allfreetime Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Always behind the times, I just found out about this place. I plan to take a trip to their NJ location soon. Does anyone else go to this place? Worth a 4 hour trip and $8 GWB toll? HOMEPAGE Found these photos while searching for Spaghetti Sandwich: ^ That was all fake food but it looks good. Que first and fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackfatsoe Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 are you japanese or just intrigued by japanese grocery store novelty? I can't speak for Mitsuwa NJ, but the CA locations I've visited are worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delonemonkey Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 i have been to this place!!!! Honestly you can get some really good fresh shit like cakes and stuff like that. And good deals on all asian candy and shit. But most of the shit you can find in good ol NYC china town. BUt i would def. check it out. 4 hours is whack as fuck though.

sarcasm Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 i love mitsuwa. i used to live literally 1 block away from one... for those who don't know: its just a japanese super market - which translates to japanese treats, foods, drinks, alcohol, and other misc. items. since this is a japanese market, this also means expensive. like 10 dollars for dove shampoo expensive. the food court is bomb tho.. i love the katsu stall and santoku ramen stall. i'm not sure if the food court has the same food stalls in every mitsuwa, but the food is good nonetheless if u want cheap(er) asian snacks, hit up a korean market.. like shrimp chips at a japanese place (or even a albertsons or safeway) would be like $1.99 for a bag, where at a korean spot would be like 3/$1.50 the spot thats near me, has a bunch of random stores, including a big book store - for those who want to get the hella jdm anime fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korean stores gave the japanese stuff the ill mark up, Nijiya or Mitsuwa had better prices. I heard there's some small japanese grocery way outside of philly, but I haven't been yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tr808 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 i live real close to the jersey one, its pretty dope, they have really fresh produce and sashimi and they also carry all the Hitachino nest beers which is a bonus, but i dont think i would drive 4 hours for it.

Seven-30 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Every time Ive been to Mitsuwa, I feel like I'm in the movie Lost In Translation. I kind of like it. But if you do decide to go, I suggest check out the boutique shop they have literally right across the entrance. They have some weird shit.

TheoHuxtable.. Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 There's about 4 of these markets in my city/area. I wouldn't drive 4 hours for one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
