Onigiri

Kicking off the list we have one of the best food choices for any journey: Onigiri, or basically… rice ball. This traditional food is so common that we can pretty much see them in most of anime, like Pokemon. For those who have faithfully followed Shokugeki no Soma since season 1, you probably remember “Three Kinds of Onigiri” dish made by Megumi in episode 6.

And while it might look difficult to make at first, Onigiri is actually really simple. In short, Onigiri is simple rice ball shaped in triangular form and often wrapped with seaweed (or nori in Japanese). A traditional Onigiri tends to be filled with umebushi (pickled plums), katsuobushi (smoked skipjack tuna), kombu (a type of edible kelp), tarako (pollock roe), salted salmon, or any other salty or sour ingredient.
