Make Onigiri in a Hands On Tokyo Cooking Class

This onigiri making class at Oh Nana was amazing! Our host was super knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. We received delicious gluten free sides to eat alongside our homemade onigiri. Would highly recommend - thank you!

This experience should definitely be on your list if you are coming to Tokyo! We had a lovely time learning about onigiri from Nana, played a fun and educating quiz and you got to win a prize in the end! We then had a demonstration on how you can make onigiri and we got to make a lot of them and try to make it in many different ways and be creative. After finishing we got to enjoy our onigiri with some fried chicken, miso soup and japanese omelet which was sooooo good, and in the end we even had a refreshing dessert! Thank you so much for this amazing tour, it was time well spent!

That was a really good experience, Nana explained how to make onigiris but also the historic background of it. It took place inside their gluten free restaurant and all the staff looked passionate about it.

I had a wonderful time at this onigiri workshop! It was a fun and interactive experience from start to finish. I learned a lot about the history of onigiri, its cultural significance in Japan, and the different ways it has evolved over time. It wasn’t just about making rice balls, it was also a great opportunity to understand an important part of Japanese food culture. The workshop was well organized, and the instructions were easy to follow, even for beginners. We got to make our own onigiri, and it was very satisfying to enjoy something we had made ourselves. A special thank you to Nana, who was incredibly detailed with every explanation. She took the time to answer everyone’s questions, shared interesting stories, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the workshop. Her passion and knowledge really made the experience even more enjoyable. The filling can be both vegan or Non-vegan. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone visiting Japan or anyone interested in Japanese culture and cuisine. It’s educational, fun, and a memorable hands-on experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This class was a wonderful insite in family recipes of Japanese culture. Learning how to make these bento and onigiri was a master class in storytelling and instruction. The host was gracious and made sure to be with us every step of the way as we created our own onigiri and bento giving us vegan and gluten-free options along the way for those of us who have dietary restrictions. I would wholly recommend this class to anyone and everyone.

If you are looking for a unique cultural experience, this class is a fantastic choice. Instead of simply following a recipe, we gained a deeper understanding of the traditions behind bento and onigiri and the role they play in everyday in Japanese life. The small-group setting made it feel personal, relaxed, and engaging through the entire two hours. One of my favorite parts was making my own onigiri and turning it into a cute design. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. Nana’s enthusiasm for teaching and her food was contagious, and her sweet dog Hachi added an extra touch of charm. I left this experience with new skills, full stomach, and a much greater appreciation for Japanese home cooking.

This was a wonderful and authentic experience! Nana shared the history of bento and onigiri while teaching us how to make delicious gluten-free and vegan Japanese food. The class felt like learning family recipes, with a real homemade touch and so much care put into every detail. The food tasted amazing, and making cute onigiri shapes was surprisingly fun and rewarding. Nana and her team were incredibly friendly and passionate about sharing Japanese culture through food. Plus, meeting Hachi, Nana's adorable dog, made the experience even more memorable!
