This onigiri is ready to eat straight from the package. Simply unwrap it and enjoy. It can be eaten at room temperature, or if preferred, gently warmed. For warming, remove any plastic film and microwave for a short duration until heated through. Be careful not to overheat, as this can make the rice dry. It's best consumed shortly after preparation for optimal freshness.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain rice balls, this onigiri offers a complex flavor profile with the distinct tang of yuzu complementing the richness of salmon and mayonnaise. The yuzu provides a refreshing citrus note that cuts through the creaminess, making it a more dynamic taste experience.

How to keep the rest
To store any uneaten onigiri, keep it in its original packaging or an airtight container. Refrigeration is recommended to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Consume within one to two days for the best quality. Allow it to come to room temperature slightly before eating if refrigerated.
