De passage à Montréal ce week-end, nous avons adoré cette adresse ! On sent le souci du détail & la qualité des ingrédients. Tout était délicieux. Une excellente découverte que je recommande sans hésiter ! 😊

Nous avons acheté 3 Kakigoris à la mangue. (45$). Ce que nous avons reçu ne ressemblait pas du tout à ce que nous avons payé. Cela ne ressemblait pas du tout à la photo, il y avait à peine un tiers de ce qui était montré sur la photo dans un petit bol en carton. Nous avons payé 15 $ le pot & clairement ça ne valait pas ça. Nous l'avons indiqué à la serveuse qui s'est excusée & nous a dit qu'elle en parlerait au responsable. Mais pas de remboursement.

As someone with Japanese heritage, eating this onigiri brought tears to my eyes. The taste was so familiar & comforting, reminding me of cherished memories & authentic flavors from my childhood. Yet at the same time, it had something special all its own.

The rice was perfectly prepared, the filling was delicious, & every bite reflected the care & quality that went into making it. Simple, authentic, & incredibly satisfying. This was one of the best onigiri experiences I've had outside of Japan.

What made the experience even more special was the thoughtful service. I mentioned that I was hoping for some hot green tea, & she kindly offered to warm up a bottled green tea for me. It turned out to be the perfect accompaniment to my meal & was exactly what I was looking for. That small gesture made me feel genuinely cared for & added to the warmth of the entire experience.

Absolutely delicious food, wonderful hospitality, & an experience I won't forget. I cannot wait to come back.

Fresh-made onigiri with lots of delicious, authentic options. Great value, especially with the combo that includes mochi. A perfect stop inside Jean-Talon Market.

Bonne petite place à onigiris. Rien de bien palpitant, mais respectable outre mesure. Bonne bière en bonus. Les onigiris sont joliment confectionnés. Mais ils sont plus petits que ce que je suis habitués. C'était bien.

Service adéquat.
