This onigiri option is a good choice if you are vegetarian or know someone who is, because all it contains is the spicy stir fried mustard greens filling, plus the rice and the nori wrapping. Even though I'm not vegetarian and do eat meat, I found this onigiri to be full of flavor, and was surprised with how much I liked the spicy mustard greens -- they really packed a punch! The price is really economical as well, at only 125 yen including tax. It makes for a budget friendly snack, especially if you're on the go and need something quick to eat.

Because the filling only contains mustard greens, this onigiri didn't hold me over as well as ones that contain higher protein fillings such as chicken or salmon. I still enjoyed it, but it's just something to keep in mind if you're looking for the most bang for your buck when it comes to staying fuller for longer. Other than that, this is a nice vegetarian friendly option, and a good way of getting in some healthy veggies that are still full of flavor. I wouldn't say it's my favorite onigiri that I've tried, but it did feel very healthful which was nice!
