Best shopping experience for me in Tijuana. Looked up shops on Yelp and this was the first listed…read more Luckily it was only a few steps from where we were. The gentleman speaks fluent English. He says he enjoys when the vendors come and he adds to his inventory. He has wood, glass, silver and more from all over Mexico. So many beautiful quality items. I could shop to my heart's content. I bought bracelets, a money clip for hubs, earrings & hair clip for my granddaughter, a simple ring for Doc, a nativity scene with individual pieces. There were gorgeous stained glass but how to carry it back to Hawaii? I also bought colorful glass hummingbirds for our Christmas tree. The owner wrapped each piece in bubble wrap or individual bags and packed them in 2 compact boxes. It was very easy to pack in one of my carry on size suitcases. I would definitely recommend this shop. He told us which section was silver plated and which was pure silver.

They only had a few oolongs so I chose the magnolia oolong. Looked fresh and smelled really nice! They are not usually open on Sundays, but today they had an event so they were open. Lucky me!! I have to shout out the extremely kind service - I asked if they had any pens for sale and the sweet lady working there just gave me her pen. So unnecessary but so appreciated, she saved me! I will definitely come back and have a cup of tea here. She also answered all of my annoying questions lol. Thanks so much for your kindness today!!

Vitreum Giftware is a small and charming gift shop located in Little Italy in San Diego…read more [Parking]: Street parking only and parking in Little Italy can be difficult. I got lucky and found metered parking near Camden Tuscany Apartments approximately three blocks away. Apparently there is also a Little Italy Parking Garage at 715 W Cedar St with a $5 per hour rate. [Merchandise]: This is probably one of the very few Japanese specialty gift shops in San Diego with a small section on Japanese stationery. Other items include tableware (plates, bowls, ceramic, and porcelain pieces), drinkware (mugs, glasses, teacups, and teapots), vases, plants, terrariums, and other cute Japanese trinkets / decor. [Conclusion]: This is one of the best Japanese giftware shops I have seen in San Diego; otherwise you will have to drive to Los Angeles for similar gift shops. Come here for a curated selection of Japanese gifts.

The most adorable Japanese trinket and homeware shop!…read more Unfortunately, they don't allow pictures inside, so you're just going to have to trust me on this one. Located in Downtown, it can be a bit of a pain to get to with all the parking and such, but it's totally worth it! Walking inside, I was immediately overwhelmed with the need to buy everything. There were gorgeous dishware, homeware, jewelry, stationery, incense, and more! If you're just getting into matcha, this is also a great place to start. They've got all your essentials, a good selection of matcha, and the cutest chawans! Best part is that everything is quite reasonable in price for the quality that you get. Do stop by the next time you're in the mood to peruse!

I had so much fun exploring Tokyo Central & Main! What makes this place unique is that it's…read moreactually made up of three separate stores--two grocery markets and one dedicated to merchandise featuring everything from adorable Japanese plushies and cookware to cosmetics, electronics, and so much more. And yes...I had to explore all three! Both markets were bright, clean, and incredibly well organized. One of my favorite sections was the tea aisle. As someone who absolutely loves tea, I was in heaven. Their selection is huge, with everything from loose-leaf teas to powdered varieties that you don't typically find in traditional American grocery stores. I'll definitely be back to stock up on a few new favorites. I originally stopped in to purchase a matcha whisk set, but it was a little more than I wanted to spend. That didn't stop me from finding a few treasures, though! I ended up browsing the cookware section and picked up a beautifully designed set of reusable chopsticks along with beginner-friendly M-shaped training chopsticks. One unexpected highlight was getting to try a hand massage machine. It applies pressure to acupuncture points throughout your hand, and wow--it felt amazing! I'm seriously considering going back just to buy one. The produce section also looked fresh and inviting, so I can definitely see myself returning to shop for groceries. Plus, since my sons love anime, I already know they'll enjoy checking out the merchandise store with all the fun Japanese collectibles and character items. Whether you're looking for authentic Japanese groceries, unique kitchenware, specialty teas, or fun gifts, Tokyo Central & Main is absolutely worth visiting. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping by--you'll probably leave with more than you planned, just like I did! And you already know you can always thank me later
