  • 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.

  • Good onigiris! They also come individually wrapped, just like typical Japanese konbini. Quick service and low price for a little snack. Beware it gets very busy! Came during a slow week day and even though they were churning onigiris left and right, I still waited ~10min to get mine (~10 customers before me). Super recommend!

  • I don’t even want to tell you people about it, but that just seems so selfish. The mochi here is REALLY good-they bring it in fresh every day, production is in San Jose. Which is great because it’s so good, but bad because in my experience they start running out late afternoon. There isn’t much to say, it’s just really high quality and fresh. It is a little bit on the sweeter side though. The made to order red bean paste snacks are awesome as well, only reason I don’t get them every time I go is because I get so much mochi.

  • I liked this place overall. We tried two rice onigiri (okaka [bonito flakes] and tenmusu [shrimp tempura]), which were pretty good and freshly made but could have used more flavor. We also tried the mochi. The berry mochi had an artificial flavor, but the the haru mochi were good. We went again and the second time liked the onigiri (plain and chicken teriyaki) better. The mango mochi had an artificial flavor reminiscent of the berry mochi, but the habutai mochi was good. I guess the moral of the story is to get the traditional Japanese mochi rather than the new-fangled fruit flavored ones.
