Message: Cute, small shop with a nice (and unique) selection of snacks and frozen items, and great prices! The lady working is so sweet and I seriously recommend the hand made sushi hand rolls on Saturdays. I can't say enough good about this shop.

Message: Loved this little hidden gem! I went for the first time today and the owner was there and she was incredibly sweet. She showed me how to boil rice cakes and talked to me for a couple of minutes. Highly recommend!

Message: Absolutely lovely shop to visit. Today was my first visit there ever and I had so much fun. I adore Japanese culture and this shop is the closest to Japanese goods as I will get for now. The shop owner's daughter and son were very nice. The owner herself was very sweet as well. Reasonably priced goods. I just got a whole bunch of sweets especially those popularized by anime such as melon pan. I bought too many sweets and a ramune, but it was worth it! Who knows when I'll get the chance to visit anytime soon as I don't live close enough to this store. I had a lot of fun and got too caught up to take pictures. I hope to visit again soon!

Message: Small Asian grocery store that has a lot to offer. I've been going there on and off for the last 30 years since they were on Dale Mabry and catered to Otakus with their video rentals. Super nice, family owned business that has plenty of goods to try. Plenty of different drinks, snacks, ramen, and sauces to choose from. If you shop with your eyes, prepare to spend more than you wanted to.

Message: Glad friend recommended this store. They have everything I needed(I’m native Japanese) and the owner is really nice and helpful. Be back. By the way, I live in Bradenton, it’s an hour drive for one way but it’s worth it.

Message: This is such a cute little Japanese market. I haven't been to one in the Tampa area so it was much needed to check it out. It is definitely smaller than your average oriental market but it definitely is stocked with many goodies. They have Japanese snacks that aren't available at the bigger oriental markets. There are good dinnerware selection as well. Their snacks and drinks are great as well as the staff/owner. She was very sweet and talked to us. I would encourage others to come here if they're looking for unique snacks!
