Rice & Roll Onigiri, stuffed rice balls that come with a variety of fillings, is typically wrapped in seaweed and formed into triangular or oval shapes. They come wrapped and ready-to-go in an easy to open package and require no prep time. Much like a sandwich, onigiri is a quick and easy meal option in five delicious varieties - Tuna & Spicy Mayo, Vegetable & Chicken, Teriyaki Chicken, Smoked Salmon & Onion with Mayo and Edamame.
"We are thrilled to be entering the U.S. market with the Rice & Roll Onigiri food truck," said Sumio Hasegawa, manager of Fuji Foods, Inc. "Onigiri has been a staple of Japanese diets for centuries as a grab-and-go meal perfect for the workday or a family meal. Fuji Foods' strength in technology prepares onigiri that tastes home-made and locks in freshness and we can't wait to debut our products in LA this summer."
As experts across the culinary world, from the Huffington Post to Food & Wine, agree, this year's key culinary trend is Asian cuisine – and this goes far beyond the sushi counter. From gourmet ramen to Asian sandwiches, consumers have seen a rise in easily accessible authentic flavors in their local restaurants and grocery stores.
While onigiri has been an underground secret known best to seasoned culinary trendsetters, Rice & Roll Onigiri brings trendy flavors like Tuna & Spicy Mayo within easy reach of LA's foodies. The Rice & Roll Onigiri Truck will be on the road until August 10 at the following locations:
