This video showcases the journey of a 27-year-old woman known for her onigiri (rice ball) creations as she brings her impressive 100-kilogram food cart to Osaka. Operating under the name ‘That’s Rice’ (ザッツライス), she prepares 80 handmade onigiri from 5:00 a.m. before setting out to introduce her unique mobile restaurant to the bustling streets of Osaka. Viewers follow her throughout her busy day, witnessing both the preparation process and the challenge of hauling the large cart through urban environments.

Onigiri, a classic Japanese comfort food, is deeply ingrained in the nation’s culinary culture. They’re typically made with white rice, filled or topped with ingredients like salted salmon, pickled plum (umeboshi), or konbu (kelp), and then shaped by hand. The dedication to serving freshly made onigiri is evident as the vendor devotes hours to preparing the perfect rice and fillings for her customers.

Though the exact route of her Osaka venture isn’t detailed in the video, mobile food stalls have a long history in the city, especially in areas famed for street food and night markets. This video provides an authentic perspective on modern small-scale entrepreneurship, food culture, and the continued popularity of traditional snacks in contemporary Japanese cities. As of the video’s publishing, the stall was temporarily closed, but followers can stay updated on her reopening plans and future locations via her social media links.

Osaka is renowned for its vibrant street food scene, making it a fitting place for such a venture, with specialties such as takoyaki and okonomiyaki, in addition to classic snacks like onigiri.
