I'm not big on conbini onigiri but I like it every now and then. Somehow I always have been at a 7-11 when the onigiri muse waved her nori at me, and I was always happy with whatever filling I chose. Today for the first time, I found myself craving an onigiri while at a FamilyMart and, without much thought, I picked up a salmon onigiri.
Was it good? No. The rice was surprisingly bland, and the salmon was flaky and dry. Was it BAD? No. But it's like wanting to eat Lindt chocolate (not exactly super premium but very decent) and settling for a Hershey's. It's always going to be 7-11 for me.
Or did I pick the worst possible onigiri at FM, and maybe others on the shelf are worth trying?
