About
Sosaku Onigiri is a tiny but devoted onigiri operation tucked into Stall 6A at Shepherd's Bush Market, run by a Japanese husband-and-wife team originally from Osaka. Each onigiri is handmade to order using authentic Japanese rice and a rotating selection of fillings, sold at the remarkably fair price of £3.80 each. The stall operates Monday to Saturday from noon and frequently sells out before closing — a reliable indicator of quality and demand. It is one of the very few London spots where a genuine taste of everyday Japanese food culture is available at Japanese prices.
Why it's on Washoku Guide
- Handmade to order by a Japanese couple from Osaka — each rice ball carries the flavour and texture that defines properly made Japanese onigiri.
- At £3.80 per onigiri, this is one of the most affordable authentic Japanese food experiences in London.
- Frequent sell-outs are a testament to the quality and the loyalty of the growing customer base at Shepherd's Bush Market.
- A genuinely everyday Japanese food experience — the kind of simple, perfect snack that sustains people across Japan, now available in west London.
