You’ve always wanted your rice balls to look like a stylized cat-face, and now they can! Kitchen tool maker Earnest has answered the prayers of cat and rice-ball lovers around the world with ‘Omusubi Nyan,’ their kitty-shaped onigiri kit. The “nyan” at the end of the name is the sound of a cat meowing in Japanese.
Onigiri or omusubi is not a form of sushi. The rice mixture is different, and the filling serves to preserve the rice, whereas sushi originated as a way of preserving fish. This method of storing and eating rice dates as far back as the 8th century; in later times, it is said samurai stored rice balls in a bamboo sheath as a quick meal during times of war.
