Lots of interesting Japanese merchandise jam packed into this two level store that comes complete with a reading lounge in the basement. It goes to show how much effort the owners have put into sourcing and stocking the various Japanese goods, large and small, into this store - something this is not easy during these tough times. I really enjoyed visiting this store, kudos!

I really hate to do this and leave a bad review, but here is my experience with this shop, ordering through the Shop app. I ordered two packs of a frozen Yamachan ramen that I really like and it says on the package that its a perishable frozen item, and when I received both packages, they had been warm for a couple of days and had nothing to keep them cold. I reached out to the manufacturer to see if they would still be safe to eat, but after talking with them, it sounded like itd be best if I threw them away, which I did. I reported the issue to this shop through the Shop app and through email separately, and my emails have been ignored and I have not received any replies whatsoever and at this point, its 10 days after delivery. Im pretty disappointed, and I dislike having to leave bad reviews, but this is my honest experience with ordering from this shop. I am hoping that I get a refund for my order, and I hope they take this as constructive criticism on how to improve going forward.

The store is not too bad, but I would prefer the Japan Kobe Amine over in Elk Grove. It has way more anime figures and etc.

Price of goods is much higher than the price of goods in other Asian groceries like the Kim Mart. Buyers be aware that this store strictly maintains no return, no exchange policy - even when you want to exchange anything unopened within a few hours of buying and even you have the receipt! And even if your reason for your wanting to return the food is that there are some ingredients in the food (written in fine print or in Japanese) that you cannot take due to allergy or any ethical practice that you follow. The other store, which is almost next door to this store, keeps much more and varieties of the items than this store and better return policy.

Love this place!!! They have so many cool things to look at/ purchase. Also make sure to check out the downstairs part of the store, I missed it the first couple times I went in. They have a great selection of Anime T-shirts and Plushies; as well as a seating area to eat your snacks/ just chill out and read.

This is a terrific shop! It has an assortment of snacks and cooking supplies upstairs, in addition to stuffed animals and a seating area in the lower level.2023. Just came back to update that this is still one of my favorite shops in Davis- such a special place. Really fun place to discover new snacks and goods. The owner is really great and works hard to stock the store with interesting items.

I love this little shop! They have a huge selection of Japanese snacks with many things I cant find at the other Japanese markets. Plus, they have a ton of cute anime items, stationery, and random cute household items. They also have a sweet hangout spot downstairs when we arent in quarantine. Also, the staff is always nice and helpful. My only complaint: the aisles are very narrow.

Theres a good selection of food, art supplies/stationary, and anime merch (lanyards, pins, figures, plushes, etc). Most of the smaller stuff that wasnt food was locked on the rack and had to be unlocked by staff for purchase. A little bit pricey but worth it in my opinion. :)
