“ Great grab and go Japanese market with a variety of onigiri, bento boxes, and tons of other hot foods to choose from. This spot is very convenient for those who want a quick meal that's already prepackaged. Food is best eaten right away to prevent food from getting soggy/not as crispy. Onigiri's are pretty hefty which is a plus! ”
“ Really good place to get some Japanese food at solid price points! The pro tip is to come after 7 pm, everything is 25% off and it's great for dinner. They keep everything either heated or refrigerated at the right temperature so you don't have to worry about things going bad. Everything from sushi to sashimi to bento boxes to cheesecake is available. ”
“ The vibes here are super fun, a lot of grab and go options, as well as Japan merch that has a rotating stock. Overall solid onigiri selections, a good variety of fish and non-fish options. The beef yakiniku onigiri is super flavorful and has an excellent beef, sauce, and rice ratio. It's something I always look forward to when visiting and it's not sweet at all. ”
“ Good value for the onigiris - they were pretty tasty and filled with rice! The eel had a couple of sharp bones upon first bite, but the rest of it didn't have any bones. The beef kimbap is best consumed within the hours after purchasing and were very filling. What surprised me is that the onigiris were quite wet - think it's some sort of soy miso sauce glaze on most of them. Parking can be kind of hectic during busy hours as this plaza seems to be busy. If you need a restroom, Mitsuwa has a free bathroom that doesn't require a key. Service was good, the people ringing up our order were polite. ”
“ This is one of my favorite finds in Japantown San Jose. There's a great to go session each time. It's always best to go before the dinner time because the later you go, the less options you might have. My favorite is the table with the different shrimp hand rolls or onigiri. The gimbap is very filling and has lots of food. The California roll is filled with large amount of crab. The fried section is really delicious especially the potato croquette and seafood tempura. A great selection when you want to drop by to grab lunch or dinner. ”
“ I love this shop! It's right next to Mitsuwa Market place so I always pick up some snacks or lunch after grocery shopping in this area. Parking can get really filled up on the weekends so I would go on a weekday if possible! The service is very fast here since it's more of a stop, shop, and go. They don't offer seats to eat inside so I usually eat my lunch or snack in the car. It's a really clean and cute shop. The food is labeled and sorted very nicely for the customers! My go to is definitely their mentaj cold noodles. One is definitely enough for a light lunch but as you can see... I pick up as many as I can get my hands on. They are so GOOD, and for $7 it's not too bad. ”
“ I was craving okonomiyaki and found Fugetsu market online. We came here on a Friday evening and there were limited options. Due to the timing, the items we got were not as fresh and the okonomiyaki was a bit salty for me. The staff were helpful and friendly. I would come back to try other items. They have various to go Japanese food and desserts. It's in a plaza with many Japanese restaurants and market. ”
“ I keep coming back here in recent weeks to grab a quick bite to eat as needed. Some of my recent favorites include the spice curry bowl, bulgogi kimbap, and seafood yaki soba. They have a great variety so you are sure to find something, but towards the early evening the pickings do get a bit bare ”
“ Nice bento box restaurant with a variety of Japanese food options. I've tried: - yakisoba - pretty good. - shalala bento box - contained pork katsu, beef, imitation crab salad, and a shrimp tempura with tartar sauce. The katsu was dry and texture was a bit hard, everything else was alright. - unagi meshi - not bad - okonomiyaki bento box - okonomiyaki was a bit dry and tasteless aside from the sauce on top, the tomato/ketchup rice is alright, takoyaki is ok too. - salmon sushi box - salmon wasn't fishy at all, fatty and quite good! They put the bento boxes under a heat lamp, but the food wasn't as warm as I thought it would be. Overall it's a quick and convenient meal. Bear in mind these aren't exactly fresh off the stove and doesn't taste as good as if you ordered at a restaurant. Near closing time, some of their food items (both sushi and hot foods) are discounted 25% off! They also sell a bunch of cute items in the store. ”
