onigirilattesandwichessalmon avocadofillingchicken karaagehojichabenchmiso tunaceremonial grade matcha
★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Obsessed is an understatement!! One of my new favorite spots. The matcha is so smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. None of that bitter aftertaste you sometimes get elsewhere. And don’t even get me started on the onigirazu… it’s comfort food wrapped up in the most creative, flavorful way. 😋
September 18 · Carmen BileckiThe onigiri was super delicious - I got the spicy tuna avocado and it was super flavorful. However, I was a bit disappointed by the matcha. I got the creamy matcha and it was very bitter and didn’t taste super high quality. My companion got the yuzu ginger and honey matcha and it was pretty good but didn’t taste that much like matcha.
July 18 · Juju CHad the fried chicken one and it was unfortunately drier than I hoped it’d be, with more rice-filling ratio, so you end up going through a lot of plain rice.Tried the tuna one from my partner and it was 10x better!
September 06 · MadalinaThe creamy matcha is kind of life changing. SO good. I truly believe it’s the best matcha order.The beef and ginger sandwich is a real star. It’s amazing. I wish the filling went a bit further to the edges so that you don’t end on large bites of rice but, it’s amazing overall.Great gluten free friendly option!There’s a small table outside but don’t count on getting seating on a weekend.
March 09 · Cassia AThe Black Sesame Latte is really Good.There is 1 Table outside with 2 chairs and 1 bench directly across on the edge of the side walk. No shade from the sun.
