Mitsuwa: The Supermarket With A Japanese Twist



Recently, supermarkets have gotten a good face lift. Gone are the stale smell, dull-and-dreary look and wearisome gimmicks. It has all been replaced with a contemporary atmosphere, open-kitchens and even drive-thru services! Moreover, supermarkets are also exploring new waters, stepping onto unfamiliar shores and then gladly bringing their discoveries back to mainland where the American society can bask in all their newfound products.

Take for instance, the Mitsuwa Store.

A Godzilla-sized chain of grocery stores with locations in New Jersey, Illinois and California, Mitsuwa offers anything Japanese, from sushi-grade fish to fermented soy beans, from Japanese electronic gadgets to the trendiest Tokyo fashion. They even have their very own travel agents that would gladly book your next vacation in Osaka! In addition to their countless specialty food products, the depot is also home to several restaurants that serve Japanified American food such as Gabutto Burger or teriyaki slider tucked in between steamy hot rice patties.

Without a doubt, Japanophiles will surely have a grand time in Mitsuwa while the rest of the society will be astonished by their impressive collection of Asian merchandises.
