Unagi × Onigiri Burger, a new style of airport gourmet food featuring the much talked about ‘eel’, has been on sale since 5 December 2024 (Thursday).
The entire Onigiri Burger menu has been developed by the owner of the hard-to-book counter-only restaurant ‘Kizuna’ in Kyobashi, Osaka. The “ultimate Japanese taste” of carefully selected ingredients and Japanese craftsmanship, from the rice and seaweed to the ingredients and seasonings, can be enjoyed easily in one hand, just like a hamburger.
Eels have long been a good luck charm in Japan and are known as a healthy ingredient that helps to relieve fatigue and tonic. In particular, the fragrant eel cooked ‘kabayaki’ has a perfect balance of rich taste and fat, and the sweet and spicy sauce is a perfect match with the hot rice in the OnigiriBurger.
OnigiriBurger is proud to offer the first anniversary menu ‘Eel Kabayaki – Double Egg’ Onigiri Burger to those departing from Kansai International Airport to help them recharge their batteries for their journey with the nutritious ‘eel’ and to provide a special moment before boarding to fill them up both mentally and physically. We hope to deliver a special time that fills you up both physically and mentally before boarding.
Fragrant ariake laver and fluffy rice form the base for a luxurious layer of grilled eel kabayaki, which is steamed in the Edo style and has a ‘mochi’ (sticky) texture.
The thick, fatty eel is beautifully intertwined with the special eel sauce created for this menu by the owner of the famous restaurant, a master of the art of Japanese cuisine, and the flavour of the eel soaks into every grain of rice.
The balance of the whole dish is enhanced by the fresh and fragrant ‘sansho’ (Japanese pepper) of the ryotei class. It blends beautifully with the rich, sweet and spicy eel sauce and the juicy fat that spreads over the tongue, giving it a pleasant stimulation and a rich, lingering aromatic aftertaste.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
