SOSAKU ONIGIRI — Restaurant in London

Sosaku: A Unique Onigiri Experience in London

If you're a fan of Japanese cuisine, then you must visit Sosaku, a food stall in London that specialises in unique and flavourful onigiri. With its creative flavor combinations and colorful taste explosions, Sosaku offers an amazing culinary experience that you won't find anywhere else.

I recently had the pleasure of trying two of Sosaku's signature onigiri: the UME and the Spicy Takana. The UME, made with Japanese salted plum, shisho, and yuzu mayo, was a burst of traditional Japanese flavors. The combination of the salty plum, the refreshing shisho, and the tangy yuzu mayo created a perfect balance of flavors that left me wanting more.

The Takana, spicy pickled mustard leaves onigiri was equally impressive. Made with kimchi, Japanese mayo, garlic miso, and Japanese pepper, this onigiri had a nice kick that was balanced by the creamy mayo and the sweet and savory miso. The pickled mustard leaves added a nice crunch and a unique flavor that I had never experienced before.

What really sets Sosaku apart from other onigiri places is the quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail. The onigiri are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the flavors are carefully balanced to create a truly memorable experience.

In addition to the delicious onigiri, I was also impressed by the friendly and welcoming service at Sosaku. The shop keeper was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the different onigiri flavours, passionate about her craft and unique offerings.

Overall, Sosaku is a must-visit for anyone who loves Japanese cuisine or is looking for a unique and flavorful culinary experience. The onigiri are reasonably priced, especially considering the quality of the ingredients and the extra care that goes into making them. I can't wait to go back and try some more of Sosaku's creative...

In 2024, had the chance of trying Masami San ‘s delicious Onigiri at Hyper Japan as I was a trader there! Usually at comic cons my diet is very unhealthy, but finding Masami San’s stall was such a wonderful and healthy surprise! I remember ordering the truffle onigiri , shiso onigiri ans the onigiri with homemade pickles. Usually onigiris in restaurants are quite bland and dense, but the ones I ordered were like little clouds. The rice was so fluffy and at the same time packed tight enough it did not fall appart, but lose enough so ever bite was perfect combination of texture and flavors! Masami and her staff were also so lovely and friendly, and I loved exchanging about her passion for onigiri! I could eat my weight in onigiri, and I hope I get to visit her shop in Shepperd’s bush very soon and hopefully try every single flavor! Thank you for your delicious onigiri cooked with so...

Onigiri excellence!

An exceptional little stall with a wide array of tasty Onigiri rice balls.

You can have as a snack or make a meal out of it. Super versatile!

Perfectly textured seasoned rice with delicious fillings that complement each other.

The rice texture is made such that it falls apart with each bite. Light and fluffy as it is back home !

Fillings change seasonally with some staples that everyone loves.

Alongside Onigiri is usually a hot soup and other condiments from Japan brought over by Masami San. The dashi packets are amazing…!

I would highly recommend visiting if in London - make the trip to Shepherd’s Bush Market and...
