By day, this Japanese onigiri and wine bar is a calm, minimal café built for slow moments and takeaway rice triangles done right.
By night, Itadakimasu Onigiribar shifts into something more intimate, a softly lit dining spot where premium onigiri, Japanese-style grilling and a thoughtful drinks list take centre stage. It’s a concept rooted in simplicity, but executed with precision, reverence, and a clear sense of place.
The menu draws inspiration from Japan’s iconic cities, translating local flavours and everyday dishes into carefully crafted onigiri and small plates. High-quality Japanese rice is the hero here, shaped by hand and filled with everything from yuzu pork and spicy tuna to MB9+ wagyu yakiniku and unagi with tamago. Before eating, diners are invited to say itadakimasu, a humble, grateful acknowledgment to the earth, sea, and farmers behind each ingredient.
