A new addition to the Kerrisdale hood! This Japanese convenience store is just what you expect…read more All the goods are neatly displayed. Snacks is what caught my eyes first. Different Kit Kat flavours alone occupy across the shelf. Then there are chips, gummies, you name it! They also sell rice and kitchen condiments if you ever run out of miso or udon soup base. The fridge carries other essentials like tofu and natto. They even have "sake kazu" from Vancouver's own Artisan Sake on Granville Island! The store is clean and spacious, and staff is professional. Absolutely love the location!

There is even a kitchen where you can get sushi by the box, ready to eat Chinese food by weight and so much more. Staff were friendly and informative and even though the place was packed, we managed to find a place to sit, close to the windows and away from the hustle and bustle of the store, to eat our sushi lunch.

I love this place.. maybe its cuz I'm missing home or just that they carry all of items that are…read morenot carried in the states. Hot food section lots of choices. We got some dim sum and honestly it was better than the dim sum restaurant that we were at in Seattle chinatown. Highlight of my visit was running into the service deli employee who speaks the same tai shan dialect as we do as most of the employees spoke mandarin. They carry snacks that we don't have at home. Their bakery section is insane. We bought the Mango Mocha cake and the Mango mochi puff, it was yummy. Overall, its much cleaner than the stores here and carry more selections than I have access at home.

I came on an early weekday afternoon and there was no one here. The lady working up front is so…read moresweet and kind and was very friendly. She even gave me a small free gift with my purchase (completely unprompted!). I was surprised by her generosity. This is a small little convenience store inside a hotel lobby, so it might not be visible from the street. You'll need to go to the lobby to find it inside. There's a lot of different little Asian snacks here. Lots of pocky, kit Kats from Japan, and other stuff. Of course it's pricier than usual because they are imported but these make great souvenirs or gifts for friends back home that might want to try some high quality snacks.

It's apparent that it's clean and fresh. The taste is just not even comparable to other mainstream market meats. That's all there is to it. Their shelves are always fully packed with many varieties, as well as international merchandise. Once you try their meats. You won't go anywhere else.

We only just recently discovered this hidden gem. Sakuraya is owned by the same people who run the…read moreKorean market on Broadway, called Kim's Mart. It is located right next door to Kim's Mart and is accessible via a flight of stairs leading upwards. They carry all sorts of Japanese goods. I picked up a few bottles of pink coloured Sakura cola there, and some prepackaged seasoned kelp which I like using at home to make onigiri. Usually I do it all from scratch using dried up sheets of Dashi Kombu. The prepackaged ones will save me a lot of work the next time I want to make them! We also found many items that were expired or close to their expiration date. There were huge discounts on these items. (eg. boxes of powdered drink mixes) We're fine buying these kinds of products as the "Best Before" dates don't necessarily mean "No Good after..." to us! I appreciate that this store openly admits that these products have expired or are near their expiration date. Gotta love the honesty! Quite heartbroken to learn that this place has been put on the market and may be gone soon. Boo hoo! We only just discovered this hidden gem. If this place does go, hope that we can squeeze in a few more visits before it's gone!
