I realized my first review of this company was back in 2015 and in reality, I've been ordering our…read moresoy sauce from them on a regular basis since then! We are addicted and will only use the Ohsawa Nama Shoyu, which is an organic and unpasteurized soy sauce from Japan. Our Whole Foods used to carry it and now they don't and I've looked at some of the local Asian markets but cannot find it so we order from Gold Mine. In all of the years I've been ordering, I have only had one misstep with an order. It was during COVID and I typically order the 32oz bottle which will last us for about 4-5 months. What came that time were two small bottles and I had a bit of a challenge getting in touch with them during that time. Once I was able to talk to someone, they were quick to rectify the situation and they shipped out the big bottle. The shipping is always great with the bottles being bubbled wrapped and then wrapped in thick shipping paper to secure the bottle and get it unbroken to the destination. It also has only taken about 4-5 days from order to arrival. Wanted to give Gold Mine an updated shout out!!! We are customers for life!

Kosher. Gluten-free. Vegan. Raw. Organic. Macrobiotic !!! A health nuts dream come true !! I LOVE…read morethis place ! ABOUT: From their website: "Gold Mine Natural Food Company is a family run, San Diego local small business. We sell high quality, organic, macrobiotic, vegan, gluten-free, raw, kosher and specialty Japanese products. In house we produce organic, raw, unpasteurized sauerkraut by hand in small batches. Gold Mine was founded with the intention of sharing the healing power of food." Most importantly, they have a great history on how they got started. It's a business that started in 1985 on a $300 loan ! You can find their products at most local health food stores nowadays like Jimbo's and Sprouts. They are known for their Ohsawa Organic Nama Shoyu and organic, raw sauerkraut ! Both of which I've had in the past ! Their other best sellers include: GF Kelp noodles, green pea chips, and mung bean chips Check out their website for online products, recipes, events, cooking classes/demos, etc.: http://shop.goldminenaturalfoods.com/ EVENT DETAILS: I was fortunate to go to an event here: Vegan Oktoberfest Benefit for Vegetarian Educational Institute (VEI). VEI is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating people about the health benefits of a vegan/macrobiotic lifestyle. I'm all about supporting businesses that teach the public about better health and nutrition. Food is thy medicine and this place is all about that. KUDOS to them ! Located in the heart of Poway (not too far from home WOOHOO!) and they have a large manufacturing facility that distributes traditional macrobiotic foods and other organic products such as heirloom quality grains, beans, and seeds. They also host classes, event parties, and cooking demos here ! Parking was plentiful on a Saturday evening. Indoor/outdoor set-up. Everything was SPOOKtacularly decorated. The indoor space had a large seating area and a bar with stools. What can I say ? Awesome event ! They celebrated the launch of their new GOLDEN KRAUT !! I'm a sucker for kraut and I was krauted out after this night ! They offered all you can eat FREE BARBEQUE ! We enjoyed vegan frankfurters with Gold Mine Sauerkraut and Kimchi, cucumber salad, potato salad, Maya's Cookies (BOMB.com), and other goodies ! They also had unlimited Green Flash Beer for $10 ! Everything was DEEE-LICIOUS !!! The potato salad was addicting ! I couldn't get enough of it ! The sauerkraut and kimchi were plentiful and more than enough ! I was overwhelmed and as an Asian chick I'm a sucker for fermented foods. The cucumber salad was very refreshing and was a nice addition to the flavorful, vegan frankfurter that can even fool an omnivore. NOMNOMNOM !!! They also had great raffle prizes from Solti juice, Maya's cookies, shirts, gift sets from Gold Mine Natural Food Co., and vacation getaways !! Super generous of them ! I won a huge box of Maya's cookies ! WOOT !! I've never had these cookies before and after this event, I agree that they are the BEST VEGAN COOKIES in San Diego ! Hopefully, they can expand their products and have them available in most stores. They might have another event coming up next month and I'm already looking forward to it ! I think the theme is vegan tamales !!! Oh yeah ! So glad I discovered this place, because I am now a huge supporter of them !! Keep spreading the LOVE OF FOOD AND HEALING !!!

No. My wife picked up a spicy tuna roll there for her lunch, for $13.99 which is $5.00 more than at any good sushi restaurant around. She ate one piece and could not take another bite. Every once in a while I pick up sushi at the Albertson's in Rancho Bernardo where we live, and pay $9.00- $13.00 depending on the roll and it is so much better. I got a turkey and gouda wrap for $13.98 and it was soggy and tasteless. Only thing I could taste was the sprouts in the wrap. Funny thing is the guacamole is the same price as a whole lemon pepper rotisserie chicken at Jimbo's. Having that chicken tonight for dinner, but not worried about that as I have a backup plan in case that is not good. This was my first and last time going to Jimbo's. Both my wife and myself are totally disappointed with our experience. Sorry Jimbo's but just speaking from our stomachs.

Of course don't forget to bring a quarter for the carts, but if you do; you can always ask a friendly cashier for one. We found everything throughout the store, we are finally getting used to the newer layout. The store was well organized as usual. The staff were busy handling customers and restocking shelves, but doing so with a smile. We will continue to frequent this location. Keep it up Aldis!

I love going to supermarkets and especially ones that I am not familiar with and like to explore and discover new things to try. This market is fairly small and it had basically two aisles but its filled from floor to ceiling with Russian and Eastern European goods. The front deli case has all the smoked fish you want and also plenty of different kinds of sausages too. And since its the holidays, there are also plenty of fun chocolates and gift items! I chose to buy some rusk bread crisps (salmon and cheese flavored) and Russian style egg salad. Both were good! I didnt know what to expect with Russian style egg salad as it has cheese and fresh garlic in it, so I was a little worried if I didnt like it, but good thing is that I definitely liked it and can definitely pair them with some Carr crackers as a snack! Almost everyone in here was speaking Russian and I definitely felt like a weirdo in there but everyone was nice to me and welcoming. My only gripe is that the rusk crisp was labeled as $1.99 and I was charged $2.50. Id come back here again and try other things too next time.
