Small cute Japanese store where you can get most of the stuff that Mitsuwa has which is one of the biggest stores here in Bay Area

I can’t believe what happened today! I went with my husband to the store to buy some veggies and my 35 years old husband took a beer and put it in the basket. The cashier did not want to sell us the beer because my husband did not bring his wallet with his ID. I showed my ID, and even after that he did not want to sell it! This is ridiculous! My husband is 35 years old and he is not that kind of guy that looks younger! Very disappointed with the store!

This grocery store has the essentials and is great for some easy asian staples, delicious snacks and good selection of fresh food. My one comment is some of the prices were a little absurd like $3-4 for a single bell pepper that’s not organic.

I used to live in Mountain View, and there's a larger Nijiya there, which was convenient when I needed to go to a Japanese grocery store. However, I really do like coming to this Nijiya location. It might be smaller, but it's still extremely well stocked. To top it off, the staff are very nice and helpful. They know the layout of their store very well, and are able to help me find things when my description is like "oh yeah, it's the stuff with the... spicy stuff, kinda? But not really spicy. And a little creamy."

IMHO I always love dropping into this cute little market whenever I'm in Japantown. I don't always have something in mind to purchase but I love cruising the aisles searching for anything that catches my eye. A few days ago, I found my favorite sake jelly shot canned drink. They were on sale! I bought four. They also have a display of Kelly's Kookies at the front door. I love shortbread cookies, and these are excellent. However, they are expensive, so I passed this time. The produce always looks neat, clean and fresh. Love looking through the frozen section for unique desserts. Tons of other food options, snacks, etc.

Staff was helpful and gave us some ice to keep the stuff cool on our way back to Reno. Gotta have properly made onigiri, bento, and Japanese beverages. This place had 3.5 out of 4. Onigiri and bento were just like in Japan. Oi-Ocha was the same. Choya was also the same, but none of the Japanese beer was any good. Asahi super dry brewed in Italy??? Are you serious! The store probably can’t control that, due to various government regulations, but they have more control over it than I do. Also lost a star because the store is too small.

Small store but packed with all the Nijiya essentials and friendly staff. Unfortunately, like others mentioned, closing at 7pm makes it difficult to shop after work or after dinner at nearby restaurants. Would love to see the hours return to 9pm!

My friend from San Jose recommended me this Japanese Market place saying that they had an excellent variety in Japanese food and snacks. The parking here is very crowded on a weekend, I went in the morning at 10:30 am and we parked about 1 1/2 blocks away from the market. When we first walked in, the ambiance of the place looked like your average supermarket but it was very small, but it still had all Japanese staple items. The service was alright and the cashier was very nice. The pork katsu sandwich caught my eye since I was craving it, the first bite, the katsu was very dry to me. If you're getting this, I recommend eating it with sauce or even heating it up a little. I would rate it a 4 star, but I have to bring it down because to MY SURPRISE, there was a small piece of plastic in my katsu sandwich. I'm sure it was an honest mistake and my friend said usually their place is clean with delicious food.

Bit on the pricey side but has a very interesting mix of items to purchase. The sushi, fried and other pre-prepared food is a quick and tasty fix when hunger hits.
