Onigiri Lunches that Support Artisans

This episode features a collection of onigiri rice balls that fuel artisans across Japan. From a roof tile artisan who loves rice cooked in a clay pot to beat the summer heat, to gardeners managing the Japanese garden of a museum—what kind of onigiri keeps them going? We also visit workplaces of other masters of their craft, including ink makers and metalworkers, showcasing their unique and carefully made onigiri.
