Great onigiri for the price! And love that there are veggie options (plain with salt, enoki mushroom, and takana greens). The enoki was our favorite!
For the price, the stuff here is awesome. I got two onigiri for $7 - both of which were stuffed a great amount with filling. Rice was also very fluffy and tasty.
Small mochi stand inside of japantown. I liked the fruit mochi here, nice flavors and excellent mochi quality and very reasonable pricing! Not a fan of the soy dango however, fruit flavors were exceptional.
Wish more places sold traditional Japanese (correct me if I'm wrong) streetfood like this. Props to the staff and owner for keeping this place going.
I had the matcha mochi. Cool, chewy, but a bit too sweet. I like that the fillings were different but the sweetness overpowered the flavor of the matcha.
Order was prompt; tables were filled which suggests tables are regularly cleaned by staff.
Atmosphere: way too hot man. This mall needs AC or windows.
Japantown keeps the mall (and associated bathrooms) clean.

Was in Japantown on a busy Sunday and had to stop by here since a friend of mine told me that they had some Onigiri's an Mitarashi Dango!
The Food: I went with a Spicy Salmon Onigiri and the Mitarashi Dango. The Onigiri was quite filling. It was bigger than what I'm used to getting in my area, which was quite nice. The salmon filling inside the Onigiri was plenty and flavorful. The Dango was good! However, I wish it was heated up when we got it. It was a little cold when I picked it up.
The Service: Orders will take a while if it's busy. I waited about 30-40 minutes for some onigiri's and dango. Staff members are friendly though. It's just the wait times that is frustrating.
The Atmosphere: Can be very crowded at times. There are some seats and tables for you to eat at, but not much since it's at an open court area.
Overall, a 4/5. Definitely recommend stopping by and giving this place a try. But only if you have the patience to wait about 30-40 minutes.

This shop has been here for so many years! I always dropped by when I was still in high school.
According to the employee they changed hands 4 years ago, but looks like the new owner is doing a good job of keeping the old menu & authenticity of this place, also added some new items. Surprisingly the prices haven't changed much!
The onigiri was freshly made (rice was warm when they gave it to me); the mango mochi I ordered had nice texture but was too sweet. I'd definitely go for more traditional flavor like matcha next time.

Kissako Tea is a great spot for a light snack!
In the plaza, it is a great spot to try out different kinds of small bites. I had eaten some pastries from Jina Bakes, and grabbed a matcha drink at Cafe Maiko.
Ordered the spam and umeshiso onigiri. Rice is served hot. You definitely need to eat this ASAP so the seaweed doesn't get soggy.
Staff is friendly. Street parking along the block.
