THE IMA ONIGIRI WORKSHOP

Japan's favourite snack, from your own hands.

IMA has been serving onigiri to its fans since 2018, and now the team is opening up the kitchen to show you how it's done. Join them for a hands-on workshop dedicated to one of Japan's most loved snacks - equal parts fast food, slow food and soul food, and the kind of thing that, once you've nailed it, you'll find yourself making at home all the time.

Shape and fill your own onigiri, then sit down to eat them alongside pickles, miso soup and okazu prepared by ima team. Japanese tea sourced directly by ZENTEA and dessert round out the meal - and you'll head home with recipes, an onigiri mould and extra onigiri to take with you. Let's roll!

$120/head

Tickets available from 🔗 in bio & website.
