An ode to the versatility of rice, from the teams behind Marrickville cafe Kurumac and Mapo Gelato. The fridges are stocked with grab-and-go onigiri for commuters and Sydney Park picnickers, but they’re best made to order, when crisp sheets of nori envelope fluffy triangles of still-warm rice, gently flavoured with shiso, roe or pickled mustard leaves. The signature soft-serve “rice cream” is a toasty vanilla, coiled into paper cups with a sprinkling of rice puffs, fast-consumed beneath the 10-kilogram rice sculpture suspended from the ceiling.
