About
In September 2025, Japanese chef Kaoru Iriyama and co-founder Maxim opened OKA Onigiri on Oranienburger Straße in Berlin-Mitte. The concept — Berlin's first onigiri chef's table — places the art of the hand-shaped rice triangle center stage: around 20 varieties, from salmon and beef sukiyaki to ume and spicy avocado, are prepared fresh daily. Guided by kaiseki philosophy, which prizes simplicity and care above all else, OKA bridges Japanese street food and fine culinary craftsmanship.
