This locale has had many iterations, but the owners keep spicing it up and exploring new options…this is a Middle Eastern/Lebanese direction and the foods were divine and complemented quite nicely by the drinks!
You must end your meal with the Olive Oil Cake!

Got the special lunch box with the tuna Onigiri. Everything is perfectly seasoned and sauced. The rice was still warm and suffused with sesame seeds.

Absolutely perfect. Order the sake in a juice box for the premium experience.

Wow! I don’t know if it’s the flavor combinations, the fluffy rice, or both. But these have got to be the best onigiris we’ve had (Japanese hubby who grew up in Hawaii agrees). We got the tuna mayo and ume konbu for dine in and we loved them so much, we decided to get other onigiris to go. Also got the Smokey peach cocktail and it was tasty and well balanced. Such a cute little spot in Capitol Hill and incredibly friendly staff.

Husband brought home the roasted corn and nasu miso. They were wonderful. Drove 2hrs to Seattle and had to stop in for more. The staff and food was great. A very pleasant experience.

Great spot for a quick bite. We got the tuna mayo, salmon basil and nasu miso onigiri. All of them were delicious. Would highly recommend this place. The owner was great and also gave us a sampling of the sweet potato salad and the sesame Daikon which were also great 10/10. Come show your love if you are in Seattle.

Rie, the owner, is seriously one of the most amazing kindest humans we’ve met in Seattle. We live next door so we come here often and Rie frequently sends us home with extra goodies as a “snack for later” haha. She even gave us Sapporo bar glasses to take home because she said she had too many. My favorite thing on the menu is the cucumbers, however she doesn’t have them right now due to a recent recall. She said they will be back soon though! The peach lime soda she makes is also delicious. If you have time to try this place, do it, you won’t regret it!

My favorite spot for a quick and tasty bite! All of the onigiri are so delicious, and the side dish portions are huge. The owner is also very sweet. Great for dining in or take out.
