Tips for cooking

Please adjust the amount of salt to your liking as the salted kelp will add some taste to onigiri. If the amount of sesame oil is too much, it will be difficult to squeeze and combine, so please adjust the amount. Please consider food poisoning when carrying the lunch box and cook in a hygienic environment. When carrying the lunch box, put an ice pack and store it in a fridge or a cool place. Be sure to cook anything that needs to be heated well, let it rest thoroughly, and remove any excess liquid before packing it in your lunch box. *You must be of legal drinking age
