One hour trip to Japan

Remember I posted about the Latin Grocery?(here)

Well, today daughter 2 and I traveled to Japan. 

We were looking for unusual Asian fruit (yeah I am weird that way) and just like the adventure of looking in foreign grocery stores and markets I guess. Went to one I'd been to before, sort of a pacific-Asian / Filipino place, with seafood, all sorts of strange frozen confections, including "Cheese" Ice Cream- think I'll pass on that one!

Lovely packaging for simple udon noodles
Here, we hit the mother lode. It's a Japanese grocery store called Marukai, and honestly, I could have happily stayed there all day roaming the aisles...here are just some of the great finds we uncovered:
The pommelo, some noodles, and some greens.

A set of three for 1.59!

Mochi buns from Japan

The packaging is so pretty!


Beautiful Sake bottles

Baby Octopus





Heretofore mentioned Pizza Crackers
Giant Taro 2 lbs for a dollar!

If you are in SoCal, visit Marukai here
Make it a Great Day!
