Onigiri Rice Ball Seaweed Wrappers Nori & Sushi Rice Mold

Wasn't sure about this after reading all the comments. I received it today and the expiration date is 5 months away. I did a taste test and it's good. A little thinner than the nori sheets I normally use, but thin is better for musubis. I'll be making about a 2 dozen this weekend since my granddaughter has a double-header tournament on Saturday. The package says it's 100% seaweed, which is a good thing--nothing added. Wish I knew it was good--I would have opted for the 50 count! I hope I get my additional 50 count order by Friday. If I don't, I'll have to use the regular wrappers I buy. I expect to use all 50 by summer, since my granddaughter's season starts next week.

My tweens are really interested in sushi and onigiri right now. We had a fun time making these onigiri at home. We made sticky rice, let it cool, and then used the mold to shape it and then fill it with some bulgogi. We also tried it with orange chicken leftovers and it tasted really good. The kit comes with instructions and it was really easy to figure out. Great for first-time users!

This little set is perfect in every way!! I am telling you! I was able to make the perfect keto onigiri with the mold and wrappers 😊👐🏽 Turned out exactly as expected if not better. Will definitely be ordering more when I run low.

i love the seaweed molder, its an older version but I still like it. But I wish the seaweed that it came with was a better quality. I also wish, they had a mini version of this molder with wrapper to go with it.

Update 05/06/15- I am still using this mold on a weekly basis, and I've been tossing it into the dishwasher for washing. Really pleased. Wanted to add that it doesn't need to be filled all the way up with rice... I prefer them when they are thinner. I have found the wrappers at my local Asian market for a lower price, and I always have them at home.Original review-If you love rice/onigiri, this is a must-have. You will get one rice mold (mine was pink instead of blue, as in the picture) and a package with 10 sheets of nori wrappers. The instructions for the wrappers are a little hard to follow, but after doing it twice it is relatively easy. I bought these so I could make an onigiri in the morning, toss it in my bag and have it for lunch at work. I'm not confident enough in my wrapping skills to throw the onigiri in my bag quite yet, but I will get there.These sheets of nori are packaged individually between one sheet of shiny plastic and one sheet of non-stick plastic. They are air-tight. This makes the nori unbelievably fresh. In addition, the nori itself is thinner than the nori I usually use, which allows the nori to stay stuck to the rice (thicker sheets tend to unpeel themselves), and makes it easier to bite into. In short, they are designed especially for onigiri.... but the really special thing about these wrappers is the layer of nonstick plastic between the rice and the nori. When you peel away the wrapper, the rice and nori meet for the first time. When I bit into the first onigiri I made from this set, I was absolutely blown away. Never have I had nori so fresh. Texturally, it's a totally different experience. Instead of chewy or soggy, the nori is dry and crunchy. It breaks apart easily. If you have had sushi before, you know that the seaweed wrapped around the outside is kind of chewy and impossible to bite in half. This seaweed is exactly the opposite because it doesn't absorb any moisture from the air or the rice until the moment you're ready to eat it.I know that these sheets are used all over Japan to package convenience store onigiri. Because they are made especially for onigiri, they are especially good. I will be repurchasing more wrappers in the future. They are really wonderful!

Great price, was mainly buying this for the mold. The instructions for folding the nori were a little confusing(i normally just do the the fold at the bottom) but it's a nice, good tasting nori so just a bonus to have. It's a nice, easy to wash plastic for the mold, exactly what I was looking for.

After visiting Korea, I really missed the triangle kimbap I could pick up in convenience stores. While I have Korean groceries and restaurants nearby, none make that style of kimbap. Thankfully, making it is fairly easy and these wrappers keep the kimbap fresh and portable. The peel-open design is genius and keeps the seaweed crispy and the rice soft. The rice mold works well and is easy to clean. A great choose-your-own-adventure for fillings of your choice! I have tried this kit using bulgogi/egg filling and tuna/mayo filling and both were successful!
