Only a limited run of two new onigiri-shaped ohagi is available at NIGICHA in Shinjuku, Tokyo. The seasonal sweets are the second store collaboration in the official OniKiri series from Kiri, pairing 100% glutinous rice with Japanese-style fillings and cream cheese.
The two products are sold from September 15 through October 31, 2026, at NIGICHA Shinjuku Gyoenmae. They are available in individually wrapped portions, while supplies last, making the cafe a convenient stop near Shinjuku Gyoenmae Station during the autumn season.
The in-store lineup includes Matcha-an OniKiri Ohagi for ¥480 (tax included) and Chestnut Kinton OniKiri Ohagi for ¥530 (tax included). Both are served at the Shinjuku Gyoenmae cafe, where the sweets can be enjoyed with matcha or Japanese tea.
About the NIGICHA ohagi
Second OniKiri store collaboration
NIGICHA presents Matcha-an OniKiri Ohagi and Chestnut Kinton OniKiri Ohagi as the second store collaboration in the official Kiri OniKiri series. The two sweets are available at the Shinjuku Gyoenmae cafe from ¥480 (tax included).
Matcha-an OniKiri Ohagi
Matcha-an OniKiri Ohagi costs ¥480 (tax included). Rich matcha bean paste and Kiri cream cheese are layered over the ohagi, then finished with roasted green tea powder and edible gold leaf.
Individually wrapped matcha ohagi
Each Matcha-an OniKiri Ohagi is individually wrapped. Its rice-ball shape gives the ¥480 (tax included) Japanese sweet a familiar appearance, while the matcha filling and Kiri cream cheese create a richer dessert profile.
Chestnut Kinton OniKiri Ohagi
Chestnut Kinton OniKiri Ohagi costs ¥530 (tax included). Chestnut kinton filling and Kiri cream cheese are layered with candied chestnut and edible gold leaf for an autumn dessert.
NIGICHA shapes its ohagi like familiar rice balls, but uses glutinous rice from Shonai, Yamagata, instead of regular rice. The texture is soft and chewy, while Kiri cream cheese adds richness and a subtle salty note that balances the sweetness of the bean and chestnut fillings.
Chestnut ohagi packaging
The ¥530 (tax included) Chestnut Kinton OniKiri Ohagi is individually wrapped in packaging that keeps its approachable rice-ball shape visible and easy to enjoy.
Earlier Dainagon An Butter Ohagi
NIGICHA began selling Dainagon An Butter Ohagi on September 1, 2026. The cafe presents rice-ball-shaped ohagi as a modern Japanese sweet to enjoy with Japanese tea.
