This is me and my mom's number one place to buy food and utensils when it comes to making Japanese…read morestyled food. The grocery is good for what to expect for any Asian market but the main attraction is the food court. It may not seem like much but all of them are really good and would fill up your hunger instantly. My favorites from the top of my head are the Katsu Don if I remember correctly and the Udon section where you pick your tempura (don't know the exact name). Overall good place to eat lunch or even dinner. Another problem would be finding a seat since there's hardly any tables and your plate is pretty big and bowls are heavy so you have to be somewhat quick to find a seat. The ambiance is fine but that's kind of to be expect in any supermarket, which is usually crowds talking and all. I really don't have much to say. Ever since this place closed down the anime shop, the DVD store, and bookstore, this place pretty much lost what made Mitsuwa special and worth visiting. Especially for someone who's into both anime and tokusatsu like Super Sentai (Japanese Power Rangers). Those places are what got me my first Gundam model kit (Freedom Gundam from Gundam Seed) and my go to place for Japanese DVDs as mentioned (Gokaiger, Kyoryuger, and Nanoha). I understand why they close down these stores, especially with streaming services and online shopping are a thing, even though I don't fully agree as they are customers like me that would prefer in-store physical copies. That is why I deduct one star. These are replaces with a gachapon store, a Matcha store, a Boba store I believe and Daiso. The matcha and boba place (forgot the names sorry) are surprisingly good. I really like the matcha ice cream in a bowl and I believe the Doncha. The gachapon I cannot say as I never spend money there and I'm not into these gacha machines and I rarely buy anything in Daiso as its just your typical convenience store that sells some Japanese stuff so I won't say much. In conclusion, it's a very nice spot to eat Japanese meals and especially something to fill you up for the day while also shopping to buy Japanese food to cook at home. Just be aware this is pretty pricey, especially the Royce matcha chocolates and the food court.

It is not super delicious as the grey creammy spicy fast-food. But these food can keep your stomach full for awhile of time! They are solid and organic! You can find a lot of ancient diet process( it is a chemical reactions but it is naturally processed).Most of ancient diet habits remind us the desire of fermentated food! We naturally will pursue those product to make myself feeling better however, the modern processed food eliminated the food maturing process thus I found this place! If you think it is too complicate to pick all the stuff at the same time and don't know how to apply all the natural stuff in your daily diet. You may try the food in the spot! You can also enjoy all the sell product as a meal in the store. It is like a dad and mom pop up sandwich store that you can take out some food in a single ride.

I've been meaning to drop by this spot for years, and I've FINALLY made my way over. I was really…read moreexcited by the concept. The market is modern and well organized. The staff was kind and helpful and there appeared to be a lot of locals enjoying their meals out in their outdoor seating area. While the market had a bunch of fun fermented offerings, the food that I ordered from their cafe was not exactly what I expected. I ordered the chili and spicy kraut grilled cheese combo. The portions were on the smaller side but given it was lunch I didn't really mind. I was more let down by the lack of flavor in their grilled cheese, the spicy kraut was neither spicy and just didn't really add much aside from texture. The chili on the other hand was delicious so that partially redeemed the meal for me. My boyfriend got their bone broth which was very very light and needed additional seasoning though. While I love what they're trying to build here, I'm not sure if I'd go back.

I have been back to this location and they did good on their word to make sure their perishable…read moreproducts arent past the best by or expiration date from the products I checked. This chain differs from their competitor Mitsuwa in that they are more focused on being a grocery store. As such their grocery staples and their bentos are more varied than Mitsuwa. This probably makes up for their lack of food court. They also carry unique seasonal goods that Mitsuwa doesnt and vice versa. Mitsuwa has food courts and temporary traveling specialist vendors which are always exciting. Mitsuwa probably has a wider selection of more specialized goods tho. That said both chains are a great service to our area and will satisfy any Japanese food enthusiast like myself.

The tonkotsu ramen is very delicious. It comes with thick noodles, 2 pieces of chashu pork, half a marinated egg, bamboo shoots, and green onions.

If you come earlier in the day you can grab some of their fresh onigiri. Usually sold out halfway through the day. The staff is always friendly and the environment is clean and relaxing. The lights aren't too bright which is nice for a grocery store.

I was in awe with an employee who came out and spoke to the people reassuring them not to worry because there's a lot of bags enough for everybody. I'm not sure if he's the manager. Upon entering the store, staff was greeting us and thanking us for being patient in waiting. The customers were asked to pick 2 bags for each color , which I thought was more systematic so people are in and out of the store quickly ,instead of the staff handing the bags to the customers which will take longer. For some reason, I always felt welcomed at this store. The place is clean and they have all the things I wanted.
