I had trip envy from several of my friends being on trips to Japan so I decided to Finally visit this store. I found many items I took home with me. They had a lot of ramen I had never seen before. They also had an extensive array of soy sauce which I need to investigate further . Everyone says this is a small store, but it has plenty to choose from. Some shelves were bare but I did go later on a Saturday Several items I purchased were on sale so that made them a good deal- other things I maybe wouldn't buy again unless they were on sale Packaged cake slices are very tasty I will definitely return

Japan has many wonderful products that aren't normally sold in the USA. Luckily, many of these interesting, beautiful and delicious things are available at Mitsuwa! This market is spotless and well-run, with a wide selection of foods and cosmetic items. Prices are fair and service is good. My only disappointment was I wanted an egg salad sando and they only had them with ham. Still, I enjoyed the selection and cleanliness of the store and will return.

I saw this place on Google reviews and I honestly thought the marketplace was bigger. But in all honesty it was so great inside that I didn't even really mind it being a bit smaller. I absolutely loved the ready to go food options that they had at the left side of the store. Their nigiri platter they had was fantastic! And the Wasabi marinated octopus was to die for. Will definitely be back if ever in town!

Reviews are way too hard on this place. It is expensive, but where else are you going to go in the Valley? Korean mushrooms are the same price as the Galleria, and I can always find get my dose of Japanese snacks, instant ramen, and quality plum wine and sake here. Prepared sushi plates are restaurant quality. If you're willing to wait until later in the evening, day old plates are often 40% off after 6 PM. Employees are friendly and there is a supply of utensils and condiments at checkout. I never exit on Corbin as traffic is terrible. Try to leave via Nordhoff to avoid 5 minute waits.

This is the most incredible store. There are new surprises around every corner. The variety of products and items available includes everything from yuzu ketchup to Hello Kitty branded face masks!! What a remarkable experience. I was captivated by the wide assortment of gifts, candies, fresh udon and soba noodles and all kinds of seaweed!! I cook with seaweed all the time and I loved the decorations on several of the gift sets! The staff I encountered were friendly and welcoming. I was able to find so many things I'd like to try that I wanted to share them with everyone. I will be back to explore more of the treasures here soon!

This Mitsuwa beach is one of their small stores but offers a variety of fresh seafood and sushi that is equally tasty and sumptuous. Located on Tampa Avenue and Nordhoff, in a smaller mall type location, Mitsuwa brings you Japanese food and culture in a nutshell. They also have groceries and a fruits and vegetables section where you can buy your favorite lettuce, cabbage and fruits. As usual, they also have a cosmetic section and a sauce section where you can buy your own Ponzu sauce or Yamasa Soy Sauce of your choice. Lastly, check out their wine and liquor section and enjoy their sake and plum wines and spirits. Itadakimas!

Provender: you won't find too many Japanese markets out in the valley, which makes Mitsuwa perfect, if you're looking for authentic Japanese ingredients or food. Prices: very reasonable. The selection of hot and cold food is affordably priced. Parking: plenty of parking since it's in a major shopping plaza. People: fun for all. Perks: if you're looking for prepackaged food (like sushi or katsu curry) this is a great spot. They also offer a fresh produce section with a decent chilled sake and chu hai area.

I have been meaning to review Mitsuwa since they opened but just have not gotten around to it until now. I was so happy when I heard they were opening a location in the valley close to me. Always would have to into LA or Torrance if I wanted to get specific Japanese items. With that said, this location is very convenient for me, but I have found it to be more expensive than other locations. Also, we love getting bentos for dinner sometimes and the bentos here are not nearly as good as the ones in Torrance. More expensive, less selection and smaller portions overall, so I still grab them from Torrance when I am traveling around that area. In a pinch we would get them from this location. They do have sales often and we are able to find good deals on things we like during sales, so we are always keeping an eye on sales to grab Nori, Miso, Oden Sets, sushi, etc. Love being able to have a location so close to grab stuff we need and not drive an hour or more to get it. Very nice to get the New Years Osechi Ryori, Japan's traditional food served during the New Year's holidays. The various foods have meanings for health, happiness, wealth, etc. so nice getting it here, thank you. This location is not that big, but it is clean and well organized, it has a good variety of items as well for the size and you can find pretty much anything you are looking for here. Sushi, veggies, udon, hot food, cold food, bentos, snacks, housewares, meats, seafood, sauces, wakame, tofu, etc. so much more. Enjoy!

The best thing that this Japanese market has is a great deli section and really good prices in its frozen section. The bad thing about it is you have to get there early because the selections go pretty quickly. If you come after seven everything is almost gone. But the prices are still good so it's worth, stopping in after seven I've been looking forward to having Mitsuwa in the valley for a long time. I never thought it would be possible and I'm really glad that they took the chance to open up. The store is looking better and better with its cool stock and promotions from different areas. I like the big signs that tell me what the promotion is so that I can get it before it's gone. That's the flipside, if there's something that you really like and it's a promotion, they probably might not carry it again or if you're lucky you can get it next year.
