How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, keep any uneaten onigiri refrigerated. It is best consumed within a day or two of purchase. Ensure the packaging is resealed properly if not fully consumed to prevent the rice from drying out and the nori from becoming too soft.
