| - Hatoya is awesome! They have everything, even my favorite kind of ready to cook pan fry yakisoba noodles - Marusan. I think it's the best and it's hard to find in Charlotte.
It's a small shop but they have everything you could need to make your own sushi at home. They have all kinds of tsukemono, tea, okake, miso, wakame, kombu, nori, candy like Pokki and gummies, pounded rice red bean pasties, Japanese bread, all kinds of pre-packaged treats and snacks... I could list a hundred things I haven't seen since the last time I was actually in Japan.
The store is impeccably clean and run by the nicest Japanese people you ever met. They were very patient with me when I was asking dumb questions like what kind of sauce to use when I try to make my own yaki-onigiri at home.
It's down by pineville but the fact that they're a little cheaper than other places around Charlotte means it's worth the drive.
