TOKUYAMATCHA & ONIGIRAZU BAR - Japanese restaurant in New York - 627 E 6th St, USA

Amazing! Everything was really good. Good size sandwiches. Matcha is very tasty. I would definitely go back for more to try other sandwiches. Downside. The place is small so you can't sit and eat. Mostly just pick up and go. Also sandwiches sell out very quickly so try to get there early if you can

Spotted this place on Instagram and decided to give it a try. The place is tiny, making it more suitable for takeout. Opted for the mackerel roll, and it was undeniably delicious. The flavors were on point, and the quality of the ingredients shone through. If you're in the mood for a quick and tasty Japanese street food fix, this place is worth a visit.

Yum. Fried chicken karaage with chili oil onigirazu is winner for a midday snack. Place is small and cute and has quite a large menu. I might order ahead if I go back because it was tight and took a few min to prep. One thing to note is that while the onigirazu appear quite large in photos they are very wide and thin, making it nearly impossible to eat as one would a sandwich and not exactly the most filling. Would definitely recommend if you’re nearby, but maybe get an additional item if you need a full meal.

The food here is really tasty and made to order. When I grabbed my order it was still hot because it was made right in front of me. I love how fresh it was. I had originally come here after a food instagrammer had mentioned this was a good place to eat! I got the chicken karaage with chili oil crisp onigiri along with the iced matcha latte with oat milk to go. I think the food was made relatively quickly. I really loved the matcha! I highly recommend! I paid about $20.40 in total for both the onigiri and the drink. I was definitely full, but it might be on the slightly more expensive side for those who want to grab a quick snack. The shop itself has a traditional Japanese ramen stall shop feel. It can be a little small, but if you wait outside, it’s all good. There is a bench outside to sit on, but other than that there is no place to sit and dine in. This shop is more so a “eat on the go” type of shop.

All their onigirazu are made to order — the rice is still hot to touch! They cut the rice sandwich into half. The price (~$10 after tax) is reasonable as the onigirazu is packed with rice and ingredients. If you have a small appetite like me, you can save another half for your next meal which makes it extra worth it. We arrived at 4 so unfortunately most of their popular items have already sold out, including the Ramen-ish and Chicken Karaage Chili Oil onigirazu. Anyway it must be a sign to urge me come again early for these and of course, their matcha. ＊ Salmon Avocado Onigirazu A comforting combo that I can eat every day. The salmon flakes were well seasoned with nice touches of mayo and wasabi. The avocado slices were fresh and creamy, which made a perfect balance to the savory side. ＊ Teriyaki Chicken Onigirazu Tbh the teriyaki chicken tasted like frozen chicken skewers I bought at Japanese supermarket lol but it’s alright I like them. The overall flavor was a bit bland and one-note, but it was a good option to take some proteins.

Delicious and fresh onigiri! Definitely recommend both of the fried chicken ones. Service was fast, one small table to eat at outside. Takes less than 10 min to get your onigiri and go. Will definitely be coming back to try their matcha!

Okay, went here because my friend had seen a reel about it. First off it is so small and packed you have to squish into this basically hallway just to get in and order. They are so slow, we waited a good 20 min just to order and then another 30 min for them to make our food. And other people there said they waited over an hour for one thing. When the food came out it was good, but honestly couldn’t tell if I enjoyed it a lot or was just so hungry. It isn’t authentic Japanese food though, I’ve lived in Japan so I feel I should know lol.

Super small place that can be easy to miss unless you see the long line of people waiting to order. I got the karaage chicken with garlic chili oil and the tofu nugget onigiri and they were both SO good. The wait time can be a little long but it’s definitely worth it because the food comes out warm and made with love. I would’ve tried the matcha but I biked and didn’t want to drink anything but everyone was getting them and they looked so good and are made fresh so I’ll have to go back soon!
