Japanese$

Amidst the eclectic jumble of shopfronts on Addison Road lies this cosy retreat for Japanese comfort food. All-day dishes, such as the onigiri set, are light-but-generously-portioned. It’s served with two rice balls plump with peppery mustard greens, delicate dashi-braised eggplant, pickled bamboo shoots, miso soup and spinach in sweet sesame dressing. Pair with a batch brew from Sample Coffee or try the cult green-tea gelato milkshake.

Must-order dish: Spicy cod roe melt.
