I hadn't notice Rene had added "pol".

  Comments:
But is this [pol]? (etymologically, sure...) That would suggest that にぎり is a non-polite version. That doesn't seem to be the case.

We have a "rice ball" sense on にぎり that is tagged[abbr] for 握り飯, and 握り飯 points here. But this isn't お握り飯.

Maybe this is just philosophical question. I certainly won't be bothered if [pol] stays.
