Japanese cafe offering onigiri, curry, ramen, and matcha
"The Japanese grocery store Maruichi is a gold mine to stock up on hard-to-find regional miso, specialty tsukemono (pickled vegetables), tofu shokupan, and a variety of Japanese snacks you don’t see elsewhere. But right across the street, Maruichi Select has your lunch plan covered. Head over for an affordable and beautiful bento box and munch on a neatly wrapped savory onigiri in the former Gen Sou En tea house space." - Valerie Li Stack
"A Japanese grocery and deli from a Connecticut-based operator selling Japanese pantry staples (enoki mushrooms, Kewpie mayo) alongside prepared foods like ramen, sushi, bento boxes, yakisoba, and bubble tea, replacing a former local Japanese cafe space." - Terrence Doyle
"It has closed, about a year and a half after its initial opening. In that time, the Japanese restaurant and cafe underwent a bit of a revamp, emerging serving items like katsu sandwiches, udon, and pork gyoza, in addition to cafe fare and pastries." - Dana Hatic
"Soothing curved lines and muted tones are the highlight here, not to mention the skylit tree." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"This Japanese tea house, restaurant, and sake bar features a seven-foot tree growing towards a skylight, Japanese tatami mats, striking paper light fixtures, and many curves. It is the first restaurant for its parent company, Harada Tea & Foods, Inc." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
