As we were driving to Smith St , we stumble across, well not really; we drove pass this lil japanese cafe couple of times but didn’t really get a chance to check it out until yesterday when we were waiting at the lights and decided to give it a try since there were available parking on the street plus the weather was pretty shit to do window shopping anyway.
The cafe has a laid back look. Furnished with furniture that you can only see in That 70s show and blues music was played in the background, the feeling is almost like lazying at home.
DJ ordered the onigiri set and I went for the bento set. The onigiris were made from brown rice instead of the normal japanese rice.
Very healthy indeed and the price was quite reasonable. 
Be warned, this café is definitely not for attention seekers. It is so quiet that it almost felt like a library.
