"Ozu is small, but it’s the best spot for lunch on Lena Street. Go for a solo meal at the counter with a salmon bento, steaming mug of sencha green tea, and a view of the kitchen churning out sour ume and cod roe onigiris. After an ikura temaki or two, take a look at the pantry items like their house Japanese curry powder or loquat jam that goes perfectly on a muesli loaf from Bread Shop a few doors down. And it’s worth checking out Ozu’s across-the-street counterpart kitchenware store Tenzo, for all the tools you’ll need for donburi or sashimi at home." - Nina Katz
