Onigiri Ryu

Discover Onigiri Ryu in Kitashinchi—where champion finesse meets artisan rice creations, crafted by a boxing legend.
Restaurant Details
Onigiri Ryu, nestled in the vibrant heart of Kitashinchi, Osaka, effortlessly merges traditional Japanese Izakaya with the comforting warmth of Oden cuisine. Helmed by the innovative former world boxing champion, Tatsuya Yamanaka, this dining spot offers a fresh twist, where tradition is beautifully interwoven with a touch of creativity.
The highlight at Onigiri Ryu is its diverse selection of onigiri. These handcrafted rice balls, with over 20 meticulously curated varieties, shine using the finest Tsuyahime rice from Yamagata Prefecture. Skillfully molded by expert hands, each onigiri is a delightful medley of fluffy rice and crispy seaweed, with fillings like Ranou soy sauce pickles and rich Kitashinchi tuna mayonnaise being standout choices.
Strategically located just a short walk from JR Kitashinchi Station, the restaurant's ambiance, featuring exclusively counter seating, invites diners into a warm and interactive setting. It’s perfect for both quick bites and relaxing, leisurely meals, allowing guests to enjoy the art of food preparation as it unfolds.
Complementing the onigiri, the oden – a savory Japanese stew – is a must-try, presenting an umami-filled broth laden with delicacies such as ganmodoki, daikon radish, and a selection of tofu, all wonderfully paired with sake or beer for a complete experience.
Guided by Yamanaka's visionary spirit, Onigiri Ryu promises a journey of taste and surprises, driven by passion and the unexpected expertise of a boxing champion, in an environment that's welcoming and revitalizing. This experience beckons guests to return time and again.
