I made a stop here again and tried some more onigiri's: Mentaiko Onigiri - had slight spice which had mentaiko, salmon and a shiso leaf. Pretty good. Unagi onigiri - classic unagi with some rice and shiso leaf. Salmon with Fish Roe Onigiri - probably one I always get with the salmon and fish roe. Will come back again. read more

Omg I've been missing out!! 25% off on food after 6pm. I stopped by after work and it was around 7:30pm. Apparently 8pm is 50% off because the store closes at 8:30pm. Lots of bento boxes to choose from. They have a wide array of Japanese items (Takoyaki, sushi, bulgogi and rice, Okonomiyaki, fish, katsu, etc). Honestly I felt overwhelmed (like a kid in the candy store). I couldn't decide on just 1 item!! I also browsed the cute merch and got myself a bag of matcha Kit Kat from Japan. I thought the price was great for the amount of food I got. Staff very nice and welcoming. Store is well kept and FIFO accordingly. I thought the yakisoba was ok. Okonomiyaki was decent. I liked the inari and takoyaki. I will definitely be back to try some of their other items as well. read more

This is a dangerous place for blind box fans, not one is there delicious eats to pick up... Bunny's Cafe has a huge inventory of Miffy, Smiski, Sonny Angels and such - it's blind box galore. I have to make a stop here every time I am in the area. It is a grab and go place with hot eats to get in the back. The shop is set up that you can walk through everything and check out all the food and trinkets! There is a huge selection of Miffy dishware, this place is gold for any Miffy fan! Everything is neatly organized and staff will check you out once you've made your way through. My favorite to get is the white tuna tataki, the green onion in it is a must have in each bite! I always grab the onigiri (rice ball) when there too, they are generously packed with large pieces of protein. Parking does get hectic in the lot once it's gets later in the day, I always try to go early as possible or I play the parking lottery... parking waiting game? Patience is needed for sure. Final Thoughts: I always have to budget myself when coming here or I am walking away with too many blind boxes... read more

Just a neat joint to take fresh Japanese food to go. Ideal for any Situation or circumstance/ read more

This is a shop in the plaza with Mitsuwa. There's a huge variety of hot (don, okonomomiyaki, etc.) and cold items (chirashi, sushi bowls, sashimi, etc.), as will as rice balls to choose from. The items are all decently priced, fresh, and decent quality. There is no seating - it is purely a takeout spot. The people working there are super polite. read more

Very fun spot to grab ready to eat Japanese food and shop for trinkets, home goods, & blind boxes. They have tons of food options I don't usually see at Japanese markets or grocery stores like mentaiko pasta, okinomiyaki, pudding, etc. The food is also kept warm so it's ready to eat and you don't have to microwave! Prices are pretty reasonable (most hot foods were under $20). The okinomiyaki sampler was okay-- the toppings were good but the okinomiyaki base itself was a bit thick and had too much sauce. The shrimp tempura hand roll was super yummy though. They also have tons of blind boxes, sonny angels/smiskis, monchhichi, mofusand, miffy, snoopy, and other cute Japanese goods which was so fun to browse. The space is small inside so it gets pretty cramped when busy but the checkout line moves fast. They unfortunately don't have seating inside but do give out napkins & chopsticks when you check out. There's also the Mitsuwa market nearby that has tables you could eat at. read more

Repeated Fugetsu customer here! This is the perfect grab-and-go spot for your Japanese cravings. I have been to Fugetsu at least 8 times at this point and will definitely come here again. This spot is located in Strawberry Park in Saratoga and is right next to Clover Bakery. While Clover Bakery tends to have longer lines, I personally have never run into a scenario where Fugetsu is packed. There is no seating, by the way, and parking can get a little hectic because of the nature of this plaza. I will say that over the years, Fugetsu has really stocked up on its selection and range of food. When you first enter, they have their stock of okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and generous bentos. As you turn the corner, they have sashimi, onigiri, dons, and more. Sometimes I get decision paralysis, but in a good way. I want to note that while I have never been disappointed by the food I get here, there isn't anything that has blown me away either. That being said, whenever I am having a picnic, this is the first spot I think of when I want to stock up for my friends and me. What is cool about this place, too, is that half of the store is dedicated to food, while the second half has merch, trinkets, and dinnerware. They carry Sonny Angels, Smiskis, loads of Miffy items, some Sanrio, and if you're a Sylvanian Families collector like me, you'll really enjoy it here. That said, they do upcharge quite a bit on some items. For example, a Sonny Angel at Mitsuwa (in the same plaza) can be around $16 (which is still expensive), while here it's closer to $21. read more

Stopped here on a Sunday afternoon to get some snacks. It is located in a large shopping complex. Although the parking lot was big, empty spots were hard to come by. We circled a few times with no luck so we ended up parking on the street. It was a small place with lots of bento and onigiri options. In the back are some hot food options. It was a little pricey there. I got the unagi onigiri and spam and egg musubi and it came out to over $13. Some of the bento boxes seemed welled priced. read more

We stopped here to pick up food for a picnic at John Mise Park. It's conveniently located in the Mitsuwa shopping center on Saratoga and Moorpark. Parking is tough, but that's not the fault of Fugetsu. The selection is great, and I enjoyed my combo meal of yakiniku and tonkatsu. Flavor was good and of course it's not on the same level as getting it made fresh to order for you, but for a picnic, it's great to have so many options like this. Service was friendly at the register and the store also has other fun Japanese goods like toy figures (though kind of overpriced). A bit crowded, but it just means that there's a lot of stuff packed into the space to choose from. So I like it - reasonable quality food, great selection, fair prices. read more

Came here for the first time last Friday. It's right next to Clover. Very convenient, as we're also getting some stuff there. I had bookmarked this place for a while and wanted to check it out, anyway. Parking in the lot outside wasn't too bad around 5pm. They had a few other customers but not too busy. I was impressed by the huge bento and onigiri selections they had. They had a hot appetizer case at the back and some drinks as well. It took us a while to decide what to get. Everything looked really good. Besides food items, they also had a lot of interesting and cute Japanese figurines, tableware, toys, etc. Checkout was efficient and the staff were friendly. The food, however, looked much better than they tasted. We got 5pcs of takoyaki to share, and all 3 of us didn't like it. They're small, soggy and seemed to have been in the heater for a long time; just nothing like the usual takoyaki we had at restaurants. My unagi don was also ... meh. The amount of unagi was ok, but the quality wasn't very good. It was chewy and not flavorful. There was quite a bit of rice, and could use more sauce or some furikake. My husband and daughter said their bento, onigiri and drinks were ok. I'll probably stick with the bentos from Mitsuwa next time, though. read more

Interesting place actually. I have recently ordered food from here and it tasted very good. I thought I was going to get something very bland but it had a lot of flavor. There are a lot of good choices of what to buy and even better sushi costs lesser than the restaurants. Good place to buy bentos if you are heading to work or are going to the beach. For every day eating, please come at your own risk. Employees are very nice. Guiding me along the way to tell me what is inside each food box I see. They are very patient. Will come again but only for special occasions. Drawback: The first time I came here, I overspent. If you are new to this place please take some time to think instead of buying whatever you think is affordable. If you are on a budget please be extra careful as with any japanese food it will cost a lot. read more

Great place to get grab and go meals: sushi, full combo meal sets, musubi, onigiri, etc. Their onigiri is one of the most flavorful I've ever tried. I'm the kind of person that asks for less rice in my musubi whenever I can, but here the rice has so much flavor that I would welcome any amount. The smoked salmon and shiso onigiri is one of my faves. read more

Had a lot of fun here getting food for a picnic. There were so many options we had a hard time choosing, and my kids had to help me have some self control. Everything looked really fresh and held at the proper temperature. The staff were really polite and helpful for any questions we had. The toys, gifts, and dishes you could buy really add to the feeling of stepping into a store in Japan. But the okonomiyaki was awesome. We got the family combo to try a little of everything, a salted mackerel onigiri, a beef onigiri, and a fish cake gimbap. I'm not sure if I could pick one thing being better than the rest- maybe the beef. Definitely would come back for food, maybe not to shop since most of the items felt way overpriced. read more

This place is 5 for its price point! They gave us quite a bit of salmon for $15. They offer a lot of fun japanese food options from onigiri, donburi, okonomiyaki, meal sets, chirashi, kimbap, and a lot more. I'd highly recommend this place for anyone looking for something filling at a good price. Parking: big lot but there can be a lot of people. It should not be a problem with a little patience :) Bonus: In the back of the store, they sell smiskis, miffy's, t-shirts, sunny angels! These are less of a steal but they are always in stock. They even had some hippers! read more

Came here on a Saturday and it was packed. It's a really small place, super cramped inside, but it's wonderful! Service was solid. They got lots of food options to choose from. I'd say reasonable priced and affordable!! Getting your bang for your buck. Also, they have lots of SUPER cute knickknacks like blind boxes, key chains, etc etc. Those prices are crazy though so beware... ended up walking out with food only, but I had to fight some demons to get there. The amount of self control you have to have to not indulge in spending lots of your money in there. Minus a star for the layout and how cramped it is. Besides that, a fun place! read more

So fun. Full of things I love and want to eat. Culturally sound Japanese eatery and shop. It's more than just bentos and other Japanese eats...it's food excitement. I was very full and happy when it was all over. The service was excellent, sizing up what you bought and giving you everything you need to get by, nothing more but plenty. That's good management.

Fugetsu in Saratoga is a very interesting place where they sell Japanese toys, snacks, merchandise PLUS bento boxes from different Japanese restaurants they own. This small shop is very cramped like everyone else commented but the cashiers are very nice, sometimes you will find some good deals. For example we got this huge plate of chirashi sushi from Rokko for $45, it has enough food to serve 6 people. read more

What an interesting little spot, with its blend of grab-and-go Japanese comfort meals and collectibles for sale. I visited for the first time on a weekend afternoon and while the cramped space was definitely packed, the line was surprisingly short and there was no wait when it came time to pay. While okonomiyaki is in the name, there's a number of other plates here that you won't find at the Japanese restaurants nearby (including the okonomiyaki, which isn't always an easy find on a menu in the Bay Area) alongside some well-known favorites. From omu soba to beef teriyaki don, from seafood shio yakisoba to hayashi rice, poke don, multiple variations of okonomiyaki, and so much more, there's something for everyone here. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer variety, but take your time because you never know what might be waiting that day for you to try (the menu has its regular items but others seem to get discontinued and replaced from time to time). If you're not hungry for a full meal, there are snacks like onigiri, a kushi katsu station with a lot of different fried options (takoyaki, croquettes, etc.), or prepackaged snacks. Make your way down the aisle from the food to the collectibles on your way to the registers and see if there's anything you want to grab before you leave. I went with the hayashi rice plate and can't wait to go back for it again. It came with a decent amount of rice topped with scrambled egg and a dash of ketchup, two croquettes, a handful of vegetables, and a well of the beef in gravy with carrots and mushrooms. Absolutely delicious and satisfying. This place is awesome and I wish there were either more Fugetsus around the Bay Area or more places like it. Good food at good prices. read more

We went there for the end-of-the-day 25% off discounted prepackaged food items. There was a large variety to choose from. Unfortunately, the food didn't taste very good, and the texture was not acceptable. They sell a lot of toys and other Japanese imported items as well. read more

I finally made a point to check out the offerings at Fugetsu San Jose. It's on the corner of Moorpark & Saratoga, in the Strawberry Plaza. Fugetsu is a great spot to run in and out and grab some ready-made Japanese food for lunch, dinner, a picnic, or anytime you don't feel like cooking or sitting in a restaurant. Since my first visit, I've grabbed food on the go multiple times. Everything I've tried has been excellent! The Kani Poke had crab, tuna, & salmon over rice and a little seaweed salad garnish in addition to the green onions sprinkled on top. Another time I tried the Unagi, egg, & beef plate. I was really impressed that the eggs were easy scrambled and not overcooked, and the portion of unagi was quite generous. The Oden Kimbap was huge and filled with lots of tasty ingredients, and the unagi onigiri was good too. Fugetsu is definitely a great spot to grab some food to go. If you're in West San Jose, check it out! read more

Fugetsu is a fun little shop I like to pop into when I'm making my rounds to Mitsuwa and Daiso. There's a huge selection of onigiri, bento boxes, and trinkets. I find that the price is a bit high for convenience market snacks and I find myself spending way more money here than I intend to! Over time I have tried several varieties of their onigiri and so far my favorite is the spicy mentai salmon, or anything with unagi, salmon roe, or hamachi. We've also tried the loco moco bowl,the saba shio bento and some of the curry donburi bowls. The food is pretty tasty. The staff at the checkout are always welcoming and friendly . The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is becuase the temperature the food is kept at is a bit questionable to me. I'm not too sure if I can recall a label on the food that dates the time the food was placed out, or if it has a label of freshness at all. If it does, it's either teeny tiny or unnoticeable. Sometimes the heat lamps feel really warm, other times not and the same goes for the refrigerated items with in relation to how cold it is. I'm not sure if the items were just restocked recently so they're not cold, but more often than not, a ton of items feel close to room temperature. Overall, it's a fun little shop worth checking out and I definitely need to try their okonomiyaki! read more

AMAZING TO-GO JAPANESE BENTOS!! This place is my favorite when it comes to quick and easy meals. I've been coming here for a long time and everything always tastes amazing! They have sashimi, onigiris, takoyaki, gimbap, and desserts as well. The food prices range from $5-20 and they even have a selection of popular toys and blind boxes available as well. The staff are very welcoming, friendly, and always ensures we have a smooth checkout. This place is a decently small shop with narrow aisles and does get busy sometimes. Parking can become a hassle on the weekends since it's in a busy plaza!! read more

Overall rating: 5/5 A fun Japanese market with a lot of grab and go items. My partner and I stopped by around 6pm on a Saturday and saw a bunch of people coming in and out of the store. The interior is a bit dark but there are lights illuminating the food items. The layout of the store is organized in a fixed path. You get to see and browse all their items (hot, cold, drinks, cute accessory and toys, etc.) until you finally reach the cashier station. The workers were friendly and efficient. I really enjoyed their onigiri selection and ended up getting: -umami onigiri (5/5): super flavorful and savory. My favorite one! -yellowtail onigiri (5/5): they do not skimp out on the meat. I love that they also seasoned the rice enough where you still get the flavor from the fish coming through Would I come back? Yes Would I recommend this place? Yes! For a quick grab and go, it's really good read more

Grab and go Japanese food! Lots of selection from takoyaki, katsu, onigiri, sushi, fresh fish to fried food. There's even smiski blind boxes + lil trinkets too! I got a mixed fish/salmon bowl. For a grab and go place, the fish was pretty good! The egg that came with it was a little too sweet tho. My bf got a mixed karaage rice bowl. He said it was just ok. We also got potato croquettes that were ok, a little bland. If we're talking "fast Japanese food", I prefer the croquettes from Nijiya Market (Mountain View). The onigiri is also a little more expensive compared to Clover bakery next door 3.5 stars, but will round up to 4. Selection is so big, I want to try everything! read more

I came here after work (got here 7pm). Food were already discounted (25%) and it tasted good. The only thing I wish is that I'm able to warm up the food (maybe a microwave or air fryer) . This is a good place to go too if you want something already made for either snack or lunch/dinner. It's also convenient that it's in the same plaza of Mitsuwa market, Daiso, Paris Baguette and many more. They also have some goods such as mofusand, miffy, popmart blind boxes, labubu accessories. By adding these goods the space becomes a little crowded and packed. Overall, I'm still going to visit and come to this place as they offer different types of ready to eat food and some goods that can be given as a present. read more

Finally stopped by this place and got a hamachi teriyaki onigiri which was delicious, unfortunately I had the salmon onigiri which I think was some type of roe that was spicy and I started to get itchy which is weird because I'm not allergic to roe since I had it before so maybe it was just an ingredient in it they used that made that happen. Other than that it was good I went later in the afternoon so not much choices for onigiris but they did have a lot of bentos, decent pricing. They had all those toys like Sonny angels and smiskis and what not but for a hefty price. You can buy them cheaper only legit but I guess if you don't want to wait and don't care then this place is for you! read more

Another amazing Japanese market in the bay! For a quick grab and go that won't break the bank, Fugetsu is just the place.

Going to give this place 5 stars just based on the large variety of items they have here and how beautiful things were set up. Area moves like a packed public cafeteria but is neatly stocked so it has a nice look. Person at the register was helpful as well. Had the hamachi onigiri, was pretty good, not fishy at all. Had the chicken katsu musubi as well, the chicken was a nice thick piece that was super crunchy still. Loco moco came w a lot in it. Beef wasn't that salty, gravy was a sweet gravy.

Fugetsu is a Japanese take out deli in the square with Mitsuwa. The place is a bit disorganized but the cashiers are friendly enough. I've gone here twice. The first time I only got the warabimochi which was overpriced but actually really good. It brought back memories of my trips to Japan. The second time, I got one of the onigiri rice balls. It was just ok but tasted a bit weird. Honesty I think it was sitting there too long and I got a bit sick afterwards. Reading through their health department report basically confirms the issues with holding temperatures and time as a public health control. I really want to like and trust this place. If they can get their food hygiene up to par, I'll go back. read more

Fugetsu is a small grab and go Japanese market with bento boxes, onigiris, and a variety of other Japanese foods. They also sell knick knacks at Fugetsu, which is what I came for.

I got two Miffy blind boxes from here, and I'm happy with what I got. The prices are reasonable, service is quick, and the store is unique since they have both food and goodies. There are no tables inside, so if you grab food you can find seating at the benches outside. I have yet to try their food, but they looked good and I might try it when I'm back next time. read more

They've added a vegan option! I was at Clover next door with my mom and decided to pop in since she'd never been here before. I walked in thinking they wouldn't have anything vegan, but I spotted a Vegan Onigiri! It's made with soy protein, edamame, and soy sauce. The person working there mentioned it's new, only a week old. I had to try it because I'm always interested in vegan options at non-vegan places. Plus, I really appreciate when restaurants make an effort to accommodate various dietary needs. It was delicious! I actually preferred it over the tofu onigiri at Clover. I'd definitely buy it again when I'm craving some onigiri. I wish I would've taken a picture of the in-store display (the basket they were in). I also forgot to take a pic before I ate half of it; I was just too excited about a vegan option to remember, so please forgive the not-so-great pic I've included. read more

I recently visited again and this place changed so much! Plenty of parking still. It's cute how they have merchandise now, but I would say it feels more cramped inside. Good thing they have like the maze structure of one way out and in. The cashiers are always so nice, and have a smile on their face. Their food remains still so good! I always get their onigiris, which feels more like rice balls. Little pricey but it's huge to me and filling. I haven't seen another place make like their version of onigiris. I especially like the various salmon ones. I have tried their donburis before, and they were tasty and filling as well. I like their tempura as well as despite it being under a heat lamp, it remains crunchy. I look forward to trying their sushi items next! read more

I got the salmon and saba bento this time and it was a great deal! Everything tasted fresh, and it was a large portion for only $14. I really liked the shrimp tempura and the saba was grilled well.
