| - Possibly the only dedicated Japanese market in all of Las Vegas. It is like many have noted, small! Located in the same strip mall as the Buffet@Asia (W.Sahara/Rainbow location).
The first thing I noticed is that the store is run by all Japanese (most likely Nisei or younger) Americans and they will all greet you politely in Japanese if you look remotely Japanese (I guess I can also pass as a Tokyo Boy).
They carry the usual dry/non-perishable goods (ramen, furikake, nori, potato starch, ponju sauce, Japanese hair care products), frozen items (fish, mochi ice creams), some fresh items (california rolls, noodles) and some unique items that you will not find in other Asian markets (tamago omelet pan!) Price is typically higher than other Asian markets I frequent in the area (168 and Greenland), but worth supporting if you want to have a local Japanese market where you can go to buy stuff that you can't get without driving to California.
3 Stars (A-OK!)
