Kamakura Onigiri-Making & Sake Tasting at a Bar

Few things are more comforting than biting into a warm, freshly made onigiri rice ball wrapped in a crisp, thin sheet of nori seaweed—except, perhaps, enjoying it alongside a refreshing glass of Japanese sake!

Both high-quality Japanese sake and simple rice balls prove that rice has myriad uses in Japanese gastronomy. Discover the true extent of this versatility and the comforting, delicious result of this combination in this small-group experience that marries sake with rice balls in the cozy environment of a local sake bar in Kamakura.

Friendly hosts will guide you in making onigiri rice balls with traditional fillings and toppings, which you'll then enjoy warm with a flight of sake varieties handpicked by your host to match and complement your onigiri meal.

Experience flow:

-Meet your host at the venue

-Onigiri-making experience: Make 2 or 3 onigiri with different toppings or fillings (kelp boiled in sweet soy sauce, tuna mayonnaise, seaweed and egg seasoning, cod roe, etc.)

-Taste and compare three different kinds of sake (60ml each) together with the rice balls you made
