Cocoron Kenmare - New York

We got a Kiwi Cream Sando and Strawberry Cream Sando and they were *chef's kiss* Apparently the cream is made over 10 hours so it makes sense why it was so fluffy and rich. The cream for the Kiwi Sando was tart while the Strawberry Sando was on the sweeter side. It was so nostalgic tasting a cream sando like the one's I used to get in Japan. I'm excited to try everything else on their menu. I also bought my second ceramic bowl there amongst their beautiful collection.

Cocoron Market is a cozy Japanese takeout and delivery restaurant that also offers a variety of grocery items like spices and teapots. The space is small with no seating but well-organized, giving it a charming neighborhood feel. Despite only being open for a few weeks, Cocoron Market has quickly become a popular spot in the Lower East Side. The menu features savory bento boxes and side dishes. During my visit, I tried the Karaage Bento which included ample Japanese rice, vegetable sides like Cucumber Sunomono, and flavorful marinated fried chicken pieces known as Karaage with flavored mayo. The rice was perfectly cooked with a sticky texture and touch of sweetness, while the Karaage was juicy and savory. This satisfying meal combines crispy fried protein with filling carbs. The staff at Cocoron Market is friendly, kind, and enthusiastic, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. I can't wait to try more items from their menu. The Karaage Bento box costs $11 including tax and tip. In conclusion, Cocoron Market's fried chicken is a must-try.

There are many vegan options available at this restaurant! I absolutely love this place and would highly recommend it to anyone!

Two words: Mera Mera. I put my mother on to this place after seeing it recommended by Top Chef Kristen Kish, and I can firmly say, best decision ever. This was hands down the best soup I've ever had and I don't care if it's not Winter, I'm going back any and every chance I get.

Cocoron Market is a shop that sells many things. They have gourmet take out foods (fruit (kiwi, strawberry or orange) or egg salad sandwiches, bento box, onigiri), japanese snacks drinks, some home goods (japanese cups/plates, chop sticks, etc), groceries (frozen dumplings, sauces, etc). They also have kakigori (strawberry or matcha). I tried the beef onigiri, kiwi sando strawberry kakigori they were all very delicious! Highly recommended! Staff was also very nice and friendly.
