Junbi

My very first review. I actually came here at August last year, but til now I decided to write a review. Both the atmosphere and service was great, and it’s pretty chill for you to grab a milk tea and hang out around the Prinston University. And I love this drink with matcha and strawberry, it’s sooo good! The only small thing is that it was still a little sweet even though I chose low sugar. So if you’re not a big fan of sweet drinks, I’d recommend going for the lowest sugar level. Overall, definitely worth coming back for!

Near Prinston University, so the whole atmosphere is pretty good tho. The drink is pretty nice and flavorful, also the service is great. 10/10

This places overall, really good. Their Matcha is amazing! The only thing is last time me and my friend got the mango refresher and it was not my favorite (lots of pulp)

They have lots of matcha soft serve, latte and boba tea options! I got the matcha soft serve affogato (double matcha shot). The matcha is not bitter and tastes super fresh- they use ceremonial grade matcha powder. My only drawback was that there were a lot of ice crystals in the matcha shot portion of my affogato. Other than that loved the rich and not overly sweet drink! Overall- 4.5/5 from me!

This was a very busy establishment and worth the wait. Yummy tasting and unique flavors of drinks. I did a build my own drink which was a strawberry green tea with boba. Too bad, the girl didn’t suggest that there’s a drink called Cold Strawberry Jasmine Tea, which I definitely would’ve switched the drink. Anyway, check it for a refreshing beverage!

Just wanted to take a moment to recognize Justin! Normally, the staff ignores us when we walk in, but Justin welcomed us in as soon as we entered. We came in two days ago and wanted to try something new. Justin recommended us the purple special drink (forgot what it was called but it was amazingggg). He told us it was only his second day on the job which was surprising considering he made our drinks within a few minutes lol. Must have missed him today, we didn't get to see him when we visited earlier. Hope to have him as our server next time though!

So grateful to discover this new hidden gem in Princeton NJ. Went there with my family and tried the ceremonial grade matcha cold brew with vanilla cold foam…been thinking about it ever since. It was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS and quality matcha. I loved it and will be returning. Feeling blessed that they opened up one location in Princeton, we needed a quality matcha spot in NJ. God bless them and their company and their continued success. We also loved the decor and interior design, lovely colors and architecture. Very clean as well. Want to try the matcha soft serve next time.

Got the Grava Gauntlet and Taro Vanilla Matcha Latte. For matcha lover, I recommend the soft serve more than the bubble tea for strong matcha flavor. I personally love the taste of Guava and Lychee, but they are overpowering as they all sit at the bottom. The thin coconut ship are extra crispy though does not have strong flavor. The Taro matcha latte has decent amount of very sweet and starchy taro puree/paste, the flavor is good and taste like real taro. once the layers are blended, I can still taste the matcha quite well (but definitely not as strong as the soft serve). Bubbles are on the harder side and pretty chewy. Used coconut milk, could be good or bad depends on personal preference, the coconut flavor is fairly strong, so it does stand out in the drink.

Came back to junbi, left with a mediocre matcha. They just opened with the golden peach series so i got a golden peach blended matcha. It has a very weak matcha flavor nor is there a peach taste. Tasted like a semi sweet matcha slush. But in the bright side, they have these cute miffy cup sleeves now!

Came all the way from NY to try Junbi and sadly, it did not live up to the hype. I had high hopes for both the drinks and riceball and although the drinks were good, it was not phenomenal. The riceball on the other hand was just terrible. It was mold into a triangle and a seaweed was provided so you can DIY yourself. Once I took the riceball out of the bag, everything fell apart. The rice did not hold together and it was just very messy to eat. I would not recommended this as a to go snack.

A fantastic spot for matcha-based boba drinks. It's a staple in the community. Service is generally pretty fast, and there's plenty of seating (though may be occupied with students doing work). Nice ambience and generally pretty clean. There are also small hires available here, like onigiri and sandwiches. I love the variety of selections here and the creativity of the seasonal drinks. My go-to order is the iced dirty matcha (two shots of espresso) with boba. The blend of flavors from the espresso and matcha are my favorite!

Refreshing drinks. My husband and I both enjoyed our drinks very much. I got the strawberry matcha and he got the orange drink which tasted like creamsicle. It came with a cute little cup sleeve

I ended up checking out this spot because they had a collaboration with MIFFY and I really wanted to pick up the MIFFY cup. The service was mediocre as they messed up the milk in my drink but it was still decent. If I'm craving a sweetened matcha drink I would definitely check this place out again but it is a bit more pricier since it's a specialized matcha spot.

Usually character collabs are only in the west coast so I was soo excited to see that there was a Miffy collab on the east coast that's not in New York. I got the orange creamsicle matcha latte and my partner got the blended orange creamsicle. Many times when there's a collab company's won't put in too much thought and use the name to sell product but I could tell there was a lot of thought put in. The offerings were unique and worked well together - never thought orange and matcha could complement each other. Drinks came out pretty fast, a bit pricey but they seemed to use high grade ingredients and use eco friendly packaging.

It was a cold day in Princeton and I loved my warm strawberry matcha drink I asked for it with coconut milk and cold foam and my soul was happy. I could taste what I think was strawberry pulp almost tasted like watermelon. Definitely something different but tasty. The place was cute and the barista was helpful . Thanks Junbi

I was super excited to see this boba chain hit the East Coast. I ordered the matcha latte with 0% sugar level and no ice. I would have preferred it if there was a choice of a smaller size. Don't know why the drinks are so large these days. I feel like I am forced to pay a higher price for something that only comes in one size. After placing the order, it was ready in less than a minute. In other words, it is probably premade. Interior is old and not that inviting. Service was alright, and so was the drink. Tastes like a watered down matcha latte even though it is made with oat milk. Will not be returning.

Strawberry matcha was okay, for the onigir but the rice was so dry , it taste like old rice and it broke apart quickly

Pleasantly surprsied with matcha taste and no clumps. Not sure if they whisk it or have a pre-made batch. The other drinks were very good and I would come back again to try more. The inside is a bit dark but there are tables for hanging out and doing some light computer work if you'd like.

A beautiful colorful and bright spot. The place is specious and there is lots of seating. There are two screens to order from (you can also order up front as well). They have a lot of options such as slurpees, matcha lattes, teas, rice balls & matcha ice cream. I tried the strawberry jasmine tea which was a nice refreshing drink and did not take long to recieve. I'd like to come back and explore the other options on the menu.

Cute hang out bubble tea spot. The tea menu is a little different from your typical boba place. There are a lot of matcha flavored variations. The add-one are a little more unique too, with almond jelly being a stand out. My kids said the bubble tea is really good. The place is pretty spacious, with seating and tables. There are a couple of self serve kiosks where you can order your drinks.

Visited here the second time and it was just as good as the first. I really enjoyed my Cold Strawberry Matcha Latte. The perfect blend of strawberry and matcha flavors. My friend ordered the Spiced Hojicha Latte w/ Vanilla Cold Cap but asked for no pumpkin spice. Her drink was stronger on the hojicha flavor and a light espresso flavor at the end. It was a good combo, we never had hojicha latte before... different but good!

Got the matcha vanilla soft serve with aloe bits and hojicha dusting! So good we went back for seconds, junbi's soft serve is delicious. Came with free topping and dusting.

Soft serve is matcha perfect! I've not been able to get past ordering other items on the menu other than the the soft serve. This soft serve has a great matcha flavor that really comes through even with a cold taste. As far as the sweetness level, it's just perfect to complement the matcha. Each serving is also a solid portion leaving you not wanting much more. I'd like to try other items on the menu because there are other items I'd like to try that look just as perfect. They also have a limited selection of popular Doughnut Plant doughnuts as well. They didn't identify them as such in my first visit but I clearly recognized them, given the fact I've had more than my fair share. On my visits, staff service was pleasant with good advice. Seating in the dining area was available and inviting with free WiFi.

Junbi is a great spot to have your Matcha and catch up with friends. Ample space and seating. They have a great options and nondairy options available. WiFi available if you need to catch up on work. Overall the staff was friendly.

Very yummy matcha! Menu was extension with plenty of flavors to choose from! I wish they had a location near me so I could try the other drinks

Pros: Standard service, clean interior, flavorful hojicha iced latte! Cons: old/stiff boba add on that was borderline unpalatable Visited on a weekday early afternoon to grab a drink while walking around with a friend. I ordered the hojicha latte with pearls and 70% sugar, which came out quickly. The drink itself was good and I enjoyed how Junbi offered hojicha varieties on top of the standard matcha. However the bubbles that I paid extra for were not edible, as they were hard in the center still. Not sure if it's just old and prepared in the morning or undercooked, but it was disappointing to not be able to enjoy something I added on.

I tried the Junbi Princeton location. The drinks are good. They have a different types of matcha green tea, tea, and smoothie based drinks. They also have a variety of toppings from red bean to boba. They also sell food from rice dishes to sandwiches. They also have the option to adjust the ice and sweetness level of your drink. This place is good for bubble tea if you visit Princeton.

Cool place, tasty drinks. Service was a little slow, but it was a Saturday so I understand. Right in the heart of the happenings in town.

Junbi is a special treat for me. I get wary of bubble tea places I'm not familiar with because not all places make good tapioca balls (bubbles) - sometimes they are too soft or too hard, and it ruins the experience. Phew - this is not the case here! The bubbles are soaked in this delicious syrup - I was really pleasantly surprised. This place has a great variety of matcha drink selections, which I'm not really into. BUT, they've got a lot of other great choices, one of which is my favorite - iced earl grey with coconut milk (extra $) and bubbles. Now I need one lol.

This is a cute place! Good matcha and the flavors in the drinks are always a hit. Just being nit picky, but one time the boba was undercooked. However I ordered strawberry milk and appreciated that it had real strawberries.

Really liked the soft serve with strawberry syrup. Wish the syrup wasn't so warm/hot though since the soft serve came largely melted. Can only guess that it's the syrup at fault. Quality matcha. Really liked it. I got the rose matcha milk tea with lychee topping, subbed in oat milk. Seems like they used real lychee so that was interesting. Good Rose flavor but I don't think it's for me. The combo of rose water and oat milk made it more watery than I would like. Just opt for milk or just be aware this drink is on the more watery side. Mixed in some soft serve and it was a lot better. Edit: revisited the menu and seems like the latte options are the way to go if you're looking for a more milk forward drink. Really nice interior and ample seating. Ordered from the tablet so no staff interaction. Wasn't a long wait for my order.

Junbi is such a good place to study or just chill inside with friends. The interior is so pretty and brightly lit. They have free wifi and decent amount of seating but can be filled up as they get busy sometimes. The cashiers are always so kind and if you go before 10am, drinks are half off!! I usually go for the Jasmine tea drinks, I think they're better than the matcha drinks they serve but I just may be bias :)

Great matcha from here! Would highly recommend the strawberry matcha and almond jelly. The new taro vanilla matcha drink is also quite good- a bit too heavy on the vanilla imo but great taro flavor. The boba quality isn't the most consistent (there have been a few times where it was on the harder side of chewy) but is great on a good day. Drinks tend to be on the sweeter side (even if you order less sugar level) so be aware of that. Service is fast and the guy at the counter today was super nice and helpful! Very fun, bright vibe to the inside space. During the school year, it's usually quite crowded, but if you can snag a table, it's a perfect place to hang out with friends.

Get: A Matcha Strawberry with oatmilk Everytime I'm in Princeton, I make sure to stop by and get a matcha beverage at Junbi. The interior is brightly decorated and there is a good amount of seating. It's a great place to get some studying done. Their drinks are subtly sweet in a great way and there are a ton of options. Their matcha is quality is very good. Every beverage I've had here has been great. I've tried the onigiri flight here and will say it is okay (not great). The other thing I've been meaning to try is their matcha soft serve. There is very little reception in here though so keep that in mind. Service is mostly great everytime I've come. And don't forget to mix your drink before you drink it. I'll be back for sure!

Super nice and rich matcha soft serve. Fast accurate service e when it's super busy, legit. Rose water matcha, clean and smooth. So healthy. Clean and bright place to hangout and study.

Love love loved the products! We had the matcha soft serve and finished it in a few minutes, gobble gobbled it right up. My body wanted more and my mind said more also. This is a must try. I also ordered the salmon rice ball. Turns out it's a spicy rice ball. It didn't say so in the menu though otherwise I wouldn't have ordered it. I would not be raving about their balls. For drinks we had the rose water matcha, hibiscus tea and the strawberry matcha. Both are good picks. The relaxed ambiance was countered by patrons constantly swatting away fruit flies. They're all over the wall and this gets annoying real quick. The staff is friendly and helpful, I asked for a cup of hot water and a cup of ice and they were very nice.

This was a super cute cafe in Princeton!loved all the different drinks options and the seating. The service was super quick and the drinks were delicious !!

The strawberry chrysanthemum tea was really good--definitely recommend on a hot day! The floral notes complemented the strawberry flavor, yet it wasn't too sweet. The boba itself wasn't anything special but had good texture. The interior is cutely decorated in summer colors, but it did smell a bit weird inside.

TLDR: By far the best tea spot in the area. Quality ingredients and great matcha. I got a matcha soft serve with coconut flakes. The smooth ice cream has the signature grassy matcha flavor followed by a refreshing sweetness. I've been coming here for the various matcha teas since they opened, and they've been great. The shop is ok for hanging out or light studying/ work, but the music is a bit loud.

TLDR- plenty of seating, refreshing matcha drinks, seating area could be a bit more cleaner I'm so glad that Junbi puts matcha first! Don't get me wrong, I love the classic green tea and black tea bobas but it's just so refreshing to see matcha featured in so many drinks. My drink: I got one of their classics: Cold Strawberry Matcha w/ Milk: less sugar, no ice, with boba. The drink is really aesthetic with its 3 layers, but you need to shake it up before you drink it! I love the balance of the strawberry with the matcha. The matcha flavor is pretty light but you get the distinct bitterness from the matcha after each sip. I love that the strawberry part tastes a bit like a classic strawberry jam and lightly sweetens the tea. The boba was perfectly QQ! Vibes: - plenty of seating for studying or grabbing some drinks with friends - good lighting and inside and plenty of sunshine coming in from the window in the front - AC is on a bit too high for me - music is on pretty loud - I came here a few months ago and the place was cleaner! Now there are a few stains on the seat cushions and the floors are a bit dirty around the seating area. Perhaps this place was a bit more busy today. Overall I really like this place! Their matcha soft serve is delicious as well! I'm looking forward to trying more flavors!

Went for Lunch Food - 5/5. Their onigiri is one of the best I've had! Many onigiris have an issue where it is incredibly bland except for the speck of flavor filling in the middle. At Junbi the rice is just the right amount of soft with plenty of seasoning to make every bite delicious. The salmon inside was tender and seasoned well. The matcha has similar vibes to the onigiri with its flavor encompassing the entire drink. The Madagascar vanilla added a subtle sweetness and great aroma that paired really well with the clean bitterness that high quality matcha is known to have, making for a really refreshing and energizing drink. Service - 4/5. Welcoming and quick. Value - 5/5. Their food and drinks were both a wonderful experience. I enjoyed that their menu has simple, common items but they elevated them into a new level. Despite that, the prices remain similar or even a bit lower than competitors with onigiris being in the $3 range and matcha being around $5. Great value! Parking - Street (Metered)

I want this to be great so bad :( I ordered the Strawberry Matcha Latte with less sugar, a very good combination. I tasted both matcha and strawberry, however, it was SO SWEET. I tried my best to finish it and ended up tossing half of it. It could be because there is already sugar in the strawberries? If you are not a fan of drinks being overly sweet, ordering with no sugar is the best fit. On the other hand, my husband ordered the Mango Matcha Fresca with less sugar, and it was less sugar, however, we couldn't taste the mango. It could be the way we drank it, we shook it before we drank. Anyway, we will still come back as there are so many options to try!

Ahh I'm so disappointed with the boba here - I came back a few times last year and the tea and boba were still good. But at my last visit, the boba was extremely overcooked and so mushy that I didn't want to finish my drink I thought it was just that one day, but after talking to my foodie friends, they mentioned how their tea was watered down and that their boba was too chewy. I'm so sad that my once favorite boba shop in Princeton has changed its quality but I'm hopeful that it will go back to being what it was before!!

I've followed the investors of Junbi for the longest time and when I heard that they finally opened a location on the East Coast, I was so excited to try. Unfortunately, I think my expectations were just too high because I didn't think my experience was that great. My boyfriend got the strawberry matcha with boba and the strawberry was so overpowering that we couldn't even taste the matcha tea. I got the madagascar vanilla matcha with boba; I think it was okay. Again, the flavor kind of took over the matcha tea. I wish there was more of a balance. Lastly, we tried their spam & egg rice ball. It was so small and it was probably 75% rice and 25% filling. Not worth the price at all.

I've been to Junbi a few times now, and their drinks are pretty good! The place is well spaced and has a screen to order from that's easy to use. The matcha intensity can be a bit hit or miss sometimes, but usually it's balanced well with matcha bitterness and flavorings. The matcha soft serve here is also really good.

The decor inside is very nice and they do decorations outside depending on what season it is/holiday that's coming up. The matcha iced lattes are the only thing i've ever gotten from here but it's the best matcha latte around in the jersey/philly area so i come here often for them! The strawberry matcha iced latte is amazing. The self-service kiosk makes it so that i can order quickly and get my drink quickly!

Our drinks came out quickly for a busy weekend afternoon. I always wanted to come here ") I had a strawberry matcha drink and it was really delicious!!

I've followed Junbi via Instagram from their original west coast location, and was excited to visit their latest franchise in Princeton. This tea shop specializes in a variety of premium matcha drinks, which are nothing like the green tea/matcha lattes you get at Starbucks or other tea or coffee shops. The matcha is strong yet smooth, and the different combos complement the tea so perfectly. I had the yuzu dragonfruit and loved the sweet citron flavors. I came way back during their opening weekend and there were a few small hiccups with my two orders. Regardless, I know they're working out some of the kinks - I'll be back to try their drinks again!

I've visited Junbi multiple times since it opened the Princeton location. Process/efficiency: 5/5 You can place your order multiple ways (in-store kiosks, mobile order, in-person), and all of them are very fast! Drinks: 5/5 Junbi has a variety of drinks for everyone. There are drinks that are non-matcha as well if you are not a matcha drinker. And for those that are lactose intolerant, Junbi offered milk substitute. My go to orders are the following: 1. Cold strawberry matcha with milk (for the day I am craving something milky) 2. Cold Yuzu dragonfruit matcha (for the day I want something lighter) 3. Matcha soft serve (reasonably priced. Can add toppings of your choice. Very good soft serve) Decor/interior: 5/5 Junbi is a good spot for studying/work! There are many seats and good lighting in store. The interior gives off a relaxing and welcoming feel! Note: there are 2 parking garages nearby & metered parking on the street. Definitely worth the visit :)

Junbi is a trendy bubble tea cafe located in the heart of Downtown Princeton that specializes in matcha based drinks. Upon entering, the decor is very zenlike and it seemed like it was a great hang out spot! For ordering, they have a self-service kiosk at the front or you can order at the stand where a staff member will take your order. I decided to order the strawberry jasmine tea...all the drinks came in a standard size and I was pleasantly surprised by how large my drink was! The staff also asked about sweetness and ice level and I went with the standard options. Though my drink was aesthetically pleasing (almost looks like a sunset!), it was waaaay too sugary for me where I only ended up finishing half of it. I'd probably go with the lowest/no sugar level next time. They also have limited options for food and coffee where I only saw rice balls and latte/espressos being served on the menu. Overall, cute place to check out!

I've spent most of my life by Princeton and even now it's hard to imagine that we would have a place like Junbi here! Princeton is quickly catching up with the trendy food places, which means saving myself a trip to Edison/New Brunwick area or North Jersey . The first thing that impressed me was the yellow/green/brown color story and the greenery decor inside the shop. Everything came together for a relaxed and fun vibe. There are a lot of options available, ranging from creamier matcha variations to fruity ones. There's even other items like matcha soft serve, rice balls, and egg tarts. I went on a Sunday at like 5:30 PM, and they had already ran out of the soft serve, so keep this in mind if you're going just for that! I got a Mentaiko rice ball (fish roe inside sushi rice) and a Matcha Mango Fresca. I think the prices were fair with the drink being a little over $5 and the rice ball being around $3.25. The drinks are only one size, and I would compare them to a size large at most bubble tea places. You can also customize the sugar level, ice, milk alternatives, toppings, and extra caffeine shots. I get mild headaches from the espresso shots in Starbucks, and this drink affected me similarly. It's expected because matcha is very strong lol. The drink that I got was very refreshing and not overwhelmed by sweetness or matcha. The rice ball is more of a snack size, and I honestly think it would take like 3 to fill me up. Don't be like me with placing the seaweed on the wrong part of the rice ball haha, but I still enjoyed it. Overall, I can see this spot spiking in popularity, so I recommend ordering ahead of the crowd. The tables aren't spaced out that much and none were reserved for social distancing, so it's probably better to eat outside especially if you're with a group. I can't wait to become a regular here and fulfill my matcha needs!!

Junbi is a great new addition to the bustle of princeton's college town. It tastes fresh - not from artificial syrups or powders. I like that you're able to adjust sweetness and add some pretty unique toppings like house made almond jelly! Very fond memories of walking around town during the summer with this hand.

Excellent tea shop - I tried the mango matcha and there's real fruit. You can adjust the sweetness and ice level on your own ordering through the tablet, so no excuse for messed up order. Surprisingly very roomy and a good place to pop a squat and get some work done or even bring a first date. Parking seems limited though especially with the construction going on as of 10/5/22. The parking structure around the corner is pretty cheap though.

Junbi just soft opened on Witherspoon in the previous storefront of Holsome Teas & Herbs. They're an LA-based franchise specializing in matcha, and they have a wide range of hot and cold matcha drinks, as well as other milk teas and some small food items like onigiri and chia pudding. A full menu with online ordering is on their website https://www.toasttab.com/junbi-princeton/v3 and they have the option for curbside pickup. I liked my straight up matcha drink ($4): the matcha is the best in the area, and the house-made almond jelly (+$0.50) was smooth and had a strong almond flavor. Sweetness and ice levels are fully customizable, and they also have several non-dairy milk options and a variety of toppings to choose from. Their drinks and store interior are also very Instagrammable, and they've already become super popular since opening. They also have matcha soft serve ($4.50+) and egg tarts ($2.75). I'm actually pretty surprised that Princeton is their first east coast location (and that there have been two new bubble tea places that opened in such a short timespan). Looking forward to revisiting and trying more of their drinks and desserts! edit: they added matcha creme puffs ($4 each)! The buns are from Asian Food Market I believe (like the egg tarts) but they make the matcha cream filling in-house.

First time coming to Junbi! Thanks to my boyfriend who introduced me to this amazingly and wonderful tea shop. The decor inside is bright and gives you a warm welcome when walking in. We walked in and there was a long line but it was pretty quick and next thing you know it was our turn so we didn't wait too long. I ordered an Strawberry Matcha Fresca and Yuzu Dragonfruit Matcha. The Strawberry Matcha Fresca is a good choice if you like sweet drink and very refreshing. Definitely a drink to pick on the menu. The Yuzu Dragonfruit Matcha is fantastic. Both drinks flavors are on point. I would definitely recommend this tea shop who enjoys quality tea and a refreshing drinks!!

I've been wanting to check out this place for a while and was really excited to finally be back in Princeton to stop by! I'm glad to say that it's met my expectations!! We ordered on their kiosks and everything was ready in just a few minutes. The overall ambiance was very minimalistic/modern. It was super well decorated and seems like a great study spot (esp with free wifi!) I ordered the yuzu dragonfruit matcha drink with regular sugar, no ice, and boba. It was super flavorful and delicious! I loved that the yuzu and dragonfruit cut down on the strong matcha taste and really blended the flavors together. I also ordered their rice balls flight (salmon, spam & egg, and mentaiko). They were absolutely delicious and I highly recommend! I can't wait to come back to try out more things on their menu.

I was excited to try this place because I had started following them when they were still called Sip Matcha. If you're familiar with with JKFilms, I believe some of the team is part of the ownership! Their specialty is Matcha, but they also have regular teas, coffee, soft serve, and onigiri. I tried the Rose Water Matcha and Onigiri flight. My first impression of the drink was honestly underwhelming. As a matcha lover, I was hoping for a drink that was more matcha-forward, but in my opinion, the rose flavor dominated. Nonetheless, it was still a pleasant and sweet drink if you're into floral flavors. It wasn't too sweet, but for my personal preference I would get it 75% or 50% sweet. My friend tried a Lychee Oolong Tea (includes milk) and she seemed to like the flavor. It looked like it came with bits of lychee at the bottom, and my friend noted that it had a strong floral flavor. The boba was not too soft, not too hard, but nothing extraordinary. As for the onigiri, the flight comes with 3 different flavors: mentaiko, salmon, and spam&egg. Unfortunately, they were out of the spam flavor so we subbed with mentaiko. It came in a paper box, all individually wrapped with the seaweed on the side for self-assembly. The salmon and mentaiko had a bit of spice, which added a nice kick. I enjoyed the flavors of both and felt it wasn't just plain. Of the two, I enjoyed the salmon more because of its seasoning. Hopefully next time I'll get to try the spam and egg! Overall, I enjoyed the selection and experience. I would come back to try the other drinks they offer if I'm in the area!
