#HaikuADay #HaikuHive
I‘m behind on haikus but posting today‘s inspired by my dinner of 2 tuna onigiri, called musubi at the place I picked them up from. I looked & found that both are a rice ball but onigiri is the general Japanese term & musubi is a Hawaiian adaptation. So, all onigiri can be called musubi, but not all musubi are onigiri. 🤷🏻♀️
Rice Ball Riddle
All onigiri
Can wear the name musubi,
But not the reverse.

So, all onigiri can be called musubi, but not all musubi are onigiri, as a musubi is a specific style of onigiri” 4d
