Ultimate Tobikko Onigiri

If you love tobikko (flying fish roe), this is the perfect treat. With plenty of tobikko mixed in and stuffed inside, every bite is packed with flavor and color.
Recipe background:
My husband, a huge tobikko fan, once said, “Just mixing it in isn’t enough,” and “It might taste better without extra seasoning.” We often do the same with mentaiko—double the filling, no extra seasoning. It feels rich and tastes amazing. 2018.8.3

Steps
- 1
Finely chop the shiso leaves. If you’re short on time, tear them into small pieces by hand.
- 2
Line a deep bowl with a large piece of plastic wrap. Add the rice, half of the tobikko, and all other ingredients. Mix well. (Tip: See cookpad.com recipe ID:19937763 for a handy method.)
- 3
Once mixed, gather the rice together with the plastic wrap, then flatten it out. Place the remaining half of the tobikko in the center. (Photo uses a generous 2 teaspoons of tobikko.)
- 4
Wrap the rice around the filling, then twist the plastic wrap to form a tight ball, like a pouch.
- 5
Shape the onigiri as you like through the plastic wrap. You can eat it as is, wrapped in the plastic wrap.
- 6
You can also shape it into a triangle. The step photos use frozen brown rice, while the main photo uses white rice for a colorful look. Feel free to wrap with extra shiso or nori if you like.
