Enjoy over 56 unique flavors of rice balls at Onigiri Bongo, made fresh to order at this charming counter-top restaurant.

Restaurant Details

Onigiri Bongo is a long-standing shop established 60 years ago where you can taste 56 different flavors of delicious onigiri.


Onigiri Bongo has five secrets for serving up delicious onigiri. First: start making onigiri right after receiving the order, so it's always fresh. Second: use a special technique to make a soft and airy onigiri. Third: create a big but light onigiri with a lot of filling. Fourth: create and use original fillings. And finally: use specialty rice, seaweed, and salt from Japan. These five things make up their delicious rice balls.


You can eat freshly-made onigiri at the counter, similar to a sushi restaurant. Usually, people make onigiri by tightly squeezing the rice together, but here at Onigiri Bongo, they make onigiri without squeezing tightly to maintain the light and fluffy texture of individual rice grains. They use specialty ingredients for their onigiri; rice, seaweed, and salt, all of which bring out the umami flavor of onigiri.


Onigiri Bongo is located 2 minutes away from Otsuka station. Making reservations online is not possible for this shop, but you can schedule the time in advance when you want to pick up your onigiri for both takeout and eat-in.
