Our order

Start with the spicy salmon, a rice ball with spicy salmon inside. Then add a Spam musubi, which is Spam and rice wrapped in nori, for the road.

Next time, try the rest

The menu also has beef yakiniku and takana, which is pickled mustard greens, plus seasonal specials.1 The seasonal flavors rotate, so check their Instagram before you go.
