Hakkodo

A recent edition to Yanaka Ginza, Hakkodo’s main offering is grilled onigiri (rice balls). The unique flavours on offer mean these aren’t your typical onigiri. Try miso and parmesan, salt and Japanese pickles, soy sauce and bonito flakes, or butter and soy sauce, all for ¥330 each. They’re cooked to perfection, with a chewy rice crust and fluffy interior. If you’re thirsty, try one of Hakkodo’s special fermented drinks like the tangy and refreshing vinegar soda.
