What makes it special
Hand-written menus and wall signage set an understated but deliberate mood. The “nikisoburo tamagoyaki” (minced pork and egg yolk) is a crowd favorite. Pork soup is equally beloved—some customers order it alone. Lunch (11am–3pm) is eat-in or takeout; evenings (5pm–9:30pm) pivot to izakaya-style small dishes using the same fillings, with alcohol. Skews intergenerational: families at lunch, locals at night.

FAQ
How many onigiri fillings are there?
A wide rotation of standard options daily, plus limited seasonal specials each month. Some fillings come from customer requests.
Can I get pork soup on its own?
Yes. It's made fresh each morning from one of four broths and is popular enough that regular customers order just that.
Is there alcohol?
Only in the evening (5pm–9:30pm). Daytime is onigiri and soup only.
