Kyoto Onimaru Hougang: Premium Japanese Omusubi

At Hougang Mall, Kyoto Onimaru brings a taste of authentic Japanese omusubi tradition to Singapore, elevating a humble rice ball into something worth seeking out.

Rooted in Kyoto, Crafted with Care

Kyoto Onimaru's philosophy centres on bringing happiness through food, with a mission to bring warmth to customers every day through its omusubi. Each rice ball is made with 100% Japanese rice, freshly milled in Singapore, reflecting the precision, seasonality and reverence for ingredients that defines Japanese culinary tradition. Rather than treating onigiri as a quick, forgettable snack, Kyoto Onimaru approaches it as a genuine craft.

Grilled Rice, Premium Toppings

The menu is built around grilled rice sheets wrapped with premium nori and layered with equally premium toppings — bold, satisfying combinations designed to feel more like a proper meal than a convenience-store snack. The signature Fluffy Egg and Okaka Seaweed pairs silky tamagoyaki with seasoned rice and fragrant okaka bonito seaweed for an elegant, comforting result, while the Grilled Eel and Shichimi offers a more luxurious Kyoto classic, with glazed unagi fillet finished with sesame and seven-spice shichimi.

Something for Every Craving

Beyond the signature options, Kyoto Onimaru's menu spans crispy tempura fillings like shrimp and chicken tartare tempura, hearty grilled pork variations including a version topped with spicy mentaiko mayo and another smothered in melted cheese, and teriyaki-glazed proteins like chicken and mackerel. For a lighter, vegetarian option, the Fluffy Egg and Seaweed (Veg) pairs pillowy tamagoyaki with crisp seaweed and seasoned rice, though it's worth noting this contains egg and isn't suitable for vegans.

Feeding Groups and Events

Kyoto Onimaru also caters to bulk orders of more than 50 onigiri, suitable for meetings, gatherings and events of up to 400 people. Bulk orders can be placed with as little as one week's lead time, and the team responds to enquiries within one business day to verify order details. Islandwide delivery is available for bulk orders, with delivery fees applying, giving groups and businesses a straightforward way to feed a crowd with something a little more distinctive than standard catering.

Ordering Your Way

Customers can order directly through Kyoto Onimaru's own online platform, with online orders typically taking just an hour compared to the week-long lead time for bulk orders. The brand is also available on GrabFood and Foodpanda for those who prefer to order through a familiar delivery app, though islandwide delivery is only offered through Kyoto Onimaru's own ordering system, not via these third-party platforms. Both in-store pickup and delivery options are available for online orders too.
