Description
A popular store that attracts many customers every day. It’s… a magical onigiri shop! Before the store opens, you can hear some voices of food waiting to be made into onigiri. Spinach, corn, carrots, eggs, cheese… Everyone smiles and says, “I’m looking forward to it!” and “It’s exciting!”, even though you wonder what ingredients are in onigiri.
First, it’s the turn of the cherry shrimp, whitebait, cheese, tempura flakes, and sesame seeds. Mix them with plenty of rice, cast a spell on them, and press them, saying “I hope it’s delicious,” and the “Sakura shrimp and whitebait crunchy onigiri” is complete!
Next comes the corn and sausages. And even the teary-eyed green peppers who say “no one eats them all the time” are fine. They’ll be transformed into delicious onigiri in no time.
These are fun onigiri that will make you sigh and say, “I’ve never eaten anything like this before.” This is the author, Mai’s Snacks’ debut picture book, but she already has 750,000 followers on “X (formerly Twitter)” (as of June 2023), and is extremely popular online for her illustrated recipes. The highlights of this book are the comforting illustrations and the fresh ideas for combinations that seem easy to make with things you have at home. At the end of the book, there is an illustrated recipe for onigiri. Why not try making it with your child while wishing them delicious?
