Japanese$

Move over sushi: Onigiri is the hand-held lunch of choice in Japan, bought from convenience stores in cleverly wrapped parcels. While our 7-Elevens aren’t up to Tokyo standards, this Onigiri Kitchen location is Melbourne’s hole-in-the-wall pitstop for Japanese rice balls filled with kimchi, honey and soy pork, and karaage chicken. There are also bentos, shokupan toasties and airy tofu doughnuts.
