack food in Japan. The sandwich-like rice ball, which is also commonly formed into a triangle, has a rich history dating back almost two millennia to the Yayoi Period (200 B.C. to A.D. 250), when references to grilled sticky rice balls first appeared.
These Japanese rice balls have become the go-to food for many busy Japanese people because they’re affordable, accessible, and convenient to eat anywhere. And despite its seemingly plain appearance, the onigiri can be stuffed with various ingredients, making it an exciting and delicious dish.

Now you can enjoy this Japanese staple convenience snack at 7-Eleven stores. You can choose between Salmon Mayo Onigiri (Php 55) and Tuna Mayo Onigiri (Php 50).
How to open the 7-Fresh Japanese onigiri:
- Pull the top tab labeled “1” until the whole strip around the onigiri is removed.
- Grab the second tab and slowly slide it off.
- Gently pull the last corner to avoid tearing the seaweed cover.
- Enjoy your onigiri!
Maki, also known as “makizushi,” which means sushi rolls, is another Japanese food staple. Compared to the onigiri, the maki is a relatively new dish, believed to have first appeared in Japanese cuisine in the latter half of the Edo period (1603-1867).
