This is my favorite branch of Sunrise Mart. Everything in the supermarket area is always fresh and well-stocked. The focus is on actual groceries rather than packaged snacks and takeaway food, although they have some of that as well. You should come for meat, fish, veggies, and Japanese ingredients. They have a whiteboard announcing the newest arrivals of fish they're getting from Japan so you know what's in season and newly arrived at all times. I have purchased and consumed sashimi-grade fish from here many times with no incidents. They also offer a wide variety of produce specific to Japanese food. Produce items like myoga and shiso which are very difficult to keep from spoiling are packaged carefully and remain fresh. Also, they make their own soy products, and those can be found along the fish and meat wall in the far back of the store. The homemade natto is WAY better than the frozen styrofoam packs you usually get! You can use mentsuyu (also available here) as the seasoning if you want to imitate the seasoning that is usually included in the styrofoam packs. There are some home and personal care items, although not as much as the one in Midtown does, as well as packaged snacks. I like that they don't use a lot of shelf space for low-quality packaged "asian" snacks and keep it 90% real Japanese groceries. Edit: I left a five-star review too soon. Today I went back and was looking for real mirin, as in the real alcoholic fermented product you have to show ID to buy, and some sake, again the real sake that you have to show ID to buy. I asked a girl there if they had real mirin and she showed me the mirin-type products that are just corn syrup and ethyl alcohol blended together. I said I wasn't looking for that, I was looking for the alcohol products. She looked at the ingredients, found the ethyl alcohol in the ingredients list, and said, "Actually, all of these have alcohol in them," and then signaled she was done helping me. I still didn't find any real sake or mirin so now I have to go somewhere else, which is an inconvenience. I also overheard someone looking for gochujang and the staff erroneously told him that gochujang is the powdered red pepper on the shelf. Gochujang is a paste. The selection is otherwise great but it would be nice if the staff were informed enough about the products to be able to help customers.
