— Yoyogi-koen: Onigily's Onigiri Cafe
The signature, as the concept of the shop name "Onigily" (onigiri × Lily) suggests, is an original style that fuses traditional onigiri culture with a modern cafe style. Representative menu items include house-made onigiri (ume, shirasu, mentaiko, salmon, tuna mayo, seasonal creative onigiri), onigiri plates (a set of multiple onigiri, miso soup, and seasonal small dishes), Japanese menu items that make the most of seasonal ingredients, and house-made sweets (seasonal Japanese sweets, house-made pudding). The rice is carefully chosen domestic rice sourced from contracted farms, with thorough commitment to drawing out the chewy texture and natural sweetness of the ingredient to the maximum. Drinks include Japanese tea (sencha, matcha, hojicha, genmaicha), matcha latte, and hand-dripped coffee. With its prime location near Yoyogi Park, a lush walking spot in Tokyo, the shop is favored as an onigiri format that accommodates picnic demand, takeout demand, and health-conscious customers.
