Excellent selection of Onigiri (rice balls), assorted Bento Boxes, handmade fresh Sushi, fresh meats, fish, tea, ramen noodles and more! I try to go at least once a month. The sales are unbeatable and the prices reasonable. On a given day they have a whole wall filled with an array of take-away dishes made in-house, all amazing quality and flavor. Their fruit and vegetables include rare and unique Japanese favorites such as gobo root, sugar snap peas and Japanese eggplants. Although the location is small they are very professionally operated and the cashiers are very friendly and cheerful 😊 I get all the things I need to make an amazing bowl of high grade Ramen here as well as Sushi and Takoyaki. The location is not far from Downtown San Jose so its pretty easily accessible and they have good hours. Thank you Nijiya!

Refined and unique yet inexpensive authentic Japanese cuisine I would most certainly recommend. I had the Teriyaki steak/ vegetable tempura Bento, and my girlfriend ordered the Teriyaki chicken dinner, both complete with a salad and miso soup. We also decided on a Soft-shell crab appetizer, not to mention a small sake. The steak flavor alone was enough to write home. The texture of the appetizer was incredible, and the crab was very tasty. All in all, a nicely presented meal with a lot of value! Shogun is a favorite spot, and my go-to for traditional Japanese fare.

I showed up here on a whim looking for a nice take-out spot for a late evening meal with my housemate. I ordered the lamb kabob sandwich and it was not only affordable but filling and incredibly delicious.👌 The service was friendly and speedy. I am most certainly a fan now.

An amazing array of exotic flora which pleases the eye yet sets you at ease in such a peaceful setting. I especially like the Aroma Garden, the visitor is guided into an inticing display of succulents, including agave and cacti with scents, colors and textures, all friendly and inviting. I went with a friend and we enjoyed the serene atmosphere of the New Zealand section, saw a few Alligator lizards, rabbits and birds. Overall it was a fun experience and I will definitely be back to do it again.
