However, this place was pretty disappointing. Everything is frozen already. It looked like something I could buy at Costco or any of those big stores and it was extremely expensive for the quality that it looked like it's definitely super small not an actual market and it wasn't worth me going and thinking I could get stuff packed and bring back home. Unfortunately I ended up getting nothing and I rather get seafood from somewhere in New York instead.. I did take some pictures of some of the stuff. It was definitely a small place and many options.

Today I was searching for Taiwanese rice vinegar. When I was about to give up, I found it in the vinegar isle, not the Asian sauce isle, like I would have suspected! New Sagaya Midtown has a fantastic selection of all things one might need to make some killer Asian or Mexican dishes and I love coming here for that. The main downside is that they are expensive, typically in the L48 stores like Uwajimaya and Hmart are cheaper than Safeway/QFC but that is simply not the case here. The store is relatively clean and well lit, there is no funky odor which is greatly appreciated. The cashier is always quick, but that's the extent of the service I have received at the store. I will keep coming back when I need to find a special ingredient to keep exploring the culinary world.

There are just some days when I don't feel like making my own smoked salmon dip and those are the days I stop into this cute little place, that being said I really dig their smoked salmon dip. They also have an excellent selection of "tinned fish" if that's your thing (it's totally mine). All kinds of neat sauces and seasonings as well as a cold case where they carry a variety of their own cured meats. I also swing in here when I'm looking for a gift for someone that I don't know what to get, I'll find some cool candy or such. The staff is always super friendly and ready to assist (and give free tasty samples) from their cold case. Also a bonus for me, located in my favorite part of town Spenard!! *pro tip* Their salmon and sausage products are also sold across the state in grocery stores and even in Costco!!

I was ATV'ing and asked our guide I'm still looking for a place that has Live King Crabs. He told me where these guys were! I promised Judy I'd get one for her Birthday. We got one for the 3 of us that year. I had seen Live King Crab only once at New Sagaya but it was special and it's rare. Each year you never know with them. But every year, Aquatech gets it in all through the crabbing season and they ship it all over the world. It's my birthday tomorrow and that means a special dinner of course so I swung by today to see if they have Live King and they do! LIVE Golden King Crab is officially on my menu! These Golden King Crabs average 5-8 lbs each so 2 crabs will be nice for a family gathering of 7. Now the secrets out! Shhhhhhhh!

They did an excellent job of ensuring the packaging was airtight for maximum freshness. And amazingly the salmon had not bones. I have no idea how they did that. The salmon, as was all the other fish, absolutely beautiful. My only complaint is that none of it was labeled. The outside of the box indicated what might be in the box to give us some clues, but that was it. But since I was a gift, and a lovely one, I can't complain.

Locally grown obscure mushrooms? Check. I love this place and the fact it's less than 10 minutes from my house. I try to come here for all my veggie needs. It's a little more expensive, but you pay for quality. Food doesn't have to ripen on the way to Alaska, so you can actually taste the sweetness and fullness of every vegetable sold here.

Review of New Sagaya City Market - Anchorage, Alaska…read more Five weeks ago, I moved from San Francisco to Anchorage, settling near the downtown area. One of my first missions was to find a coffee spot that felt like home--a place with not just great coffee, but genuine people behind the counter. After trying a handful of cafes, a neighbor suggested New Sagaya City Market, just two blocks from my house. What a win. The market itself offers high-end, quality products. Yes, prices are a bit higher than what you'd find at Walmart or Target, but coming from San Francisco, I was prepared for that. What truly sets this place apart, though, isn't just the products--it's the people. From the very beginning, the baristas here have shown me the most consistent and heartfelt customer service I've experienced since moving to Anchorage. They don't just serve coffee; they connect with you, listen to your stories, and make you feel like part of the community. Today was a perfect example. I slipped in the parking lot (rookie mistake--no spikes on my shoes for the icy ground). After two kind gentlemen helped me up, I walked inside with my spilled coffee. Annie, a new barista I hadn't met before, immediately offered me a fresh cup with such kindness and care. That small gesture meant so much--it wasn't just about the coffee, it was about feeling seen and supported. I also want to shout out Monica and Shea, who I met when I first arrived five weeks ago. They've been consistently amazing--funny, charming, and genuinely interested in conversations about life, community, and even my adventures back in San Francisco. Every time I come in, I leave feeling lighter, happier, and more connected. Thank you, Annie, Monica, and Shea, for making New Sagaya City Market my go-to coffee spot. You've given me more than great coffee--you've given me a sense of belonging in a new city. --- Would you like me to make this version short and punchy for Google/Yelp reviews, or keep it longer and more storytelling-focused for something like a blog or social post?
