Okay, I'm starting a new series in my web site, and guess what's it called? "Food Review," yes simpo as that.
Onigiri is a very traditional Japanese-style type of food where you mold the rice together into certain type of shape, it could be triangular (as in the picture) or a ball shape, sometimes people wrap a piece of 海苔 around it, and of course, you can do other fancier stuff to it (like baking it with soy sauce seasoning, etc) as long as it sells. However when I say traditional, it doesn't necessarily mean it's one of those fancy traditional Japanese food that are very expensive. Onigiri are, in fact, very GHETTO. I can't think of any food, assuming onigiri is a food, any more ghetto-er than onigiri.
Now for most people out there (by people I meant FOBs who's single, and by that I mean me) who loves rice (yeah, fuck noodles) but just too lazy to cook, Mizkan has an answer for you.

When you open it up, it comes with 4 pockets where it has seasoning in it. You mix it with the rice that you cooked, and then start working on your hand magic - molding those seasoned rice into whatever shape you like, and there, it's done. Whole process only took me 5 min to do it and I have a ghetto dinner prepared for myself. Pretty easy eh?
Appearance:
rainbow colored seasoning on my beloved rice? ha, 4/5
Taste judge:
Aside from being too salty (partially my fault because I didn't realized there are actually SALT in it,i coudln't see once the white salt are mixed with white rice, and i was trying to make my onigiri more colorful so I threw in so many pocket in it), it acutally taste better than I thought. 4/5
Fear Factor:
0/5, the rice looks fucking good on the cover
Health implications:
Well from the label at the back it looks pretty good to me, no fat, 5 Calories, and 34mg of sodium. But I can't speak for those artificial seasoning tho, i think they are pretty bad for me, so 3/5
Bang for the buck:
@ $1.75 for 4 pockets, and approximately 5 to 6 onigiri made, I give it 3/5.
Final Judgement:
I love it, no weird taste, and it's easy, no complains, so 5/5
