Whether you're looking for unique snacks and drinks, trading cards, or anime characters and plushies, they have you covered. I was also impressed by their non-hobby items; they carry beautiful posters, tea, authentic tea sets, and various kitchenware that you won't find at your typical big-box store. It's the perfect place to find a unique gift or to stock up on your favorite imported treats. The staff is friendly and welcoming, which makes browsing the packed shelves a great experience. Just a heads-up: the parking lot is shared with Trader Joe's and several other shops, so it stays very busy and can be a bit of a scramble to find a spot. Despite the parking hustle, it's a fantastic local gem for any Japanophile!

A few days ago, my Son and I were hanging out in Beaverton, and he suggested that we pay a visit to the Uwijimaya Japanese grocery store, which has a small-ish Kinokuniya Bookstore situated within the back corner. After escaping the tractor beam of the grocery store's extensive Saki selection, we make our way over to the bookstore. We found the usual contained within: manga, magazines, Totoro, and of course notebooks, lots of pens, and various other unique office supplies. The stationary section is mostly contained in the last 3 rows of which I wandered repeatedly. My Son finally told me that time was up, and so I reluctantly checked out within the store with just a cool campus spiral notebook and a cheap olive-inked ballpoint. I could have gone for more, and I will during a future visit.

David was more interested in the manga books, and we were happy browsing in our own little corners. We both happily came away with a small collection of treasures and a promise to return.

The store itself is fun to walk through and browse -- even if you're not looking for something specific, you'll probably leave with something. Everything is well-organized, and it's just a really enjoyable space to spend time in. Great spot for gifts, collectors, or anyone who loves books and wants something a little different. Definitely recommend checking it out.

I will say the store layout was a bit interesting, with some areas that felt more cramped. It was fairly crowded when we went, so I did have to squeeze by people to make my way through the store. I spent some time browsing the clothing section and found several items that caught my eye. The clearance section was a bit disorganized and the sizes were not labeled clearly unfortunately. Customer service at Muji was friendly and adequate. The staff working in the fitting room area were especially helpful. It would've been great to have more fitting rooms available, as the line moved slowly and took up a good chunk of time. You are also limited to bringing in 5 items at a time but you can swap out items as needed. I ended up purchasing multiple tops and a few pants for everyday wear. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to browse the homewares section but was pretty satisfied with my clothing purchases and shopping experience. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
