Onigiri!!!

I love onigiri. These are carbs which I tend to stay away from. But I can't reject pilaf and Japanese rice. I LOVE onigiri. Truly. And this is onigiri-land. So many different kinds! I don't need the freshly made ones or anything exquisite. Just those found in the supermarkets or convenience stores are good enough to satiate a craving. Each time we walk into a convenience store, the friends will find me in front of the shelves of onigiri, drooling.

Since we're walking quite a fair bit in the city, sometimes we buy it as a snack in between destinations for a boost of energy. The size of one is just about right for a light lunch on-the-go. They've got all sorts of filling in there. Luckily we can understand what the labels say. We do know how to read Japanese, and by that, I don't mean cheating by reading the kanji. We haven't entirely forgotten what went on in the long-ago Japanese lessons. The bff's Japanese, is way more fluent than mine though. She makes frequent trips to Japan and is familiar with the city, enough to stop me from doing the rude thing of eating and walking at the same time.

So. I've been eating an onigiri a day. Absolutely awesome. Hehehhheehhe.
