Came here one afternoon and tried a variety of items: Got the Salmon Ikura Onigiri which had shiso leaf, salmon and salmon eggs with rice. Ebi Mayo Onigiri, which reminded me of walnut shrimp except not sweet since the shrimp is battered and had rice. Spam and Egg Musubi came with Spam, egg and some type of creamy sauce with the musubi. Pretty good. Overall good quality food and will be back 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

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

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

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. Last words... wife said "if you lived in town, you'd be poor ". read more

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

Fugetsu San Jose is located at a plaza shared with other businesses. There is a big parking lot, so free parking was not an issue. 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 came about 1 hour before closing so things were limited. I got a California roll and it was fresh and delicious. Next time I plan to come earlier so I can try their other food.

It's a small store that sells a bunch of bentos and rice ball. The bentos are really good and great for a grab and go. Service really friendly and the store sells lots of blind boxes too. There isn't room for seating inside but there is a patio outside next to the ramen place to sit and eat your food. Place is clean and organized so easy to find what you are looking for and they have so many options. 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

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

i love fugetsu for the convenience and variety! i love the onigiris since there's so many options to choose from and they're so good. their fried hot foods in the back is a nice option for fresh hot foods! there's a part of the store where you can also get different trinkets, cookware, etc. it's nice if you want some japanese related merchandise or japanese character items. i also appreciate that they offer a small discount near the end of the day to get rid of their hot foods. you can save a bit of money with that discount. wish they were closer to me but whenever i'm in the area, it's a must visit ! read more

A nice and fun Japanese food market with a lot of cute toys and imported items from Japan . It has my beloved miffy and I got a miffy figure and a soft clothes miffy coin purse with a tiny yellow teddy bear . My friend got two miffy ceramic cups .

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

The convenience sister store of fugetsu Sunnyvale. It's got lots of Japanese take out foods like bentos...onigiri... And lots more. Some prices are really good and some are meh as well as the taste. Some are great and some are mid. Still tho it's a quick and easy spot to get fairly solid Jap food especially a quick okonomiyaki . Overall, if you've never been and you're in the area it's def worth a lil visit 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

Another amazing Japanese market in the bay! For a quick grab and go that won't break the bank, Fugetsu is just the place. Not only do they have hot foods, they also have so many different types of onigiri. If I could I would get one of everything, but I'll just keep on coming back. The staff are friendly and it's a cute little market type situation, I felt like a little kid in a candy store. read more

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. The sausage in there was fire too. 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

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

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

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

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. They have so many blind boxes, plushies, some ceramics, and more. They sell Sanrio, Miffy, Snoopy, Sonny Angels, Smiskis and more. 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

I was hanging out w my friend and suggested we grab lunch close by. We decided on this place and I am so pleased that we tried this place. This is not a sit down restaurant, but they have a variety of options of food to choose from. The layout of this store is great, and the food tastes great and fresh. The food here is ready to eat and so convenient! I grabbed the Chicken Katsu Don and Philly Sushi Roll. The portions are generous and nice presentation. I also love that they sell a variety of trinkets as well. I have kids and their products to buy reminded me of something you would find at MiniSo at the mall. Really happy we tried this place! Will definitely return! 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

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

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

Furthermore, you can get giant chirashi plates as pictured below that is FILLED with rice, feeds you for days. Tons of tamago, salmon sashimi, and seaweed. These usually never sell out.

Perfect spot if you want something yummy on the go without breaking the bank. There are plenty of options from bentos, okonomiyaki, and other deli-style meals made fresh, all of which have generous portions. The ambiance is so cute and there's also tons of blind boxes, Miffy, and Snoopy. There's no indoor seating, so we brought our meals over to Mitsuwa next door to eat. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu! 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.

This is not a restaurant but rather a grab-and-go place selling ready-to-eat hot foods. There are a bunch of bento box varieties to choose from along with other food items like onigiri and musubis. It can get pretty crowded inside, but it seemed like people are able to move their way through somewhat quickly. Prices are reasonable and the food is filling. There's also a section in the store where they sell items such as blind boxes, but most people come for the food. I wish they would just remove the non-food area to make way for the food. I think I would come more often if it was easier to navigate and move around in the store. read more

was sooo excited when we found out about this place online! we wanted to get something small and not too heavy as a very late afternoon lunch, and this place had soooo many options! We decided to get the bulgogi kimbap and the mackerel onigiri. The kimbap was deliciousssss! it has so many different aspects in it. Incredibly flavorful. The mackerel onigiri was good, but was lacking a bit of salt. Don't get me wrong though, we still loved it. Around the store is also a lot of small cute things. They even have some blind boxes and random stuff! Overall, I'm happy to have found this place and will def come back to pick up some quick food to go! read more

Found out on-the-spot that Clover Bakery & Cafe was temporarily closed for its post-holiday-rush vacation (womp womp, but well deserved) so I decided to mosey over next door to check out this spot for some Japanese grub. Hmm the unagi onigiri and inari sushi were just okay. The unagi had a slight slimy texture and was on the bland side. The rice was nicely plump and uniformly-packed though. I liked the texture and taste of the pocket tofu wrapping of the inari sushi but the fillings were a bit unremarkable flavor-wise. Had the warabi mochi for dessert; the matcha powder on it was pretty bitter so good thing that a small container of brown sugar syrup was included with the mochi lol. Overall wouldn't say that it's a must-try spot but if you're craving for some ready-made Japanese food this place would do it for ya. read more

I remember this place being different a couple years ago. I really thought this was a Japanese restaurant that offered dishes like curry, okonomiyaki and yakisoba. I went again around covid times and it was a grab and go bentos and snacks, onigiri, spam musubi, drinks, and pocky. They also have toys, figures, and houseware. This place has a little of everything. Cool little spot to check out though while you are running around Strawberry Plaza. read more

Cute store with lots of ready to go meals packaged. I got the chicken teriyaki and kimbap. The chicken was a little dry but overall it tasted good.

This is one of my favorite finds in Japantown San Jose. There's a great to go session each time. It's always best to go before the dinner time because the later you go, the less options you might have. My favorite is the table with the different shrimp hand rolls or onigiri. The gimbap is very filling and has lots of food. The California roll is filled with large amount of crab. The fried section is really delicious especially the potato croquette and seafood tempura. A great selection when you want to drop by to grab lunch or dinner. read more
