Turn Japanese Rice Balls Into Adorable Cat-Shaped Lunches With This Onigiri Kit

Onigiri is a traditional Japanese food consisting of a ball of rice with some type of filling or sauce. It’s a convenient quick lunch, and thanks to kitchen gadget manufacturer Arnest, Onigiri just got WAY cuter.

Too adorable to eat? Or too tasty not to?

The kit comes with everything you need to turn rice and nori (seaweed wrappers) into the most charming food ever.

The cutting tool works much like a paper punch. Simply push it into a sheet of nori, and you get all the pieces you need to create smiling, happy, cat faces.

The rice molding tool helps you press your Onigiri into the perfect “nyan” shape. Nyan is Japanese slang for “cat” and represents the sound a cat makes.

Create adorable cat markings by dabbing sauce onto the ears.

A variety of cute kitties can be made with the various facial features.

Make onigiri cats and paws in the reverse color scheme by wrapping the remaining portions of nori around the rice.
