Onigiri Filling Quiz compatibility chart
For each of the 8 fillings, two that are easy to be with and one that may clash. A clash does not mean either side is wrong — they simply value different things.
Shake (Salted Salmon)
- Easy together Kombu (Simmered Kelp) Kombu brings out the best in whoever it's paired with. When Shake steps forward to move things along, Kombu takes care of the small considerations, so Shake can stand out front with peace of mind.
- Easy together Tuna Mayo (Tuna with Mayonnaise) Tuna Mayo is a mild type who happily enjoys new things. It gently brings new ways to have fun to a Shake who tends to stick with the familiar.
- May clash Mentaiko (Spicy Pollock Roe) Mentaiko likes new things and is very clear about what it picks. Shake wants to team up with everyone, so each time Mentaiko says “Hmm, not that,” Shake can feel it has more work pulling the group back together.
Umeboshi (Pickled Plum)
- Easy together Okaka (Bonito Flakes) Okaka also has time-honored ways and a style of its own. When Umeboshi states a rule out loud, Okaka quietly sticks to it, so what Umeboshi says tends to actually happen.
- Easy together Tenmusu (Shrimp Tempura) Tenmusu takes in new things while still holding on to its own style. It shows Umeboshi new ways to enjoy things without pushing them, so Umeboshi can try them without feeling pressured.
- May clash Yakiniku (Grilled Meat) Yakiniku keeps taking in new things and goes along with everyone. To Umeboshi, who wants to protect familiar ways and its own style, plans that seemed settled can feel like they keep changing on Yakiniku's whims.
Yakiniku (Grilled Meat)
- Easy together Tuna Mayo (Tuna with Mayonnaise) Tuna Mayo also enjoys new things and goes along with anyone. Even when Yakiniku invites it with lots of energy, Tuna Mayo takes it in stride, so the two find it easy to head off somewhere new together.
- Easy together Kombu (Simmered Kelp) Kombu values time-honored ways while fitting in with anyone. It calmly supports, all the way through, the things Yakiniku tends to start and then leave behind.
- May clash Umeboshi (Pickled Plum) Umeboshi values familiar ways and its own style. When every new idea Yakiniku brings gets a “Let's do it the old way,” the fun of inviting can easily fizzle out.
Mentaiko (Spicy Pollock Roe)
- Easy together Tenmusu (Shrimp Tempura) Tenmusu enjoys new things and also knows what it likes. It tries what Mentaiko has found in its own way and shares what it thinks, which makes recommending things worthwhile.
- Easy together Okaka (Bonito Flakes) Okaka quietly keeps to time-honored ways. For a Mentaiko easily drawn to the next new thing, Okaka's unchanging choices are a reminder of what's good about things you keep for a long time.
- May clash Shake (Salted Salmon) Shake fits in with everyone, using familiar ways. When Mentaiko suggests something new and Shake wraps it up with “Let's just stick with the usual,” Mentaiko can feel it has fewer chances to use its eye for good things.
Kombu (Simmered Kelp)
- Easy together Shake (Salted Salmon) Shake speaks up clearly in front of people. When Kombu is with Shake, the things Kombu finds hard to say come out naturally through Shake.
- Easy together Yakiniku (Grilled Meat) Yakiniku walks into a room full of strangers without hesitation. Alongside Yakiniku, Kombu can naturally join a circle of new faces too.
- May clash Tenmusu (Shrimp Tempura) Tenmusu likes new things and knows exactly what it likes. When Kombu, wanting to fit in with everyone, says “Anything's fine,” Tenmusu hears “Then nothing gets decided,” and Kombu loses track of where to meet it.
Okaka (Bonito Flakes)
- Easy together Umeboshi (Pickled Plum) Umeboshi can say what needs saying, right then and there. Talking with Umeboshi, the preferences Okaka tends to keep to itself find words, and others start to understand them.
- Easy together Mentaiko (Spicy Pollock Roe) Mentaiko picks out what suits it from all sorts of new things. Even though the two choose differently, among the novelties Mentaiko brings, Okaka sometimes finds one that fits its style.
- May clash Tuna Mayo (Tuna with Mayonnaise) Tuna Mayo happily takes in new things and goes along with everyone. To Okaka, who wants to quietly keep its own style, Tuna Mayo's “This is good too!” can feel like it's knocking over carefully arranged routines.
Tuna Mayo (Tuna with Mayonnaise)
- Easy together Yakiniku (Grilled Meat) Yakiniku is the first to dive into new places. It goes ahead into the spots Tuna Mayo has been curious about, so Tuna Mayo can find new fun just by following along.
- Easy together Shake (Salted Salmon) Shake fits in with anyone, sticking to familiar ways. For a Tuna Mayo easily drawn to new things, Shake's steadiness is a place to settle.
- May clash Okaka (Bonito Flakes) Okaka quietly keeps to time-honored ways and its own style. When Tuna Mayo cheerfully says “Let's try this together!” and keeps getting a quiet no, it's hard to know how much distance to keep.
Tenmusu (Shrimp Tempura)
- Easy together Mentaiko (Spicy Pollock Roe) Mentaiko keeps finding new things. Tenmusu doesn't go looking much on its own, but through Mentaiko, it comes across new things that suit its taste.
- Easy together Umeboshi (Pickled Plum) Umeboshi keeps to long-standing ways without wavering. When Tenmusu tries something new, Umeboshi's reliable way of doing things serves as a model — a guide to how far it can stray from the original.
- May clash Kombu (Simmered Kelp) Kombu goes along with everyone using time-honored ways. Even when Tenmusu picks “This is the one,” Kombu treats every option the same, so Tenmusu can't tell whether Kombu really liked it.
