Since the fillings are eaten with rice, they are boldly seasoned. We value a fluffy texture that gently falls apart in your mouth, so although we call them "onigiri," we barely press them together. We source our rice through direct contracts with farmers in Niigata Prefecture…

A great place to visit if you want to try several flavors with your onigiri. They have many flavors to choose from & you can even combine them to your liking. We went here for lunch on a weekend. We queued for about 25 minutes. They have 1 table & few counterseats inside. They accept cash & paypay for payments. The staffs were welcoming. I ordered a Mentaiko Mayo & Cream Cheese Onigiri, Spicy Garlic Tuna Mayonnaise & Tonjiru soup. I enjoyed the Onigiri but a bit disappointed with the soup. Got to try a bit of the Spicy Hawaiian Poke Onigiri too. It was my favorite so far. Still looking forward to try different flavors of Onigiri next time. Enjoyed our meal here.

Nice sea weed taste taste in abed of rice. Absolutely delicious. Another one that was good is the tuna mayo. Everytime I try a onigiri with this flavour, it's so good especially here. Also the drug eggs (awesome translation) was very good. The miso soup is also good.
View on GoogleLocal onigiri shop done served with heart! So there are 2 shops the one with the long line is for dine in and you can get a set. The other shop is right across for takeout the way that onigiri should be eaten! Smorgasbord of flavors but I remember to get the tuna mayo and add an egg yoke. Also came back to try their salmon. Don't be afraid to mix and match. Staff was very helpful... just ask Osusume they will answer you in English. :)
View on GoogleLarge and delicious onigiri. The minced meat with egg yolk was the best onigiri I’ve had so far, and the soup was hearty, perfect for a chilly day. Waited for around 20 minutes on a weekday at noon. Staff gave us hot tea while queueing and were friendly. They have an English menu available.
View on GoogleThe BEST onigiri in Tokyo. Given I haven’t tried a bunch of spots but the quality is incredible. You can get double filling for everything. I would skip the aged roe. It was way too salty for me. Or just don’t double it
