Mitsuwa Marketplace - San Gabriel in San Gabriel

Its a bit smaller than some other Mitsuwa locations but it has a nice selection of Japanese products. The fresh bakery goods are really good. I recommend the melon pan and cream pan! Really soft and just right amount of sweetness. My family also really like the seaweed crisps in the snack isle. The staff are polite and always greet us with a nice smile.

Having lived in Japan for a year, I came here excitedly! I was very pleased to see everything but I’m not sure if it’s because of covid-19 and the logistical disruption but there was barely any stock of anything. The stuff seems to come from Japan (as in imported) so the prices are extortionate. You pay about 3x what you would in Tokyo but I understand completely. I just think 3x is a little cray.But it was nice to be reminded of my time in Japan, and seeing all of these things were nice. I’d skip the produce and get the dried food. The vegetarian gyoza is delicious here!! (In the frozen section).

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.

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 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!

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.

Seems like a solid japanese marketplace. Was able to find the Choya sparkling plum wine I wanted, which I could not find in other Asian markets. Heres some photos of the alcohol for anyone interested haha...

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

Love Mitsuwa Markets. Great market to get fresh grade sashimi meats. The only downside is that the market is 4× smaller than your normal Mitsuwa Markets. Overall still good.

This market is very tiny compared with all the larger Mitsuwa stores. And they dont have the 6pm half price sushi special. They told me it was up to the managers mood that day. Seriously?!
