| - "Sugoi! Suki! Hontou!" (Wow! Love it! Really!)
Just a few of the cute little responses the cashier exclaimed as she rang my items up (I'd like to thank anime for my informal understanding of the Japanese language).
Tokyo Japanese is one of the most comprehensive Japanese groceries I've been to. Sure there are other Asian groceries where you'll find common items like soy sauce and pocky sticks, but when it comes to rare Japanese cooking staples, look no further. I loaded up on shiratamako, fukujinzuke, natto, okonomiyaki sauce, okonomiyaki flour, takoyaki flour, shimeji mushrooms, tenkasu, yakisoba noodles, and more. They also have sushi grade fish, produce, bento boxes, and baked goods -- all fresh. I couldn't not find anything if I tried.
The staff is very pleasant and friendly. Some items can be pricey, but they are the harder to find items that justify the cost.
Tokyo Japanese is as sugoi as it gets, so they get 4.5 stars rounded up.
