| - I was looking for an international market close by to see if I could find some Massaman Curry Paste and though I didn't find it there, I did discover a cool, mostly Japanese store. It's small but it's packed with so much cool Japanese stuff that you need a tour guide to peruse the whole store. The woman working in the store was very helpful whenever I asked her what something was but I'd have to have monopolized all her time if I could because there were so many unfamiliar things. I tried to get as many pictures as I could without looking totally weird for taking pictures of everything but I could just say, "I'm doing it for the YELP!"
They have some produce, housewares, fish for sashimi, lots of fun treats, teas, facial products, make up, toys, candy, fake food kits, teapots, cups and a lot of stuff I wasn't familiar with. I ended up buying some nori, sesame seeds, pickled ginger, wasabi, green onions, bok choy, soy sauce, ginger chews and face mask kits and tofu. I'll definitely go back when I have more time to explore. You'd be surprised at how much they have in this space, they have maximized every inch without it being junky.
It would be nice to have more signs in English, with a description of what some of the stuff is that doesn't have an English translation on the label. And I forgot to mention that they do sell Kimchi paste so if you've ever wanted to make kimchi without buying all the separate ingredients, you might want to give it a try. It's a bit pricey at $19.99 but might be worth it when you consider how much a small amount of Kimchi is. I make my own but if I didn't I would probably try it. Check out the pictures I was able to get. I'll take more next time.
That is all! (Don't forget to hit the useful, funny or cool button. Would love the feedback.)
