About Maji Pantry

Collingwood’s Maji Pantry elevates casual konbini cravings with hefty, made-to-order onigiri and loaded milk-bread sandos. Regulars drop in for triangles of warm rice packed with kimchi pork or tuna mayo, wrapped in toasted, crispy nori. The kitchen builds thick katsu cutlets with shredded cabbage on pillowy bread alongside crunchy cheese tofu nuggets. At the counter, drinks lean creative—think banana bread hojicha lattes and layered strawberry matcha.

  • Meal-Sized Onigiri: Made fresh to order with warm rice, crisp nori, and generous fillings like kimchi pork, wagyu beef, or tuna mayo.
  • Specialty Lattes: Creative specialty drink builds pair matcha and hojicha with notes of banana bread or strawberry.
  • Stacked Sandos: Thick, crispy pork tonkatsu and ebi katsu served on pillowy milk bread with shredded cabbage.

Why Visit Maji Pantry

From substantial made-to-order onigiri and loaded sandos to signature roasted tea lattes, here is why locals make this Collingwood pantry their daily ritual.

  • Oversized, Made-to-Order Onigiri

    Rice balls are prepared to order with generous ratios of savory fillings and crisp toasted nori, substantial enough to serve as a complete standalone meal.

    They are made to order, and are hefty - you could probably get away with one for a light lunch! The rice and fillings are the perfect temperature and the nori nicely toasted and crispy.

  • Generously Loaded Japanese Sandos

    From tender pork cutlet to delicate egg salad on fluffy milk bread, sandwiches are assembled fresh with generous portions and crisp textures.

    The cutlet was perfectly fried—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside—and the sauce and shredded cabbage provided a wonderful texture contrast.

  • Inventive Japanese Specialty Drinks

    House concoctions like the banana bread hojicha latte, strawberry matcha, and kinako latte offer creative, balanced flavor pairings without being overly sweet.

    Despite the name, the drink isn't overly sweet, just nicely balanced, and the flavours work together surprisingly well.

  • Artisanal Matcha & Roasted Teas

    Traditional ceremonial preparations are crafted with high-grade tea, delivering smooth balance and rich aroma across matcha and hojicha offerings.

    The matcha here is rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. You can taste the quality in every sip, and it’s clear they source premium ingredients.

  • Convenient Collingwood Neighborhood Stop

    Whether grabbing smooth daily coffee post-haircut or popping in for a fast onigiri between appointments, the spot serves busy schedules reliably.

    They consistently hit the nail on the head and it still shocks me every time how unreal it is.

    The savory cube-shaped items, which I believe are the Tofu Nuggets (or possibly a savory French toast style item), were also a fantastic and unique treat!

Before you head over

Practical pointers on portions, seating, and specialty orders

  • Pace Your Onigiri Order

    The made-to-order onigiri are substantial and densely filled with warm rice and crisp nori; ordering one or two is often plenty for a satisfying meal.

  • Keep Seating Size in Mind

    The dining area is intimate and compact, so plan your visit outside peak rush hours or grab items takeaway if seating is tight.

  • Look Out for Rotating Specials

    Rotating drinks and seasonal dishes like specialty lattes and ochazuke change regularly, so check social updates or current boards when visiting.
