What to Order
Karepan (Deep-fried Curry 'beef' bun)
A savory deep-fried bun filled with authentic Japanese curry made with soybean products, offering a surprisingly beef-like flavor and texture.
"I tried the KarePan, 🍞 a "Deep-fried Curry 'beef' bun," and honestly, I wouldn't have guessed it was vegan and not beef! It's made with soybean products and was so 😋 yummy with authentic Japanese curry flavor."

Hojicha Latte
A warm, earthy, and smooth latte with a balanced, not-too-sweet flavor and smoky notes, offering a lower caffeine alternative to matcha.
"I get a hojicha at every cafe I can. This place makes the best one I’ve tried. Smooth. Easy to drink. Delectable."
Bambi
Japanese Pudding
A silky smooth, not-overly-sweet flan served in a glass container, praised for its authentic taste that mimics egg pudding without the egg.
"And the Japanese Pudding in a glass container? OMG, it tasted just like egg, but without the egg!"
Carmen.Y
Tiramisu (Hojicha/Matcha/Miso)
Vegan and dairy-free tiramisu available in various unique Japanese-inspired flavors like Hojicha, Matcha, and Miso, often preferred over traditional tiramisu.
"Both vegan and dairy-free, they were so good! I actually prefer them to original tiramisu. They held up perfectly in their glass containers for hours."
Carmen.Y
Onigiri
Traditional Japanese rice balls, a staple offering that reminds customers of authentic Japanese flavors.
"Love this spot for their onigiri and on the weekends they have their curry buns. Reminds me of Japan!"
Milan
"Karaage" (Fried Chicken)
A plant-based version of Japanese fried chicken, highly praised for its taste and texture, often featured on the Tsuchi plate.
"It blew me away, the “karaage” and pickled items were my favourite!"
