AI Summary

Cat-themed Brunswick cafe famed for handmade onigiri and expertly balanced matcha lattes.

Cosy, cat-themed Japanese cafe with a Studio Ghibli-esque charm, limited indoor and outdoor seating in a quiet Brunswick laneway.

QR-code table ordering, blankets offered for chilly outdoor seating, a resident cafe cat the shop is named after, handmade omusubi made fresh to order.

Run by Japanese owners and repeatedly praised by reviewers, including a Japanese-speaking visitor, as genuinely authentic Japanese cafe fare.

Mostly seen as reasonably priced and good value for generous onigiri fillings, though a handful of reviewers call the omusubi pricey or portions small for the cost.
