"Founded in 1998, Mitsuwa Marketplace is an excellent Japanese supermarket with 11 locations across the country, six of which are here in Southern California. That said, to call Mitsuwa merely a supermarket is underselling it. Along with an astounding array of Japanese dried goods, sauces, meats, and pre-packaged sushi boxes, you’ll also find bookstores, cosmetic counters, and an entirely separate food court with stalls selling everything from Japanese donuts to some of the best ramen in LA." - Brant Cox
