Just a short walk from Senso-ji Temple, this workshop is led by a sushi chef who’ll teach you the rice techniques that make Japanese food so satisfying. You’ll taste a level of freshness and care you simply can’t get from convenience-store onigiri—and you’ll be able to recreate it at home.

• Samurai “Soul Food”
Onigiri has been loved for centuries—famously as practical fuel for travelers and warriors. Before we start, you’ll hear the quick story of how this humble rice ball became a classic Japanese breakfast.

• The “Air” Technique (Fluffy Onigiri, Not Dense)
The secret isn’t squeezing—it’s shaping. Learn how to gently form warm rice while keeping air inside, so your onigiri stays light, fluffy, and tender.

• Itadakimasu! Your Perfect Breakfast
Choose tasty fillings, wrap your onigiri in crisp nori, and enjoy your handmade breakfast with hot miso soup.

Perfect before sightseeing—beginner-friendly, interactive, and a great way to start your Asakusa day with real Japanese culture (and great photos).
