It's the only place to get all of your Japanese items. It's my little slice of Japan. After living in Japan for 3 years there was a huge gap in my life when I left and could not get the little things I needed. Things like really good Japanese soy sauce in more than an 8 oz bottle at $8 each.Fast forward 20 years and I moved to Charlotte and found Hatoya. It's just perfect and a place that will make you soon realize your Japaneses sucks as well. This is the real deal!
