This is the corner shop many neighbourhoods would kill for. From the same owners as hit Japanese cafe Ima Asa Yoru, this is a treasure trove of artisan soy sauce, yuzu kosho, Melbourne-made curry pastes, potato chips and kimchi, vegetables (all in season of course) and just about anything else you might need, including toilet roll.

Toasties, croissants and onigiri (rice balls) are convenient for breakfast or lunch, or there’s a daily menu of okazu, side dishes to be eaten with rice. Customers are encouraged to bring their own bowls to reduce waste.
