Mitsuwa Marketplace - San Gabriel

Great supermarket for all your Japanese food product needs in the San Gabriel Valley. Bentō take out, Sakè (sah keh), Shōchū, beer, packaged snacks, meats, veggies, fruits, etc. They even have a small section for basic Japanese beauty & skin care.

Very helpful staff , wide selection of different items that you can choose from for lunch / to go in their refrigerator section, the salmon sashimi is nicely packed & reasonably priced... highly recommend 👌

They sell fresh Obanyaki know with 3 flavors: Green tea, custard and red bean, but Custard is still the best one for me.

Very, very good selection of japanese grocery. They have a lot of items that you do not see in regular groceries and some that are just better. Very high quality of fish and meat. They also have bento boxes and nigiris. Prices are a bit on a higher side but the quality is amazing.

The best Japanese grocery store in the area! Everything from produces to snacks, what they have are fresh and high-quality😺

Here’s my favorites:
- In the veggie section, I appreciate Nasu, Shiso, and Gobo which are hard to get
- Variety of Natto is fantastic!
- Whole bunch of soy sauce and seasonings
- Jagabee is like chips, but it looks like French fries. Popular in Japan👍🏼
- Frozen Yoshinoya beef bowl has an inventive packaging which vents steam while heating in microwave. Genius🤯

One note. Their Hamadaya bread is really good🍞, but usually runs out by the evening. Get there early if you want it.

The best Asian Market ever, you can find whatever you need. The parking lot isn’t that big but you will definitely have somewhere to park as a turnover is fast!

While smaller than many mitsuwa stores I've been to let me tell you this story is jam-packed with everything you could possibly need just be aware you might want to get there early for the vegetables or the fresh made items like the hamada ya bakery or the onigiri rice balls they sell fast older store but we'll maintained and over all a great stock of japanese favorites parking is a bit challenging as there is honestly not a lot of room to park but as people come and go quickly from the store I had no issues finding a spot although just a few were there might be tough for larger vehicles also and while it's been over a year since I have been to the larger Japanese grocery chains and smaller ones the prices do seem a bit higher here but that could also just be due to the coronavirus pandemic issue I would happily return to the store and shop again the staff and cashier and Patreons we're all polite and helpful

Great place to pick up Japanese food and products without having to go to Little Tokyo downtown.
I feel safer here than at most stores because they do restrict number of people and I see people wear their masks properly in here. And as always, the store is kept clean and you see the employees cleaning.

Always here for nice, affordable and fresh convenience food for breakfast and sometimes lunch too.

The staff here is friendly and helpful.

Some of merchandise is kinda expensive but you can’t find this elsewhere so it’s worth the price.

I love this place almost as much as a hate Covid. I think it’s smaller than some of the other J- supermarkets but I’m not willing to go downtown at the moment, and I certainly am not going to have my elderly parents run around town searching for mochi. I took a gamble and thought it would be less crowded here than other places.

I really appreciate how they are keeping the staff and patrons safe by limiting capacity to 15 people inside. That being said, bring a book, layer up, and bring an umbrella because it can get sunny/cold/ boring. I think I waited maybe 35-40 min to get inside, around 11:30am? I felt kind of bad for some of the senior patrons waiting for so long, but I believe they do have senior hours on Saturday.

I went to go pick up stuff for ozoni soup for Japanese New Years, and was surprisingly pleased to find fresh mochi still available. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t frozen and then thawed, so I grabbed a few packs and some kamoboko from the freezer and called it a day. I heard the J-stores in West LA were sold out since the weekend, so was happy to find the items I was looking for.

Thank you!

Nice store. Great Japanese food needs. Mor bento lunches should be made though.

Clean and organized. Quality meat and sushi. I'm a fan of Mituwa market.

Love their bento refrigerator aisle. I always grab my lunch here.

Great place for Asian groceries. Found some great beer and tacoyaki for dinner. Plus some great onigirie spicy salmon.

Authentic Japanese marketplace where you can find some unique imported items.

I was looking for marinated inari tofu pockets...found them...yayyyy...its hard to find this item unless you are going to be in Little Tokyo. Happy for a local source. Kinda expensive here overall, but when things are imported from Japan....still glad there's thus store in the SGV!!

Great store. Take a Google translator if u can't read Japanese. Very clean and Japanese-i. I Love Japan and it's people. Matsuda represents them well.

Delicious prepared sushi and bento boxes, but you have to be quick because they sell out by 1pm.

I bought a few bags of Japanese green tea and plum candies at this Mitsuwa Marketplace. The cashier was courteous and the selections of Japanese goods were impressive. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience as a shopper there.

They have lots of great Japanese products. Go early in the day for the best selection of freshly made lunch items.
