IRASSHAIMASE!
Welcome to The Onigiri Corner inside Asahi Imports. Inspired by the immaculate konbini (convenient stores) found all over Japan serving high quality, house-made grab-n-go products, we strive to bring that same level of quality and authenticity to our beloved city of Austin. Our kitchen team is helmed by first-generation Japanese women who have raised their own children and grandchildren and spent a lifetime making comforting, home-cooked meals for their families. That same love and tradition translates into our menu offerings at The Onigiri Corner: simple, satisfying and soul-soothing, just like mom makes.
