Onigilly Japanese Kitchen Franchise Newsroom

Onigilly founder Koji Kanematsu explains how a small-footprint restaurant model can reduce costs, increase flexibility and create opportunities for growth in today's evolving restaurant landscape.

After 18 years of building the category, founder Koji Kanematsu sees onigiri becoming a go-to handheld option for Americans seeking convenient, affordable and healthier meals.

Onigilly Japanese Kitchen keeps its concept intentionally simple, which makes locations easier to staff, easier to operate and easier to replicate as the brand grows.
