The first Japanese grocery store in San Antonio with other Japanese grocery stores coming into the scene. It is apparent that the store is getting old due to the old fashioned shelvings and cracked tiles. This place has a great variety of Japanese souvenirs, products, and ingredient for traditional Japanese meals. I've been able to get all the ingredients from here to make sushi and other Japanese dishes. There isn't a great variety on fresh produce and fish, but then again, where can you find fresh fish in San Antonio? Compared to other stores, the prices are rather cheap for Japanese food. The workers are kind, and will help you when asked. Especially the manager, a shy old Japanese native gentleman who will help you as much as he can with his soft spoken broken English. But recently his daughters(so it seems) have been working and managing the customers for him. The store doesn't give many or hardly any discounts. When buying in bulk, time should be noted. Best days to shop: Thursday and Friday afternoons (after they get their shipments in).
Pros: Great variety, Prices, and service.
Cons: Cluttered, small, and hard to find location (look for the restaurant instead).
