This charming Japanese confectionery in Bushwick serves up a delightful mix of sweet and savory eats, including fresh pastries, sushi, and irresistible soft serve.
"In reporting on an onigirazu spot in the East Village, a colleague alerted me that a new Japanese bakery in Bushwick also sold the Japanese rice sandwiches. Takahachi Bakery opened in Bushwick this spring (there’s a sibling location in Fidi) — a sprawling new spot where corn, edamame, and red bean-stuffed pastries are made fresh. They also have several types of onigirazu (a cousin to onigiri resembling a sandwich). I went for the fried shrimp and curry cabbage version ($6.50), premade, and placed in its refrigerator for takeout." - Eater Staff
"No two versions of onigirazu are interpreted the same. 969 Coffee has differentiated itself with its cheese, while others like Takahachi, the bakery in Bushwick that opened in May 2023 (they run another bakery in Manhattan as well as a sit-down restaurant), serve several types of onigirazu like fried shrimp with curry cabbage or tuna salad with onion (theirs are sold in a to-go refrigerator)." - Emma Orlow
