A great place for anyone looking to buy special Japanese products! They sell household wares like pots and pans along with Japanese snacks that you don't find anywhere else in American marts. The only thing I noticed that could be improved was that there was no staff members around the area I was in (near the Zojirushi area) when I wanted to ask about the products, although this doesn't make me knock it down a star, as I still very much enjoyed my shopping experience for the unique products.

When I come here, I feel like I'm back in Japan. There are nostalgic foods, takoyaki of Osaka food, and I am excited about rice balls, tempura, and ramen. I will come here again.

Great place to get your Japanese ingredients and food. I love coming here to get their fresh sashimi and some occasional special imported items from Japan. There's also bowls and home goods stuff you can get too and an anime section near an entrance in the store. They've got a hot food buffet section and you fill up their togo box for ten bucks. Their buffet items have decreased through due to covid. There's also some refrigerated food you can heat up in the market to eat in their little dining section. Their gyudon is pretty good. Can request chopsticks, soy sauce, wasabi and ginger at the check out counter.

Great market, Always well-stocked and there’s always a nice selection. The store is maintained and kept clean and everything is pretty organized. You can always find something quick to take. I’ve tried so many things. Cashing out can be a bit unorganized but the cashiers are very nice and friendly.

Kathy Levario | Oct 30, 2021

I was there today at 5pm. It appeared closed, but tables & chairs were set up. Maybe they are getting ready to re-open the dining area. But their sushi 🍣 is still the best. Their fruit is always good there. Today, large naval oranges & Fuji apples are in. They have the best largest & sweetest Fuji apples. Try their $1 purin dessert; it's like a mini flan.

sara henery | Aug 27, 2019
Greg Placencia | Aug 27, 2019

Amazon has Sakura sake Kit Kats if you check. If you can't wait, Tokyo Central had a large selection of Kit Kats and other chocolates there last time I went two weeks ago. It would be best to call them and ask. Daiso is another good place to go. I think Mistuwa may also have it. Otherwise do a search for the flavors you want. Some online stores in Japan will skip them for you
