Asian Supermarket — Local services in Pleasantville

My go-to joint for persimmons, mangoes, dragonfruit, miso, gochujang, sweet red bean paste 팥소, mochi, soba, squid, bok Choi, and sweet Thai chili. Honestly, my ONLY joint for all things Asian. Ain't gettin' none of that anywhere else around here. Reminds me of the street markets in Korea. And there's a great noodle house in the back. I have something else for you... I fell in love with Korea when I was stationed there... the people, the music, the land. And the food. Sweet red bean paste was at the center of that whirlwind love affair that lasted only one year. Then my heart was broken. Let's learn about "sweet red bean paste." I would always say, "Dan Pat." Korean, pat (팥, Vigna angularis) contrasts with kong (콩, "bean"), rather than being considered a type of it. Kong ("beans") without qualifiers usually means soybeans.

Plus, for many of the items there is simply no price posted. You sort of have to guess what some stuff costs based on similar items shelved nearby. I suppose that's part of the fun of shopping there: exploring the store, discovering food items you've never heard of and have no idea what they're for, trying vegetables you've never seen before....
