Great Onigiri

I absolutely love the kombu onigiri, Gomoku Inari, and groceries. They always have fresh produce, great prices, lots of tofu, good sake selection, and they have daily specials. I like to make my own onigiri and Inari at home and this is a great place to get everything you need. A lot of the prepped food isn’t vegan but works for vegetarians/pescatarians. Check the website for a list of all the onigiri flavors, bento boxes, and daily specials! I’d also recommend ordering ahead as they run out pretty quickly.

Yes please

The kombu onigiri is delicious, it's definitely the best out of their vegan onigiri options. I would suggest ordering the onigiri ahead of time, since the kombu flavor isn't always in stock. If the basket is empty and you're already at the store you can ask for it at the onigiri corner counter as well.

Appreciating Austin's adamantine appentency for Nippon alimentals.

Northside's abreuvoir to quench a craving for Japanese ryōri - the dawn of a new day brings Tokyo tastes to Austin.
