This popular onigiri shop along the Togoshi Ginza Shotengai shopping street offers over 40 types of rice balls. To ensure the freshest taste, each onigiri is made to order using fluffy rice from Yamagata prefecture, salt from Okinawa and crisp nori seaweed from the Ariake Sea in Kyushu.
Fillings here are generous, and you can pick from classic flavours such as tuna mayo and ume (pickled plum), as well as more distinctive offerings like fried pork with kimchi and wasabi sukiyaki. Feeling overwhelmed by the choice? You can't go wrong with any of Togoshiya's three most popular flavours: soy sauce-marinated egg yolk with minced meat, mentaiko (pollock roe) mayo, and classic oven-baked salmon.
The venerable shop is also known for its Togoshi Maru fried chicken, marinated in a sauce made from a blend of several spices and fried to crisp perfection. It makes the ideal side to enjoy with your onigiri. Rice balls here start at ¥280.
