ONI&Co. Expands Its Menu with Alaskan Seafood Delights

ONI&Co., a rice-based fast casual restaurant known for its commitment to transforming traditional Japanese onigiri into a world-class culinary experience, is set to enhance its menu with a selection of Alaskan seafood dishes starting May 1, 2026. This initiative aligns with the ongoing Alaskan Seafood Fair, running until May 24, and was developed in collaboration with the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute.

A Focus on Sustainability

With a mission to elevate onigiri, ONI&Co. sources ingredients that are not only high-quality but also sustainable. Among their premium selections is the special Aomori-grown rice called "Harewatari." The restaurant has a strong emphasis on transparency, working directly with producers to ensure a reliable supply chain for its ingredients, and the seafood used in the dishes is particularly crucial. The restaurant’s famed dish, "Charcoal-grilled Alaskan Cod with Matsutake and Yuzu Sticky Rice," uses 100% natural Alaskan cod, reflecting the quality of seafood sourced from Alaska’s meticulously managed fisheries.

As part of their commitment to sustainability, ONI&Co. has resonated deeply with Alaska's fishing philosophy, which pledges to connect future generations to a rich ocean resource by practicing responsible fishing. This fair showcases their commitment through the launch of a new bento option featuring Alaskan seafood, alongside existing favorites.

The Exclusive Menu for the Alaskan Seafood Fair

The Alaskan Seafood Fair showcases three sumptuous menu items, including:
1. Alaskan Pacific Cod Bento with Yuzu Daikon
A new creation featuring Alaskan Pacific cod, known for its moist and flavorful profile, paired with refreshing yuzu daikon.

2. Charcoal-Grilled Alaskan Salmon
A signature offering that has won customer admiration, this version incorporates tight-textured and flavorful Alaskan salmon, enhanced with the aroma of perilla, allowing the ingredients' natural flavors to stand out.

3. Charcoal-Grilled Alaskan Cod with Matsutake and Yuzu Sticky Rice
This beloved dish includes rich Alaskan cod char-grilled and paired with sticky rice infused with the fragrances of matsutake and yuzu, showcasing a perfect harmony of tastes.

Insights from ONI&Co.'s Leadership

Miyuki Kawaradani, CEO of Rice Platformer, emphasizes the restaurant's vision to elevate onigiri to a globally recognized fast casual standard. Having personally visited Alaska to observe their responsible fishing practices, she expresses admiration for the collaborative efforts between fishermen and the fisheries industry to manage seafood resources scrupulously. This strong commitment to preserving marine blessings for future generations has solidified the importance of Alaskan seafood in ONI&Co.’s offerings.

She states, "In this fair, we’re pleased to introduce the new Pacific cod bento alongside our classic salmon and cod offerings. We hope to convey the values of sustainability behind Alaskan seafood to our customers through our dishes at both the Gransta Tokyo and Tokyo Lab stores, which serve as gateways to Tokyo and its culinary heritage."
