Is the rice ball from China or Japanese?

One kind of delicious food is very popular in Japan, and many Japanese people especially like to eat it, that is, all kinds of rice balls. This kind of rice ball is actually made of rice, which is to knead the rice into a ball and then add something else in the middle. Almost all convenience stores in Japan have it.

There are few resources in Japan, and the only one that is rich in resources is fish, but it is particularly troublesome to preserve fish, and it cannot be preserved for a long time. They usually eat soaked rice or miso soup, which is relatively easy to preserve.

At that time, rice was regarded as a luxury, because Japan's land area was relatively small and rice was not widely planted. It's all food that soldiers carry when they go to war. At that time, the status of warriors was very high. For the convenience of carrying, rice is made into rice balls.

Then wrap the rice balls with seaweed that can be seen everywhere by the sea. This is the origin of Japanese rice balls. Until now, Japan still has the habit of eating glutinous rice balls. When they eat rice, they don't like eating it directly.

Rice balls are a traditional Japanese food. The main ingredient is rice and the main ingredient is fish fillets. Producers can add ingredients according to their own preferences, and they can also make rice balls of various styles according to their own preferences.

Since the convenience store appeared in the 1970 s, rice balls have become one of the most important commodities in convenience stores, and they still maintain this position today.

Rice balls have changed since the age of 1970. The traditional impression of rice balls is that in a fluffy white rice, the stuffing may be roasted salmon, and the whole rice ball is covered with seaweed by the mother. And convenience stores have completely changed this picture.

Due to the development of a packaging method to separate rice from seaweed, seaweed can remain crisp and consumers can enjoy rice balls without getting their hands dirty, which makes rice balls sold in convenience stores very popular.

The choice of fillings in rice balls is also very diverse, and there are many fillings with foreign flavors, which makes this precious Japanese cuisine more exotic.
