My Zakaya is a little spot that serves some seriously good Japanese food. Chef Nobu Maruyama cooks with a deep love for flavour and that resonates through all the dishes he creates. He was kind enough to let us into his kitchen and take us through the homemade Tartar sauce that tops Namban Snapper. You can also find our chat with Nobu where we chat all things food at the end of the recipe too!
We feel very lucky that Recess is just around the corner from Provider Studio in Surry Hills.

Onigiri also known as a Japanese rice ball, is a popular portable Japanese snack that dates back over 2,000 years.

They are one of our favourite treats to grab-and-go when we are travelling to markets or before we hope on the Shinkansen. We rounded up three of our favourite fillings that you can replicate at home.
