Onigiri Tanakaya

Inside this clean, aesthetic spot near Union Square, the daily selection of onigiri and norimaki (sushi hand rolls) is displayed at the counter. Made with premium Japanese rice wrapped in nori, the rice balls feature fillings such as chashu roast pork, spicy tuna mayo, and Ikura with grilled salmon. Along with these freshly made options, shelves are stocked with imported Japanese pantry items, snacks, and drinks. While visitors praise the soft, sticky texture of the counter offerings, customer experiences are mixed regarding the freshness of pre-packaged options.
