Onigiri-making workshop

Make & Enjoy Onigiri in the Heart of Arashiyama

Join our fun, hands-on Onigiri (rice ball) workshop held in a cosy local studio just a short walk from Togetsukyo Bridge in Arashiyama, Kyoto.

Guided by a local host, you’ll learn how to shape perfectly balanced Onigiri and choose from up to six delicious fillings — including classics like standard salty, salmon, tuna mayo, pickled plum (umeboshi), as well as easy-to-find favourites such as chicken teriyaki mayo and avocado. — and wrap your creation beautifully with seaweed.

This class is more than just cooking — it’s a heartwarming cultural experience where you’ll discover the charm of Japanese home-style food.

After the workshop, wrap your Onigiri in a traditional Tenugui cloth and enjoy a peaceful picnic by the river.

You can take the Tenugui home as a meaningful Kyoto souvenir — and of course, the skills to make Onigiri anytime, anywhere.
