Our "Gomoku" onigiri flavour contains burdock. We are often asked by customers: "What is burdock?" Please read on for a brief explanation.
Arctium is a genus of biennial plants commonly known as burdock, family Asteraceae. Native to the Old World, several species have been widely introduced worldwide. (Wikipedia)
We use Haiga-mai (half-milled rice) for our onigiri. It's neither brown nor white rice, but somewhere in between the two. It is commonly believed that brown rice provides more nutrition when compared to white rice, but if we consider the amount of nutrition made useful through digestion, this belief may not be entirely true.
