The California Roll of Onigiri | Hokuou Joshi : A Swedish Girl’s Life in Japan Volume 1, Chapter 1 (8)
Convenience store onigiri are way too handy! Why is it that Japanese girls can call just about anything “cute?” The guys at host bars are so hot, they’re like real-life anime characters! These are only some of the mysteries Swedish manga artist Åsa Ekström discovers in this journal comic about her journey from Scandinavia to Japan, which is jam-packed with surprises and laughs! >>>Chapter 1: My Day-to-Day Life in Wonderland (8)「The California Roll of Onigiri」
The California Roll of Onigiri


Åsa’s comment
My favorite flavor of onigiri’s just got to be Tuna Mayo. I bet that’s because it’s the closest thing to a California Roll, which us foreigners are used to. But my third-favorite flavor is umeboshi, so maybe I’m becoming a little more Japanese!
