Onigiri (お握り or 御握り; おにぎり^?), also known as omusubi (お結び; おむすび^?) or rice ball, is a Japanese food made from white riceformed into triangular or oval shapes and often wrapped in nori (seaweed). Traditionally, an onigiri is filled with pickled ume (umeboshi), saltedsalmon, katsuobushi, kombu, tarako, or any other salty or sour ingredient as a natural preservative. Because of the popularity of onigiri inJapan, most convenience stores stock their onigiri with various fillings and flavors.

You can always put your own personalized and favorite fillings inside.

This is usually why people like to make Onigiri - because they can stuff ANYTHING they want. Even if it might taste weird >.<
