Delicious onigiri. We came after it closed, but there were many flavors available for takeaway sitting on the counter. We explored the rest of the Katagiri market before taking an unagi and salmon onigiri to go. A delicious treat and wonderful protein-rice ratio for energy on our walk in the city.

Onigiri is really good. Takoyaki has less octopus meat than I expected. Price is appropriate.

If you are looking for a quick and delicious lunch on Lexington and 41st Ave. There are bento boxes, sushi and ramen. This is best Onigiri in the city. Homemade rice ball with quality Japanese rice.

I bought sushi from the store for many times. This is the first time like this, a small dead cockroach from my daughter’s sushi roll between the salmon & sushi rice. oh my god, my daughter was freaking out, me too. Were we lucky or what on 4/1. How did that happen? The store people should pay attention when making the sushi. I don’t know when we can forget about this dead issue.

This was perfect for a cheap yet tasty a filling lunch. They also have a good selection of Japanese groceries but I was here for their freshly made omusubi which they offer in a variety of flavors. I got a spicy tuna and chashu pork - both were delicious and two were the perfect amount for a nice lunch.

Came here for lunch as I love onigiri and found this place was close to work and had them. The line is very very long so plan ahead to account for time in line. I got the salmon onigiri it was

Rice balls are more flavorful than most convenience stores! Service is a bit rushed tho but you can pick up more rice balls on the shelves

Such a treat to find this place! Generous sized Onigiri, lots of veg options, and delicious. Highly recommend as a place to pop in and get a snack or if you’re in a nearby hotel and want something heartier and warming like ramen that is also well priced.
