“This shop is in ocean mart, and ran by a very sweet Japanese lady who I presume owns the stall. The food is made to order by her, and tastes like your Japanese mother cooked it. Food made with love Onigiri: 4.2/5: For $8.50, you get 2 onigiri of choice. I opted with tuna mayo and umeboshi (plum). The onigiri are made fresh to order and are well packed with filling. The tuna is well seasoned, so it goes well with the rice. For those who haven’t tried umeboshi, it’s very sour, but I love it. The lady puts one on top and two in the middle, so there’s plenty of ume to go around. The only knock is that it falls apart after a couple of bites. I think they use regular jasmine rice for it. Shogayaki 5/5: This one of the most comforting dishes I’ve ever had. Marinated, thinly sliced pork belly on a bed of rice. The pork has a similar flavor profile to gyudon, but has a warm ginger taste. She also adds a good amount of green onion on top that cuts the fattiness of the pork. The sauce also penetrates the rice under the pork, so the rice gets really flavorful as well. The portion is also enormous. As a certified big back (got my membership card and everything), it will make you full. Support this place. A shop ran by one sweet owner, who serves comforting Japanese food.”
