This one’s a bit of a toss-up. The saba came out a little too fishy for me. It’s not quite the clean, briny hit I was hoping for. But if you’re into bold-flavoured mackerel, this might still be your thing.

The salmon okowa was the real win here. Light, savoury and mellow, with tender flakes of salmon tucked into chewy glutinous rice. Comforting without being heavy — an easy, satisfying bite.

It comes with the usual cabbage slaw, miso soup and tea. Nothing fancy but just enough to tie everything together for a fuss-free meal 》$16.90
