Hello! I am Kurihara the smile keeper or “Smikey” for short!

How are you doing now that we are past the middle of May, and we are starting to get more of the rain?

With the addition of new members in April, the office has become more lively.

This has made the competition for onigiri (rice balls) even more fierce, and Smikey has been very busy.
The total number of rice balls I have made so far exceeds 20,000!🍙🍙🍙

Today, we would like to introduce some of these very popular rice balls.

Started Onigiri Instagram!

Onigiri Instagram has started in February 2023 to document the daily onigiri.

The popular onigiri that runs out in a minute

Onigiri appear in the central kitchen around 5 p.m. on weekdays!

Hungry members are drawn by the “scent” wafting through the office. Some even come running…lol.

Now let me introduce you to the popular onigiri.

This onigiri contains Korean seaweed, kimchi, pickled radish, and tuna. We tried to make it a strong flavor onigiri that is perfect for hunger.

Seasoned onigiri were popular, but simple salted onigiri with seaweed were also very popular. Some members say “simple is the best.”

We usually only served fish-based dishes like salmon, but since we had canned mackerel, we tried it out and turned out to be such a delicious onigiri!
The addition of ginger with the mackerel made the onigiri such a refreshing taste.

Extra

Spam Onigiri

 

The combination of rice and meat is a no doubter. This onigiri was targeted from the time I was cooking the meat lol. Spam Onigiri has become a very popular onigiri that you have to run for it.

I made sushi rice with handmade seasonings and made slightly sweetened Inari Sushi. Many of the members loved Inari Sushi! I would like to make it again for them.

Japan’s National Baseball Team won the WBC this March. To celebrate, we made Baseball Onigiri in the central kitchen. Some members were taking pictures while holding the onigiri lol!

How did you like it?The popular onigiris that disappears in just one minute!

As mentioned in the Extra, I also make onigiri that match the season and events. I hope you can enjoy the season even in the office through these onigiri. 

I am so grateful to our members who always enjoy my delicious onigiri. I will keep doing our best in making onigiri to keep smiles on their faces!
