Not really it is fine out of the package, but make sure the rice is still a bit warm, like with sushi it aids in the rolling with a bit of moisture, you can toast it but there is not alot of difference!.
When I worked in Japan, onigiri was one of my fav night time snack, I would buy them from the Japanese equivelent to the 7/11 store, either them or veggie sushi even okonomiyaki to eat they had in warm like hot dogs in the US!.
Make sure to keep your hands moist to, like with sushi it can dry out quite quickly so a bit of water, rice vinegar or saki to aid ine the forming of the balls!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
