You have to be pretty specific about how you pull it apart. Most people will ruin their first onigiri because they do it wrong. But basically you break a seal and then pull the plastic out on each side, sliding them out.



Yeah there's instructions on them but they're in Japanese and the pictures aren't very clear in my experience.

But it's not a big deal if you're going to eat it right away because the nori doesn't get soggy that quickly.


Rest assured, everyone is confused first time and no one knows how it works. It's just there aren't many Japanese left that hadn't learned the lesson.


It does ruin the aesthetic of it though


Oh ok, it didn't really for me. It did pull the nori open a little bit so I had to fold it back in.
