| - Just stopped in today bc I was getting a facial next door. This is a very authentic Japanese market that sells all of the products that I have seen in Japan. I feel like the reason why you would stop into THIS Asian store instead of the other markets nearby are for the freshly made sushi and bento plates and the special Japanese fish cakes, pickled items, and various other soup/food additions you add to Japanese dishes. These Japanese items are harder to find in the other Asian markets. If you don't know what I am talking about, go into the fridge areas in the back near the bento boxes. Also, they sell Japanese home dishes, beauty and groom products, clothing, DVDs, origami paper, cards and other Japanese things you won't find at other Asian stores.
Unfortunately, when I got there, all the bento and sushi items were gone as they sell out quickly. The worker said you can call ahead to order so they will reserve one for you.
As far as the regular grocery items like soups, bases, instant noodles, and snacks, I feel like I have seen these items at the bigger Asian markets for a little cheaper price. I would love to come back here though and purchase these items here to support the store though.
There were surprisingly a lot of people in the market of all different backgrounds. If you like Japanese things, you should definitely check this place out!
