969 NYC Coffee

Tokuyamatcha & Onigirazu Serves Portable, Affordable Japanese Rice Sandwiches in the East Village | Eater NY

"In Jackson Heights I visited 969 Coffee, a tiny coffee and snacks shop opened in 2016 by Mitsumine Oda that specializes in onigirazu and was one of New York’s earliest purveyors of the dish. Oda fills his sandwiches with combinations like shrimp patties, chicken or pork katsu, avocado, spicy mayo, American cheese, and carrot shards; there isn’t really a posted menu, so you tell him what type you want and he makes it to order. Nearly everything is priced around $5 and has remained that way since opening, making 969 one of the city’s most affordable onigirazu spots." - Emma Orlow
