Discover the OnigiriBurger Experience at Tokyo Dome

Starting May 23, 2025, fans attending the Yomiuri Giants versus Tokyo Yakult Swallows game at Tokyo Dome will have an exciting new culinary option: the OnigiriBurger, crafted by OKAGESAMADAE Co., based in Kobe, Japan. This innovative food item replaces traditional burger buns with 'rice and seaweed', presenting a unique and portable way to enjoy this great Japanese comfort food. The OnigiriBurger will be available at a limited-time pop-up shop located in the Gourmet Street on the first floor of Tokyo Dome.

Previously, OnigiriBurger has made its mark primarily at Kansai International Airport, serving international travelers. With past appearances at sports events including soccer and tennis matches, the Tokyo Dome marks its debut as a stadium food option. This highlights the exciting intersection of sports and traditional Japanese flavors.

All menu items have been developed by the owner of the well-established sushi restaurant 'Sushi Kizuna' in Osaka’s Kyobashi district, known for its difficulty in getting reservations. Each component, from the rice to the seaweed and seasoning, represents top-quality selections combined with expert craftsmanship aimed at delivering the 'ultimate taste of Japan'. This concept is encapsulated in the company’s motto, 'MAKE FOR YOU', promising a freshly made and heartfelt OnigiriBurger experience.

A Seasonal Menu to Delight

At the OnigiriBurger Tokyo Dome pop-up, a selection of the most popular offerings from Kansai International Airport will be featured. This includes items that perfectly marry rice and seaweed with diverse fillings, highlighted by specially developed sauces from the acclaimed chef at Sushi Kizuna. These flavors can be enjoyed while cheering for your favorite team.

One standout is the 'Samurai Kobe Beef Steak Burger', which marries the tenderness of Kobe beef shoulder with a special sauce co-developed by experts from both the sushi and meat sectors. The other signature item to try is the BBQ Yakiniku Burger, famed for its generous portion and remarkable flavor; a special Kobe beef version will be available exclusively at Tokyo Dome.

The Tokyo Dome location is set to become a go-to spot for fans during hot summer games, featuring items like 'Farm Fresh Soft Serve', which captures the taste of freshly squeezed cow's milk, and 'Delicious Croquettes' made from domestic black-haired Wagyu beef, pairing perfectly with beer, enhancing the culinary spectator experience.

For groups, the attractive 'Party Box' filled with five OnigiriBurger delights is available, making it ideal for sharing among friends and family while enjoying the baseball atmosphere.

A Growing Trend in Stadium Cuisine

Rice has long been cherished as a power food for athletes, revered for its nutritional richness and energy efficiency, making it popular among sports professionals in soccer, baseball, and tennis. OnigiriBurger seeks to highlight this nutritional powerhouse by integrating it into the stadium dining experience, successfully engaging fans and sport lovers together. Previously present in the J-League and international tennis tournaments like the Rakuten Open, this new outlet at Tokyo Dome is a bold step for OnigiriBurger in the realm of stadium gastronomy, bridging Japan's time-honored culinary traditions with dynamic sporting events.
