When I was younger, here in Montreal the only options for Japanese food locally were fancy expensive restaurants or the Teriyaki Experience<\/em><\/a> in the mall food courts. It was still considered foreign and exotic and not really of appeal to a broader audience. As time went on, sushi became more prevalent and easily accessible, and then the ramen wave hit, and now Japanese fast casual is a staple in most urban environments. However, one thing I’d yet to see anywhere other than festivals or events put on by the JCCCM<\/a> is onigiri<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>or seaweed-wrapped rice balls.<\/p>\n

Enter Onigiri Shop<\/a> \u2014 an adorable local chain that serves, you guessed it, onigiri (amongst other things). There’s one quite close to my house so a little while ago I took the opportunity to check it out and grab a couple of onigiri to try out. I’m very happy I did!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
