do u have 2 use a special type of rice

[Flippymar]

I usually use jasmine short grain rice, which can be found in any grocery store now. You could use sushi rice but its a little bit more expensive.

any sticky rice would work fine i imagine

[natra]

you dont need sticky rice and jasmine isent really a good rice to use , salt keeps onigiri together and white rice is the best to use

[Wascopirate]

you do need the rice to be sticky, try calrose short grained, or another short grained japanese rice. salt does not make it stick, it is use to preserve the freshness and make it taste better. please chect out my onigiri instructable.
