To begin with, ONIBGIRI is a menu item that has been eaten in Japan for more than 2,000 years. It is a food made of rice in a ball shape, portable, and can be eaten with one hand.

It spread throughout Japan in a single leap 800 years ago during the period of warfare. It is recorded that it was useful as food for soldiers.

After the war ended, it appeared in the daily diet of the common people and became very popular as a portable food, especially for people on the move.
