My go to Japanese market. I love coming here to restock or just come and eat. They got the Sandos, ramen and curry. They also have Royce chocolates here and the One Piece Bandai store. Last time I was here they have fresh made dessert waffles. It’s just so good.

Stopped to shop at Mitsuwa Marketplace to buy frozen onagi (Japanese freshwater eel) to make roll eggs today. I haven’t been here for a few years and everything is still the same and the place is clean and organized. I used to get their salmon bento box at the food court for lunch. I didn’t get that today as the size of the grilled salmon is now smaller than before. I bought many freshly made side dishes (pickled radish, gyoza, etc.) and the prices were reasonable. Mitsuwa has Asian groceries, wine, beers, cosmetic products, collectible toys, freshly made crepes and mochi, souvenir shop, snacks and other grocery items. There are two Japanese restaurants inside, Musashiya Japanese and Hokkaido Ramen Santouka. Food court has hot, cold prepared foods and fresh sushi. Parking can be a little challenging and the spaces are narrow and limited. Overall, you can get Japanese groceries, food and various specialty Japanese products all in one place.

This market has a great selection of food, especially warm to-go options like onigiri, teriyaki bowls, and sushi. They also have a nice produce section, plenty of cold drinks, and a fun variety of Japanese candy. The store itself is clean, well-organized, and easy to browse. We tried the spicy tuna onigiri, it was just okay, nothing special. One small downside: they charge 15¢ for a bag instead of the standard 10¢ most places charge. Parking was also pretty hectic and hard to find. Overall, a solid spot for Japanese snacks and quick meals, just be prepared for the parking situation.

Good Japanese supermarket with a good variety of bento and sushi as well as a crepe place. A bit expensive but best variety, bento boxes are very generic and not very authentic Japanese, cater to western palate and overpriced.
