Omusubi Bar Suzume

What is Omusubi Bar Suzume? Tucked inside the Market 707 shipping-container strip along 707 Dundas Street West outside Scadding Court Community Centre, Omusubi Bar Suzume is a charming kiosk dedicated to Japanese comfort cooking. Specializing in omusubi (hand-formed Japanese rice balls, also known as onigiri), the stall prepares each order fresh by hand using premium Japanese short-grain rice and roasted nori seaweed. It serves local market wanderers, park visitors, and Japanese comfort food fans looking for healthy, portable handheld meals.

Omusubi Bar Suzume Menu & What to Order The menu features traditional and contemporary rice ball fillings made with care. The Shio-Koji Salmon Omusubi is a standout, packing savory koji-cured salmon flakes inside warm, seasoned rice enveloped in crisp seaweed. Meat lovers consistently order the Spicy Pork Miso, while vegetarians celebrate the Garlic Butter Shiitake Mushroom and traditional tart Ume Shiso (salted plum with red perilla herb). Complete your meal with a hot cup of house-simmered seasonal dashi miso soup and a cup of aromatic roasted hojicha tea.

Know Before You Go Omusubi Bar Suzume operates Monday through Saturday, closing on Sundays. Ordering is walk-up counter style with outdoor picnic tables available along the public sidewalk plaza. Rice balls are made fresh to order and maintain their crisp seaweed texture best when consumed immediately. The 505 Dundas streetcar stops right outside the market plaza at Dundas and Bathurst.
