My absolute go-to place for a nourishing breakfast or lunch, Omusubi Cafe will charm you with the purposeful beauty of Japanese cuisine.

With 5-6 dishes served on small plates, you can enjoy variety. My classic order was a set with salmon onigiri, chicken karaage, green beans with sesame, and Japanese pickles– plus a matcha latte on the side.

A meal here leaves you feeling satisfied, refreshed, and more than ready to take on the streets of surrounding Daikanyama.
