The orange is kind of bitter to my liking but still pretty unique to try it out! Today I saw they got a new type of Ito En Oi Ocha lemon green tea for sale! There was only one bottle left in the fridge and I got it to try it out! It said 0 grams of added sugar and when I tried it, the green tea was not even sweet at all. It did not really taste like your average lemon tea like Brisk Iced tea. The lemon was so subtle that you could barely even taste any lemon. I mostly tasted the green tea instead. It had a weird taste in my opinion. I thought I tried it out but I don't think I would be getting this in the future. I will just stick to the green tea, jasmine tea, oolong tea, and cold brew matcha tea from Ito En! The best thing about Teso Mini is that it sells the Ito En green tea bottles for $1.99 each! Other places cost more than that so I'm very thankful Teso Mini has Ito En at a cheaper price!

That being said, they def lean more into prepared, ready-to-eat and packaged foods of a typical convenience store in Japan, which makes sense for this foot traffic heavy location. They have a pretty decent selection of sushi maki rolls and nigiri, packaged desserts, hot bentos and bowls (pork katsu and gyudon), onigiri and chilled drinks. The produce they carry comes smaller bunches and packaged in plastic, they don't carry fresh meat or dairy though there are some of these items in the frozen section. Snacks, ramen, dry foods and condiments they have plenty of, as well as a small selection of bath/beauty and cute stickers and socks in the back. On this hot and humid day, I stopped in for a drink--grabbed a chilled oolong tea--and will be back to pick up some sushi rolls at some point I'm sure! Staff interaction was brief though friendly at the checkout counter.

The discount makes it a really good value, especially if you're willing to go later in the evening and see what's left. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking to grab some Japanese food or groceries without spending a ton. The market is on the smaller side but had everything you'd expect. There wasn't AC, though, and it was a bit warm inside. There isn't a place to eat, so you need to take it to go. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Also saw fresh sushi bar in rear of store. If I wasn't going out to dinner would have tried sushi. Guess next time. It's self help and cashier was very nice.

While quite a small outpost, I'm glad that a spot like this exists at Chelsea Market! Whereas the upstairs store shelves a plethora of Asian and Asian-inspired decor, handicrafts, furniture and housewares, the downstairs counterpart is like if a grocery and a food court had a small child. I'm not sure how they managed to fit 4 different food vendors along one side of the wall--kinda blows my mind--Mao's Baos, Kimbap Lab, Tea&Milk, and Pearl River Mart Little Eats. I'll be honest I haven't tried the kimbap or baos mostly because I'm not used to paying quite so much for them, though to be fair for the location it's not out of reason considering a single slice of pizza upstairs at Filaga is like $9.** As for the grocery itself, while they're slightly more pricey than other Chinatown groceries that might carry some of the same products, for the exposure and location, again it's pretty reasonable. They carry a mix of food and condiments from different Asian cultures too--for the most part Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Malaysian, Thai, and some Asian American items*. *these may have origins in traditional Asian cuisine with an American or Western influence that makes it different or maybe more understandable or palatable to non-Asian culture, or truly straight up Asian foods that are branded in English. **let's not even get into the convo of why certain cultures' cuisines are considered "fancier" or affixed a higher perceived $ value than others. Sometimes I need to remind myself of this subtle internal prejudice when ascertaining whether it's worthwhile to purchase a food or product.

I've always enjoyed walking around Muji stores and looking around the store, but this is the first time I visited Muji Food Market. Muji Food Market features a unique selection of food and drinks. The menu includes Japanese comfort foods such as onigiri (rice balls), miso soup, sandwiches, handcrafted specialty beverages, and more. There is a self-ordering kiosk or you can order with the cashier. Since the self-ordering kiosk was busy, I went to the cashier and ordered an Iced Matcha Strawberry Latte ($10.00) and Shrimp Tempura Onigiri ($7.95). After I ordered, I was given a number and waited in the area. There are a few countertop seats and an island where you can stand and eat. It took only a few minutes for my order to be ready. I took my order to go, but some people were eating there. The staff were very friendly. The Shrimp Tempura Onigiri was wrapped with nori and finished with a sweet-savory sauce. I really enjoyed the combination of crispy shrimp, flavorful sauce, and seasoned rice. I wish there was more of the fried shrimp tempura. Sometimes with onigiri's, the rice can be bland but this was very tasty. The Iced Matcha Strawberry Latte was also very good and was a great balance of vibrant green tea and fruity sweetness. I would definitely come back to Muji Food Market to try some of their other items.

I've also been wanting to check out Muji Café since it's the only one in the US (? Or first at least). The whole Muji was smaller than I expected. The café part was also smaller than expected too, but good thing is that it's quite empty. There was only one customer there. With bench seating, bench standing, and a bar table, it could fit 15-20 people. They have two kiosks you can order from - my favorite. I won't say that the food was exceptionally good or cheap but it was exactly what I needed for a pick me up. I ordered: matcha latte, yuzu salmon onigiri, sweet potato dorayaki. Matcha latte had nice color on top and they bothered to do latte art despite providing the drink with a lid on already. Taste was normal basic as what I would expect from a generic café. 50% sweetness was mild enough for me. Yuzu salmon onigiri was the star of the show. I like how they prepare it fresh, so it took the longest to come out and was piping hot when it did. Yuzu was mostly a dollop of savory "jam" at the top. I can't really tell if they added yuzu to the salmon marinade too. I appreciate how the salmon inside was given in small fillets rather than mashed. It was juicy and tender and flavorful, not too salty not too sweet. Loved the rice texture for being chewy and fluffy. I immediately felt energized after eating it. Sweet potato dorayaki was yummy too, but it was a contrast from the cozy onigiri. Forgot if the menu stated this was prepared fresh or not, but I didn't notice they had it prepackaged on the counter already. I might've not ordered it if I realized earlier. However I still enjoyed it. The pancakes were fluffy while also tasting rich from the unmelted butter layer without feeling heavy. The sweet potato was sweet but didn't feel artificial. It also came with a layer of red bean paste which was a pleasant surprise too. Having so many elements in the dorayaki wasn't messy or overwhelming. I only wish it was warm too.
