Crema's Take
“This thoughtfully designed onigiri spot brings Japanese comfort food to Manhattan with a focus on quality ingredients and a sit-down experience that sets it apart from grab-and-go competitors. Beyond their signature rice parcels—which showcase both traditional flavors like ume and creative options such as kinoko mushroom—they craft inventive matcha lattes and pastries that make it a genuine destination for a leisurely coffee or snack rather than just a quick bite. It's the kind of bright, clean space where you'll want to linger with friends or family, even if you're just stopping by for an afternoon matcha and a pastry.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Super cute and trendy onigiri spot! Everything felt very nice and clean, and the space is thoughtfully designed. I really liked that it’s a sit-down place, since most onigiri spots are usually more grab-and-go — it makes the experience feel more relaxed and enjoyable. I do wish…
I went out with my sister, this place is nice and cozy ☺️. I order Inari to be honest the taste is good but it mostly rice with bit of meat and egg, I also Oder mango matcha latte I am not a huge fan of matcha so lol didn’t like it just wanted to try it 😅. BUT!! Sweet potato…
I wanted to love this place more than I actually did. We each got the set meal. I was really disappointed in the shrimp tempura onigiri, which was the monthly special. The rice could have used some seasoning as the shrimp itself was quite small, so it was mostly just eating…
