The humble riceball



Step1:pull tabStep3:pull apart corners




above: photos of riceballs- finally fond them on http://www.greggman.com/japan/onigiri/onigiri.htm


I suppose these are technically not images that I find interesting but more like images of a thing I find interesting......


I like these plastic wrapped riceballs you can get in japanese convenience stores not because they taste especially good but because I think it is very nice - as in neat. Riceballs have seaweed paper around the rice but they become soggy fairly quickly. These ones have a plastic sheet that separates the seaweed paper and the rice until you pull them apart. Very clever. I like the fact that someone went to the trouble of inventing this to make life just a little bit better.....

so thank you very much!
