Koro Koro Rice Ball Cafe, the onigiri cafe coming to downtown Jersey City on Jersey Avenue, was officially funded by Kickstarter over the weekend and raised over $12,000!
They also announced that they have completed construction, passed all their building inspections, and just have a few more Health Department and other bureaucratic matters to handle before they are ready to open! Of course, considering this is Jersey City and the process constantly seems to get dragged out, they haven't announced an official opening date and there may still be a bit of a wait, but it definitely seems to be progressing quickly.
Koro Koro will serve a variety of onigiri warm and made to order, all gluten free and with several vegetarian/vegan options along with sides, ModCup Coffee, and Milk Sugar Love ice cream.
Here's their projected menu:
MISO BEEF
Lean Ground Beef, Miso, Shallots, Leeks, Scallions, Ginger, and Sake
