What makes Anytime Onigiri so special?
For centuries, Japan's wayfarers were sustained by 'O-settai'—the gift of handmade rice balls from local villagers along the trail. The onigiri was shaped into a triangle because it was easier to hold and eat with one hand while walking.
Anytime Onigiri bridges the gap between ancient tradition and modern day needs with onigiri from Japan. The result is a convenient and lightweight (1.48 oz--about the same as an average granola bar) food for everyone on the go. When you are ready to eat, simply add water, SHAKE, and it is ready in just 15 minutes if you use hot water, and one hour using cool/room temp water. Enjoy an Anytime Onigiri out on the hiking trail, on your next ✈️ flight, or pull one out of your glove box when you are stuck in traffic. The onigiri have a shelf life of five and a half years!
We are a small family business that started with a simple goal: to make our favorite on-the-go onigiri consistently available across the United States. At Anytime Onigiri, we believe getting outside and connecting with nature is good for the soul. That’s why we run an ethically and environmentally responsible business—delivering great fuel for your adventures while doing our part to preserve Earth's amazing beauty.
