When I saw that there was a "Maruichi Select" coming to downtown Stamford, I assumed that, given the smaller location, this would be more like a convenience store for grabbing a quick bite. But that's definitely not the case. The focus here seems to be on more upscale products, e.g. there is a large selection of specialty soy sauces that are packaged like rare whiskys, and priced accordingly.
I didn't dip into those (yet), but the salmon sushi was really good (for pre-packaged lunch sushi), as was the onigiri. Lots of different kinds of teas, including good selections of both Ito En and Harney & Sons. And lots of interesting sauces too, plus a good selection of frozen foods (and hotpot ingredients). Overall this place is super well done, excited to have it here in down town Stamford! read more
