One of the loveliest Japanese stores we’ve been to here in LA! We stopped by to buy some snacks for the ride back home and after glancing through the aisles and displays, Marukai Market clearly has a lot to offer. There’s a wide selection of packaged snacks, onigiri, sushi, baked goods, desserts, cooking ingredients, produce, and general kitchen-ware like plates, bowls or pots. To our surprise they even have plushies, toys, and figurines! Just about everything you need or want from an asian market, Marukai has. I was also very happy to see both tourists and locals buying goods from here. I love seeing a well-visited store and this market is definitely well loved by it’s community. We will definitely be coming back to visit whenever we find ourselves in Little Tokyo 🤍

Notes:
- Self-checkout is available
