I have dove into Uwajimaya on several occasions but my last time here I scoped out the store pretty…read morethoroughly. The options at this grocery store is overwhelming but it's kind of a treat also. There is lots of merchandise that you can't get at any run of the mill grocery store. This grocery store is mainly tuned into Asian shoppers and so you get a lot of merchandise that you don't see in just any everyday place. I heard coming here you can get all kinds of different flavors of Kit Kats and indeed I did find a lot of different ones. I purchased a flavor though that I haven't tried before which made it fun. It was a dark chocolate Kit Kat. But what I unexpectedly found was different Pocky flavors also. The sweet tasting pretzel stick I have had plenty of times with chocolate and strawberry flavors but I found one with fruit (mango) chunks that was a part of the flavor. It was good! Perhaps not my favorite but I'm glad I got to try something new! In addition to that there is something similar to Pocky called Pretz. This is a more savory version of Pocky. I found a toasted sugar flavor which I never came across before and that was good too! So it definitely was a hit coming back again. In addition to the grocery store itself at this location there is a connecting bookstore and a food court. So you could definitely spend a considerable amount of time here! I enjoy the bookstore but haven't tried the food court so that will be yet another visit for another time.

Uwajimaya is the place to go to when you're searching for Asian food or drink items and can't find…read moreit anywhere else. I remember the first time I went there in the early 1990s when I first moved to Seattle. I was blown away by the variety and how clean it was. Now, there are a lot more Asian grocery stores to shop at, but Waji's is still one of the cleanest and brightest places to shop at. Kudos to them for always trying to improve themselves. On a recent visit, my hubs and I got a bunch of green teas (sencha, kukicha, hojicha) and some sesame oil. They have a decent selection of green teas and we're happy they carry the Sugimoto Tea brand which is based in Seattle. I love the super cute Kinokuniya bookstore attached to the grocery store too. It's chock full of books, journals, calendars, stationery, kawaii stuff! Worth a visit just on its own. We wish their hot and prepared foods were better. One time we got a katsu bento plate that was just tasteless and terrible. The spam musubi wasn't even very good. Sigh. Wish their cookies, treats, baked goods section was better too. Taking one star off for all that but otherwise, still a pleasant place to shop at and there's a big parking lot with validation (up to 2 hours with a $20 or more purchase).

Disappointed by aggressive checkout monitoring regarding bag fees -…read more I(25M LGBTQI+) had an incredibly frustrating experience at the self-checkout here. While checking out, I used two paper bags and was confronted by an employee who essentially forced me to add the bag charges to my bill. While I understand there is a Washington state bag law, the employee's approach felt completely aggressive and unnecessary for a 24-cent issue. Metropolitan Market already charges premium prices, and being policed over paper bags at a self-checkout is an incredibly uninviting customer experience. I will definitely think twice before coming back to this location.

Always super kind, approachable, and make you feel welcome instead of like a burden. *Cough Qfc, Cough* There are two places that just do not know how to disappoint. Trader Joes and Costco. They got the formula locked in folks. The BEST products, CHEAP prices, GREAT energy, and people who just seem to CARE. 5 Stars, every time.

On this visit, I got one of those viral canvas tote bags... they're so popular overseas and are selling for around $40 when the original price is just $4.99, plus tax! The limit for the new green handled tote bag is 4 per customer. I also got some mini totes in the original colors of red, yellow, navy, and green handles. They're just $3.99, plus tax. The limit is 2 of each color. As usual, I looked at freshly cut flowers, greeting cards, and snacks. Everything is reasonably priced and the employees are very friendly and helpful! We found the mascot (a plushie monkey) and got free stickers as our reward (instead of a lollipop). It was a fun shopping experience!
