New Tokyo Food Market — Local services in Phoenix

Hai. "what an awesome feeling drinking a nice, chilled, cold Japanese Beer, during a hot summer heat here in the valley, Arizona". I have encounter some difficulties and problems here, however, nothing to do with my shopping experience. I shouldn't complain, Suzuki Law Firm is somewhat __. I can't complain that Yasha (Nerrik) is holding my mail from me. I can't complain that Japan discontinued selling my favorite caramel chocolate (Morinaga) because Amazon carrys it. I shouldn't have to call the police when I got my bike stolen upfront because it was so quick, I wished it was a ninja. :-) The list goes on and on. But, I would like to Compliment the staff/employee for an outstanding, beyond Excellent customer service. More than a Humble attitude.! Sanku so much family for everything your doing. I'm sorry for being a patgun ma'...

Authentic Japanese grocery store. Inside, not only do they have a wide variety of groceries, but all sorts of books, magazines, dvd's, cooking books, imported Asian alcohols, apparel, and kitchenware as well. Of course all of them being Japanese or Japanese themed. The staff there speak Japanese as well so good to go there for if you possibly are learning and want speaking (asking if they have x or y) or listening practice. The books also range in difficulty levels, like children's picture books to elementary/middle school level books to what's expected of a fluent reader.

Instead of calling it just a food market, it offers a very real slice of Japanese culture inside. Very nice to not just get your Japanese cuisine on, but also to get a slight taste of our overseas...

If you are interested in cooking Japanese food and need authentic ingredients, this is the place to go. I go nearly every week to look at their wide range of miso, pickled vegetables, tofu, fish cakes, and seaweed. They also have wonderful Japanese comfort foods and sweets. Occasionally you can find fresh enoki mushrooms or shiso, but they always seem to have goyo (burdock) and Japanese yams.

If you like Japanese stationary or kitchen ware (dishes and unique Japanese cooking tools), they have that too along with some great books.

Of course you will get wonderful service and kindness that you don’t normally get at grocery stores. The women who run this place are friendly and always smiling. It’s a highlight of my week and I always look forward to...
