I use miso quite often. In addition to miso soup, it is also used for rice balls, Japanese-style pasta sauce, pickled meat and fish, and baby food and kids meal. At home, These miso will be used up in about one month.
Not to mix red miso and white miso in a container, I put dried kelp between them.
By saving in this way, you can save three types of miso (white, red and brown) in a small space. I like this method very much because my fridge is for business use and very small (about 1/3 size) compared to family/home use in Japan. 🇯🇵

It is no exaggeration to say that rice balls are a national dish of Japan. There are various types of rice balls, from simple ones that are simply sprinkled with salt, to those that contain various fillings, and those that are made from grilled rice. Onigiri is evolving day by day and is not only the main character of bento, but also an easy-to-eat snack.
Onigiri is made by adding ingredients to cooked Japanese rice and molding it into a triangle, round shape, or bale shape.
My family also loves rice balls. In particular, simple salted rice balls that are simply sprinkled with salt and wrapped with seaweed are popular. At my home, rice balls appear not only for breakfast and lunch, but also when we have finished eating dinner and want to eat something a little more. So as we go on a picnic, we often bring rice balls with various fillings rather sandwiches.
What is the difference with Onigiri and Sushi?
One of the key differences between onigiri and sushi is that onigiri is made with plain steamed japonica rice, while sushi is made of steamed japonica rice seasoned with vinegar, salt, and sugar.
On the contrary, what sushi and rice balls have in common is that they are dishes designed to preserve rice for a long time.
Rice vinegar is used for sushi. For onigiri, salt is sprinkled around rice balls, and antibacterial and preservative ingredients such as pickled plums and various pickles are often used.
Where you can buy Onigiri?
In general, you can buy rice balls at convenience stores and supermarkets in Japan. At convenience stores, not only standard ingredients but also unique rice balls made with seasonal ingredients are available. Although there are still few, there are rice ball specialty stores from individual stores to chains.
