Warm rice, savoury fillings and a crisp sheet of nori – onigiri might just be the ultimate comfort food. If you’re on the hunt for a great takeaway meal or snack, head straight to Isshoku Onigiri, a rice ball specialist in Nishihara that crafts onigiri with domestic ingredients and high quality rice.
Flavours come in all the classic offerings from salmon and tuna mayo to konbu kelp and salted honey ume (plum). Additionally, Isshoku offers a selection of small side dishes which make the perfect accompaniment to your rice balls. Past offerings have included napa cabbage salad with tiny sakura shrimp and stir-fried squid and cucumber with ginger. What’s more, you can also order vegetarian-friendly miso soup made without bonito flakes – a rare find in Tokyo.
