I started following Onigiri Shuttle Kororin on Instagram after hearing about them through Andale Market, a new bodega in Andersonville. Onigiri is a handheld meal of rice and fillings. These are made in a triangular shape. A much better explanation with photos can be found on their
website. They are a cloud kitchen and have various delivery points around the city and suburbs. There is a special flavor each week that they announce in Instragram and probably also via email.
I finally pulled the trigger for lunch today. The pickup in Uptown was a short walk from home. A lunch meal includes 5 onigiris, mushroom & tofu miso soup and oshinko pickles. They advised to heat everything up in the microwave. I didn't realize the pickles were inside the packages, though they didn't seem harmed by the reheat.
I transferred the soup to a different container before heating. The bamboo leaf packages went on a plate into the microwave as is.

We really enjoyed this meal. The variety of flavors was interesting. Our top three were the pork belly, salmon butter and corn cheese pepper. Five of them plus soup is quite filling. It's not an inexpensive lunch: $18.99 before taxes/fees/gratuity for the lunch pack that includes the pork belly. We'll do this again.
