Description



Behind the counter, two Japanese Okasan prepare the authentic onigiri. The focus here is on texture: unlike the hard, crumbly pre-made options found in grocery store cases, these feature plump, seasoned rice that is chewy, slightly sticky, and served fresh. Options include fillings like high-quality umeboshi. Operating strictly as a takeout-only spot, it makes for a quick snack stop, backed by friendly service that has even been known to hand out free cookies.
