The Creator

I grew up in Japan where onigiri was synonymous with happy lunch lovingly prepared by mum. Now that I'm a mum myself to active kids, I find onigiri lunches to be indispensable. These tasty triangles are not only a treat for the taste buds but also a powerhouse of quick nourishment that allows us to thrive.

Whether you’re a busy parent, a student juggling classes, or a professional navigating a hectic workday, onigiri is the perfect go-to sustenance that's not only wholesome and safe for most dietary needs, but also offers endless options of flavours.

This is why I started The Bento Bar - Wellington's first business specialising in onigiri, a classic Japanese comfort food now trending globally, energizing busy lives.
