One of the most recognizable symbols of Japanese food, onigiri is more than just a rice ball. From homemade lunches to convenient take-out shops, onigiri can be found across Japan and in an endless variety of flavors. But what makes a truly outstanding onigiri? Shizuka travels to the popular Onigiri Bongo shop to discover the secret to making delicious rice balls.
The master of Onigiri Bongo, Yuriko Ukon, guides Shizuka through the deceptively simple steps needed to make excellent onigiri. From over 50 flavors to choose from, Shizuka prepares and samples some unique onigiri combinations.

Tuna O-toro 😊 [do they have that? Lol.]
would love to try that with the egg yolk in soy sauce....
tuna mayo baybeeee
70 and an absolute boss. Really hoping I can try her food soon.
We hope so too!
That is the youngest looking 70 year old I have ever seen, amazing!
Yes! Extremely youthful!
What the coincident! We filmed Bongo too!!! hahaha, our video is coming sooooon.
Good work Shizuka san!!
Enjoy your time there!
Thank you so much!! Glad you liked our video! 😍🥰
OMG Yuriko is so cute! So much love in her food.
She is super cute!
Wow!! Onigiri Bongo!! I highly recommend it!!😋🍙
Is it just me or i've seen this shop on ur channel ? :u
@@heartbreakmanNo1 wow! I’m glad to hear that :)
I think your channel was the first which featured this restaurant.
It was amazing!
i know this place beforehand from your video. lol
Wow! Yuriko sure doesn't look 70! And I like salmon onigiri.
She looks sooo young!
Sunday with Shizuka chan, the vibes is so warm and uplifting. 🥰
R u Nobita kun?😂
It really is!
Tried karaage and salmon onigiri there. Best and first I've ever had haha. Love this place
This is by far the best onigiri I've had in Japan. I never thought something so simple would be so good! It really is hard to describe to my friends how good it was without them trying it. I'm so happy you made this video. Can't wait to go back the next time I'm in Japan.
Couldn't agree more!
I like the different fillings! The owner is adorable, too. After seeing her onigiri-making lesson I want to try to make at home!
You can do it!
ok, definitely a step up from convenience stores. These are usually my breakfast when I'm in Japan. Very nice too see the next level version
Onigiri for breakfast is the best! Next time you visit, please try Onigiri Bongo!
I like when they serve onigiri in Yakiniku restaurants…. They give you brush to apply some Shoyu and you can lightly char it over smoky charcoal fire
Delicious!
onigiri is the simplest food that can taste absolutely delicious, who would have thought just rice and seaweed would taste so good?
Right? We love it!
I have seen this lady in another video and always wanted to see more about her😍She makes onigiri with lots of love in it..we can find yummy onigiris in convenience stores but cannot find this anywhere else 🥰💕
She is amazing and her onigiri really is the best!
I love you Shizuka!!! Love your energy, enthusiasm, and passion for what you do. You're the ideal gf to go explore new foods and restos with! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you for your kind words!
Loved hearing all the Japanese spoken! Great video and amazing woman with a passion for her work🍙❣
Glad you enjoyed it!
one of my fav eps, love how you got to interview the chef/owner, would love to see more like this!
There will definitely be more!
LOVED the bright and playful energy in this video! The chemistry between Ukon-san and Shizuka was great, like kindred spirits 😊
Besties energy!
How is she 70? She looks like she could be in her 50s! Whats her skincare secret?! Also shizzy looking gorgeous as always, especially love this new hair color on her!
We want to know her skincare too!
I've seen this shop in another vlog, so her shop must really be popular.
Onigiri Bongo is super popular :)
Amazing place!!! Love everything. Thanks for another great vid
We are glad you liked it!
Onigiri! Yes, one of my fav foods! Reminds me of eating my mom’s and Oba-chan’s Onigiri when I was growing up. I will definitely stop by here when I visit my family. Thanks Shizuka! Awesome video!
Thank you for watching!
looks delicious. Always traditional japanese culture presented in a light and enjoyable way. congratulations.
Very glad you liked it!
I’m definitely visiting this shop when Japan opens!
Please do!
This lady is a master! Full Respect! I can listen to her explaining and teaching Shizuka about Onigiri all day. And respect to Shizuka for making Onigiri with a master at her side. Now I want Onigiri. 😉😉
Well said!
yay another fantastic episode from the charming and beautiful Shizuka, that spicy onigiri would be right up my alley. Yum 😋
Definitely recommended!
i hope shizuka will grow old like that landlady owner, beautiful,funny, and vibrant :D and yes she looks young for a 70 yr old
She is very youthful and full of energy!
Lol I love her, she’s so cute in explaining things lol
Love this, she's stunning, the way she does her job selling this simple menu but put an effort and passion into it that makes her different any other vendor, definitely will try it if i am in japan.
Couldn't agree more!
What a lovely owner and beautiful Onigiri. I believe her husband's dream came true as the name Bongo has echoed all over the world and now I want to visit and taste their delicious food.
Yes, we believe so too!
Shizuka made Onigiri 🍙 is delicious and a hearty meal 👍🏻😋
Yes :)
I had an airbnb booked around the corner from this shop and couldn’t wait to visit last September but alas the “panini” didn’t allow it! I hope to come and enjoy onigiri from her shop this year if I can! Fingers crossed!🤞🏾
The “ Panini” 😂😂
We hope you can come soon!
This one is wonderful,when i was in a vacation to japan,i visited this onigiri shop and it was recommended by my dad's friend and it was such a wonderful experience,there are huge differences between onigiri in japan compared to onigiri that sold in indonesia,it tastes like an actual food that mom would made for us and onigiri in indonesia tastes like a regular mini market food
We are happy to hear you liked it!
OMG this dish made me so hungry, I want to go to Japan and visit this shop. I would definitely visit this shop once I visit Japan
Please do!
I've seen many videos about this onigiri shop. I really want to try this out one day
Onigiri was really delicious!
Shizuka's way of appreciating good food really brings the joy of her food vlogs.
Very true!
When I retire. I will find a place to live right next to this shop and eat there everyday for the rest of my life.
That sounds like a great plan!
What a Great owner!
I would Love to visit that shop!
We highly recommend it!
After you try all the fancy food Japan has to offer you always go back to the basic.
Onigiri my mother made when I was a kid for sports day and school field trips I miss the most.
Oh, we can imagine they must have tasted delicious!
oh my God, that owner is such a kind Lady - how she speaks and gestures - this is why I love Japan ;A;
She truly is special!
their positive energy is so infectious
True!
i love Shizuka 😍
🥰🥰🥰
What a beautiful video to watch early in the morning. Thank you so much, Shizuka.
I am so inspired by this lady. She's 70 and have worked 5 am till midnight every day but still look young and energetic. She looked like someone who really loves her work.
p/s - I noticed the Tanjiro green and black chequered scarfs. Is she a descendant of the famous demon slayer? 😆. I wouldn't be surprised.
We noticed that too haha! It is quite a popular pattern in Japan now:)
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
I like that they use cream cheese which is normally an "american" addition to japanese food but here its being used by natives in a dish for natives. Love it.
Oh my goodness I'm getting hungry they look so yummy and delicious.🍙😋🍘 🤤
IT was sooo tasty
I want to try the egg one!
A great choice!
Hi she is funny and friendly also thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Looks absolutely incredible! It looks like the Otsuka location recently closed. Even sadder: I think I walked right in front of that shop in 2019. I want to visit the other location next year!
Did it really? Yelp seems to label it still active.
I REALLY want that egg yolk onigiri....
It was great!
like the food, seems tasty...
A must go for sure !
i want to go now 😍
Please do!
That raw egg yolk onigiri looks to die for!!!!!!
Yesss!
Shizuka Anderson is my favorite flavor haha =D
I am hungry now, thank you
Eat some onigiri ! :)
Shizuka is so pretty
my gosh Shizuka Anderson is so gorgeous!
She is!
great video, I would have to say that my favorite Onigiri would be tuna and Mayo, I just can't have any dairy with Onigiri, hehe, another Onigiri favorite that I like is one with salmon, you make great videos, cant wait for the next one 😋 😉
Thank you for watching!
I hope to go there some time.
We recommend it!
I watch their youtube videos whenever they drop! haha. you too!
I might try these today! I could do the egg yolk ones :)
Give it a try!! So easy to make! 😋 you could probably try marinating the yolks in soy sauce and mirin or something!
@@ShizukaAnderson I think they said they use soy sauce. I have both in the fridge the only thing I can't find in Ohio is Miso paste.
She didn't mention it but they have English menus available.
Hi Shizuka!
Hiiiii! 🥰
Hi JapanByFood team, please kindly help me inform Madam Ukon Yuriko-San that I totally get what she meant by the onigiri that mother make is the best and it can't be replicated. I too grew up having breakfast made by my late mother and although not exactly onigiri, is very similar in terms of ingredients and even though I have access to better quality ingredients now, I totally cannot replicate the taste that my late mother used make and those breakfast she made brought back so many memories and is the best breakfast in the world!
Onigiri filled with love :)
Her skin is better than mine. I'm 31
Love your eyes when you smile. Love U
Oh my gosh!!! Yuriko is breathtakingly beautiful. I had assumed she was in her early 40's!
We did too!
Sensei Yumiko looks familiar, it's Yumiko right not Yuriko? anyways she doesn't look her age at all, I love how the light reflects off her pretty smile, I'm wanting Onigiri now, will have to visit the Japantown in my area
She does not age at all!
I’m so excited to try these in a few months. I hope the line won’t be too crazy though😅
Hope so too!:P
I don't know about 5 hrs .. when i was living in Tokyo for 2 years i frequented this place a lot. During lunch rush hour it was typical to wait 40 minutes.
But if you go like 4PM ? It's dead and you can just walk in. The pro-move is to get their phone number and place your order like that for pick-up if your making a large order (10+)
You`d always want 3 when you eat here though, and get the egg menu set :-)
thanks for sharing!
I think this is already the third Japan vlog which featured this restaurant.
They are very popular!
Please let me in. I want to taste it 🤤 I hope Japan will open country in this year
Maybe?
We hope so too!
Hey Shizuka, great video. Have you ever been to a European Cheesemonger? I think you'd love it if not! Not sure if somehow that has become a thing in Japan yet.
We will have to check that out! :)
I like Tuna and Kewpie in my rice ball, with a little soy sauce. It is so Oishi.
Yes oishiiiii!
Such a lovely woman.
She is!
rice job guys
What a lovely woman
I've never seen raw egg yolk in Onigiri before. Wow!
It was delicious!
I'd love to try that place I've heard about it too looks so good 🍙🍘
Just don't get why U can't show the front of the shop ? Good for business too?
The owner of the building is not Yuriko-san and doesn’t like the front to be shown for privacy reasons! :(
@@ShizukaAnderson thanks for your reply shizuka!!!! Fuzzy owner of the building then!! 🤨✌🏻
there is no way the owner is 70......
its Tanjiro's Obasan
Shizukaaaaaaa
As always Shizuka a fantastic vlog but I think it’s time you guys sent samples back to canada lol 😂
Why could you not show the building ?
The owner of the building lives above it and didn’t want to show it for privacy issues! 🤫
The restaurant owner speaks the truth about the number 1 onigiri will always be the one that your mom made for you
Very true!
Kiyotaka Sugiyama - Summer Suspicion.
This song reminds me of you. 😅
😊
Ohh my.. Tanjiro checkered pattern #KimetsunoYaiba
👍
literally just googled Itadakimasu cause Shizuka says it and wow how interesting, i should say it at the sushi restaurant next time lol
Yes, that’s the perfect place to use it! 😁
@@ShizukaAnderson is that Shizuka or her PA lol
wow your accent is good, you must be Japanese?
Shizuka is beautiful and charming 😸
She truly is!
Tanjiro fan!
oh man, i wonder if they can make hummus onigiri
That sounds like a great combo!
So many Japan channel on comment. What happen? Did spring come early?
Wow I've now seen literally 5x feature videos about this same store in the last month. Did they do a press junket or something?
Good advertising for them, though.
Hahah, must have been a coincidence!:D
Awwww…. She works such long hours ……
Very hard-working!
SHIZUKAAAAAAA
Why don’t people just order in advance and skip the line?
That host is beautiful 🤩
Why can't you show the outside of the building?
