Junmai Station,

325 S Florida Ave Suite C, Tampa, FL 33602, United States

"I used to live in Japan, and as far as their offerings, it feels like a little bento shop, with onigiri and dishes you can grab-and-go. Authentically Japanese, but I gave it 4 stars because the prices are a tad high. I still get their food sometimes as a treat when I am downtown sometimes."

"There’s nowhere to sit and if there’s seating inside the place has an almost sewer smell. The past two times I’ve been I’ve been sick the next few days. My boyfriend and I both have gotten undercooked chicken from here. The miso soup is disgusting and cooked once and then reheated until it’s gone. It tastes so so salty you can’t even eat it. I do not recommend coming here"

"Got a ton of food while I was visiting Tampa. I was hoping to get more onigiris but we were one of the last customers so we got the last spam one. The rice bowls were yummy, we got gydon and chicken teriyaki. Both tasted good. The sizes aren’t big, just enough to fill you up. The lady was so sweet, she threw in two miso soups for us. The spam musubi was okay, the spam was sliced pretty thing and it made me wish I had another piece. But over all it was very nice and authentic. There was nowhere to eat inside so we took our food back to the hotel."

"Junmai Station is a new Japanese takeaway spot in downtown Tampa at the bottom of the new Hyatt Place/Hyatt House. It is by the same duo that runs Ebisu Sushi Shack, so I expected good things. I wasn't disappointed! This eatery specializes in onigiri, which are scrumptious rice balls that are often in triangular shape and have various fillings. For my first visit, I got the shake (salted salmon $3.95) , shiso ume (shiso leaf & plum $3.50), tsukune (chicken meatball $4.25), and the rainbow (which is a whole plethora of ingredients $5.25). The shake and shiso ume were absolutely perfect! They were warm, delicious explosions of flavor in my mouth that were somehow so comforting. The shiso ume in particular, while the flavors were unfamiliar, was a real treat. Definitely try this one out if they have it! A selection of donburi (rice bowls) are also available, so I will try one of those next time. They only have a few seats at the window, so it's primarily a grab-and-go kind of place. I think this is a great addition to the downtown area!"
