About

Tama combines a small Japanese grocery with a counter-service kitchen serving changing vegan bento boxes, onigiri, wraps and sandwiches; reviews also mention homemade miso soup and a coco-ginger latte. The shop stocks fresh local produce, natto and Japanese pantry items, while seating is very limited, with two window bar seats; some reviewers note that the market sells animal products even though the kitchen’s food is vegan.
