I know very little about Japanese food, but I scored some exceptionally fresh and delicious mochi chunks from the refrigerator case. Like no mochi I have tasted before. They also have some other fresh Asian baked goods. I look forward to dropping by this place for the occasional pastry treat, and also if I ever get around to trying any Japanese cooking.

Mon Jan 26 21:03:16 -0800 2009 4359491 18011 Jacey 2 4361996 Yes, they have some fresh produce (cabbage, mushrooms,..um, a bunch of stuff I didn't recognize). I did not notice the prices on those, but the tofu was cheaper than what I usually pay at the grocery market. I think it was $1.70. They do have coconut milk for $1.50...not cheap, but not outrageous. This place is definitely not cheap by Asian market standards, but I don't think Japanese markets in general are. They also have very little that is not Japanese. Tue Jan 27 09:42:51 -0800 2009 4360783 74330 hamster 1 4369413 Do they have a fresh meat section?
