Ryotaro Seki, Ryo

A founder of ONIGIRIS.NET

Hello, and thank you for visiting ONIGIRIS.NET. My name is Ryo, the founder of this site. My passion for Japanese food runs deep, having been born and raised in Japan, where I was surrounded by the rich and delicious flavors of traditional Japanese cuisine.

Recently, onigiri—the Japanese rice ball—has been gaining popularity, with many media outlets, bloggers, and YouTubers showcasing this beloved snack in Japan.

I founded ONIGIRIS.NET to share the rich culture of onigiri with the world. My hope is that through this site, everyone can discover the unique charm of onigiri and find their own favorite flavors.

My journey in the food industry began at Yamachan Ramen, a noodle manufacturer in California, where I gained extensive experience and expertise. I have a deep understanding of Japanese ingredients and a strong connection to Japanese shops and restaurants.

Currently, I reside in San Antonio, Texas, where I am actively involved in helping Japanese businesses enhance their digital marketing strategies through JU Marketing.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to spread the love for onigiri far and wide. We believe that these compact, flavor-packed rice triangles deserve more recognition. From traditional fillings to creative twists, we’re here to explore the diverse world of onigiri.

As an Ambassador

ONIGIRIS.NET’s goal is to serve as a goodwill ambassador for onigiri restaurant and shops, and introduce a wide range of delicious onigiris. We would like to support the slogan “More of that taste of Japan” promoted by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and JETRO from the standpoint of using ingredients.
