Japan’s complete-meal bento is the focus of this fast-casual West Village bodega offering modern box fillers like Japanese fried-chicken sandwiches and crunchy Parmesan-pesto tofu. (Traditionalists can also find more customary options, including onigiri, chirashi sushi and fried-rice omelettes.) On the beverage front, the 18-seat spot—decorated with waving-cat images and calligraphy tags from Brooklyn artist Bisco Smith—serves Japanese canned ice coffee, smoothies and a matcha program from In Pursuit of Tea.
