It was believed that onigiri could not be produced with a machine as the human rolling technique was considered too difficult to replicate. In the [[1980s]], a machine that made triangular onigiri was built.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} This was initially met with skepticism because rather than having the filling traditionally rolled inside, the flavoring was simply put into a hole in onigiri and this shortcut was hidden by the nori. Since the onigiri made by this machine came with nori already applied to the rice ball, over a period of time the nori became unpleasantly moist and sticky, clinging to the rice. A packaging improvement allowed the nori to be stored separately from the rice. At the time of consumption, the diner could open the packet of nori and wrap the onigiri. The machines' limitation that an ingredient was filled into a hole instead of rolled together with the rice actually made new flavors of onigiri easier to produce as this cooking process did not require changes from ingredient to ingredient.
Onigiri wa oishii desu ne~!
