Fresh Japanese onigiri · London

Onigiri, made the Komeya way.

We source premium Japanese rice, blending traditional handcrafted technique with modern aesthetics — bringing the pure, refined flavours of Japan into everyday British life, and redefining what grab-and-go food can be.

Our starting point

From Japan to the UK, one rice ball at a time.

What that means day to day

Every Komeya onigiri is built on carefully sourced Japanese rice, prepared with traditional handcrafted technique and finished with a modern eye — so a quick lunch never feels like a compromise.

Our
product

Simple. Fresh. Grab-and-go.

At the heart of Komeya is onigiri — the Japanese rice ball, a simple and convenient everyday food enjoyed the world over. Ours is made using carefully selected Japanese rice, seaweed and quality fillings, bringing together a modern grab-and-go format with a genuinely well-made result.

Premium ingredients

Carefully selected, high-quality seaweed and Japanese rice, with the soft, slightly sticky texture that defines authentic onigiri.

Fresh, varied fillings

A combination of classic Japanese favourites and contemporary flavours developed specifically for the UK market.

Centralised production

All food preparation happens at our central kitchen and arrives ready to serve — our shops hold no cooking equipment and run no food production on site, so every visit stays quick, clean and consistent.

Made fresh daily

Prepared through our central kitchen and delivered daily to every store, supporting consistent quality and efficient, low-footprint retail operations.

Business
model

A central-kitchen led model, integrating physical and digital channels to deliver consistent quality everywhere.
Standardised production

Central kitchen

All core food preparation is completed at our central kitchen, ensuring consistent quality, food safety and production standards, then distributed daily to our retail locations.

Wide coverage

Physical stores

Compact takeaway stores sit in high-footfall locations — around offices, transport hubs and busy commercial areas — for convenient access to fresh onigiri throughout the day.

Innovative channels

Smart vending

Smart refrigerated vending machines extend Komeya beyond traditional stores, bringing our products into offices, universities, residential buildings and other high-traffic locations.

Grab-and-go, simple

Clean, simple

Our stores focus on quick takeaway service with minimal on-site preparation. Centralised production removes the need for heavy kitchen equipment, keeping every location clean and efficient.

Expansion
plan

Building a dense local network before expanding steadily nationwide.
Next two years

A dense London network

We plan to open 30 directly operated stores and install 100 vending machines across London, forming a dense urban network within convenient reach across the city.

From 2030

Beyond London

We will gradually expand into major UK cities such as Manchester and Birmingham, continuously growing our reach — from a city leader to a recognised national chain.
