The place close very early.
Jerry E.

It had been quite a while since I last visited and shopped at this market, so I was shocked by how exorbitant the prices have become. For example, a single bottle of tea was nearly $4.00! Another example was a package of udon selling for close to $10, while the same or similar product can be found elsewhere for less than $7.00. Darn! It must be the high rent! To make matters worse, parking for just a little over an hour cost me $8.00 because the market does not validate parking. Well, for locals like me, this is definitely a place to avoid. There are plenty of other markets around town offering much better prices and deals, including fre parking. Just my two cents.

Went inside to check out this Japanese supermarket named Mitsuwa. They have many different products that are also imported from Japan. From beauty, drinks, and teas, and makeup and facial items this is a good find if you need any of these. There is also a small food court and they do sell a variety of lunch options. Bought a drink and also some gifts for my friends back in Los Angeles.

Fantastic Asian supermarket on the second floor of the international marketplace. They have Ramen and Wagyu and everything that you might want from an Asian market. Both fresh to take home and cook as well as pre-cooked and to eat there as a meal. We wanted something quick and healthy after our intense morning of hiking and we bought this sushi box to share which had a really great selection of sushi for just under $25

My go to place to buy quick lunch / eats nearby. I love japanese eats and for something quick and priced reasonably this is the best spot to grab something. I have enjoyed buying the black cod bento rice plates here because for the price and the amount you pay its a deal to enjoy black cod fish that is grilled with sushi rice, along with sides of mac salad, pickles. The fish is tender and cooked perfectly with the soft rice and the mac salad is delicious as well. They are priced the same so I usually pic the 2 slabs of fish that are larger than others. LOL Quick snacks of buying ice cream cones from japan costing $9 and you get 6 cones with 2 different flavors. Also tapioca bowls, and japanese custard cups also fresh sushi rolls are available. They charge for a bag here so you are better off grabbing a "vegetable produce" bag nearby the sushi roll area and bagging your items and eating your food in their food court area where I hear the ramen spot there is delicious. The food court has a microwave to reheat bento plates and also they offer a hot water pot for ramen bowls to be eaten. You have to hunt down napkins and utensils so its best to ask the cashier for these items before you leave the cash register. Across this store is the Magnolia halo halo ice cream shop. A filipino shave ice / ice cream eatery.

Cute Japanese convenience store with a nice selection of drinks, food, and groceries. I stopped by for a quick lunch and grabbed some sushi. Sushi was just ok, 7-11 taste better. While browsing, I noticed a very small section of face masks, and surprisingly they had the exact masks I'd been desperately looking for. I couldn't find them anywhere else, not even Don Don Donki or Don Quijote have them. So I immediately bought three packs, which should last me for the next several months. Definitely a convenient stop with some unexpected gems!

We love Mitsuwa. We come here every time we're in the area. They have a variety of good eats and easy to grab items. They also have a wide selection of drinks. There's two restaurants you can get hot foods from. There's a bunch of gacha machines you can get little toys from (though it's quite pricey). Sometimes the lines can get long depending on the time of day you're there, but the service is usually pretty fast, so even long lines are not too tedious. This was not our first time here and definitely won't be our last.

Jubes!

Japanese market located in International Market place. Decent selection ton of freshly prepared foods, a few food vendors & a small section for quick dining. Aisles are small but they packs. Punch with the options. Found a few items here that I don't normally see another Japanese markets. Prices are comparable to others. Clean store. Friendly service. Bags cost $0.65 vs the norm of $0.15 that I'm used to at other locations.

Mitsuwa is a MUST! We don't have a Mitsuwa Marketplace in Atlanta so I of course made sure to stop by while exploring the International Marketplace in Waikiki. It's a bit smaller than I imagined it would be but it has the essentials. I was more interested in the prepared foods (aka the sandos, bentos and sushi) than the grocery section but it was still nice to see the selection of Japanese snacks and such. I loved the egg sandwich that i picked up for a quick and easy lunch. There is also a small food court in the back that now houses a small (but well known) Go Go Curry that used to be a Modo mochi donut shop when I visited in 2022. I loved Modo so it's sad to see they didn't make it - hope Go Go Curry does better - it seemed very busy when we were shopping. If you need Japanese snacks and goods quick, Mitsuwa would be your best bet!

Stationery and cosmetics corner by the front door

SELECTION -- Surprisingly carries many Japanese and Korean cosmetic brands that are popular on Tiktok (rom&nd, KISSME HEROINE, Peripera, etc). There's at least one aisle that's dedicated to cosmetics (makeup and skincare). I was kind of expecting more from this shop. I wish they had a bigger tea selection. SERVICE -- They offer a small discount when you show them a Hawaii state ID. Cashiers are friendly and efficient. AMBIANCE -- I find that the shop is very grey in hues. It feels a bit dull tbh.

Wonderful place for a quick meals . The seating area is nicely decorated with AC . Ramen Taiga and Go!Go ! CURRY are inside plus a Omusubi shop for many different kinds of food . Mitsuwa market has its own cooked food like grilled mackerel fish , sushi & sashimi, boiled octopus, oyster roll , salmon , octopus salad , sandwiches, desserts . There is a microwave inside the food court . You can heat up the food if you like . All the food items are very fresh , delicious and prices are very reasonable compared to other places . Highly recommended!

Do they offer validated parking?

Parking The parking garage is open 24hrs, daily. Restricted overnight parking. Please see the parking… 

Are the mochi donuts gluten-free? I know some contain cake flour or wheat flour in addition to the sweet rice flour. Are these made only with rice flour?

They are not gluten free. I have Celiac and asked the woman working the counter on 3/6/2022 and she said that it is a mixture of rice and wheat flours in their mochi donuts.

There is walk-ins but I wouldn't risk it The food was incredibly fresh. As it goes without saying, when you're in Hawaii you're as close to eating the freshest seafood as you can without being in Japan. We both ended up getting their Signature Negitoro Bowl but the Tokujo version which has Salmon Roe + Snow Crab + Uni and added a fresh Yolk Soy Sauce. Because why not have the Lamborghini of Negitoro bowls while you're visiting here. Along with that I ended up with a half sized udon miso soup and my wife a crab miso soup. As you can see in the pictures the food came out looking just like it did on the menu, no false advertising there. The egg soy sauce was a perfect creaminess that complimented the saltiness of the Uni and Salmon Roe. Once you mix everything together there's even added house made soy sauce on the side of your want more saltiness back but add some yuzu ginger with each bite and you get that perfect blend of flavor. There's fish was insanely fresh and had zero fishy smell or taste. The rice underneath was cooked well and the side squares of nori was perfect to make our own hand rolls. There's no alcohol served but they allow you walk 15 steps outside to the nearby convenience store where they have the cutest little dog and bring in your own beer or sake. There's miso soup was good and warms you up, but will say the corner we sat on had the AC blasting (which we're not complaining) but it did cool down our soups a little faster than we could enjoy so in the end my wife's crab miso did get a little salty. But overall the food was amazing, service was friendly and vibes were warm. Absolutely will come back the next time we're in Oahu.

They only have about 20 orders available daily, so we always make sure to make early reservations for dinner. It's a small place, so seating can be limited, and although they do take walk ins, you really should make a reservation. Free validated parking is available next door in the parking garage beneath the Bank of Hawaii building. I really like how light and crispy their tonkatsu is here. And the Kurobota katsu just melts in your mouth! If they don't have that available their Bairin Pork Tenderloin Katsu is always excellent too! My girlfriend also likes their Katsu-Dons. Sets come with free refills of rice, miso soup, cabbage, and pickles. Last night they also had several new wagyu additions to the menu that we haven't seen before, along with a wagyu beef nigiri that we had to try and thoroughly enjoyed. Service here is fast and very friendly! We have always enjoyed coming here and the staff take great care of their customers. They also offer a Kamaaina discount for locals with a Hawaii ID, which is really fantastic for people like us who live here and enjoy this place!

Best believe I would not be late. Food: Shrimp Tempura: 5/5 - I think this is the best shrimp I've had, ever. The tempura was fried to quintessential perfection. Seasoned, light, not greasy and a decent size? My god Experience: 5/5 I'm calling this experience because they do something different here which is you get to grind your sesame with mortar and pestle to create your sauce which I think is a genius interactive element that not only adds to food knowledge but also makes you present. You are partially eating what you create and I like that immersiveness. Part of what also makes it cool is the open kitchen concept. Being seated in the middle of the bar i was able to watch the chefs' process from start to finish which is always such fun to see. Otherwise the service was really good! Ambiance It was what I would call an elevated casual. Not too loud or feeling like you need to be very quiet. I think the price was fair for what I got and all its fixings but its definitely not cheap. With that being said though I do think its extremely worth it if you can get a seat!
