Yummy, well-priced selection of ready made Japanese food. Pick from the wide variety of small dishes for a snack or picnic lunch in the Japan Center plaza.
Onigiri rice balls and squid karaage great! Come close to 10am, and some of the crispy items may still be warm from the fryer. Fried Oysters, umai !
Great store to just walk around and look at everything, definitely try out their fresh sushi! Don't forget to ask for condiments when you go to pay.
You may notice a hair in the sushi - it came from my cat >.>
Great place to shop for Japanese stuff. Wide selection of Japanese groceries and the line was quick. The place was crowded too so it must be good.
Really fun place. Cool, unique stores. Everything is a little more than expensive than expected, and it was really crowded and hot, ugh. But I think it was just a hot day in SF. the dollar store has a lot of fun stuff for kids. The vintage shop is quite literally a closet, but has neat clothing. The game store is really cool and there's a bonsai store that is exceptional. The trees were outstanding and even if you're not buying, you should see them if you're into plants, at all.
Very robust daikon selection. Abundance of daikons. Daikon is hefty and suitable for self defense against people with pomeranians.
Good selection of traditional Japanese and far eastern foods and snacks.
I found it odd that they did not have any dairy milk on the shelves; there was only soy. Hoping they can get that added to their selection soon.
Our favorite Japanese market. Has the japanese snacks that cannot be found at other Asian markets. Fully stocked with ready to eat bento options and fresh mochi. Even has vegan/eggless kewpie mayo.
This a great Japanese market in SF's Japantown. They carry foods you're not likely to find in a big chain grocery store. It's clean and conveniently located to public transit and other businesses. The aisles may be narrower than big chain grocery stores. They have to be. Rent is too expensive in SF. They carry a good selection of food items. Produce was more limited, mainly to Asian vegetables. Some are organic.
Very clean and well kept store. Staff are very friendly and helpful should you need it. They have hot foods and Sushi options at the front on the store. They have many unique Japanese items that can only be found here on the city. Their Meats, Seafood and Produce are very fresh. They also have a great selection of frozen options as well. I highly recommend that if you need any Japanese unique grocery item to stop by, most likely you will find it here. They have street as well as Garage parking available.
There is 20% off meat day every month on the 29th. When that day lands on a weekend, the store is at maximum capacity. The aisles ate particularly cramped too because the vast amount of items they have. They also have occasional food taste testings on the weekend. My favorite items from this market are the ready made sushi, sashimi, shabu meat, and Japanese snacks.
