The reason why Japanese food has become popular over the years. You might find out Japanese restaurants everywhere around your city. And most of ingredients for Japanese home cooking would be sold at supermarket. Japanese food isn’t only Sushi and Ramen.
Today let me share “Triangular Onirigi (rice ball)” recipe.
