Maruichi Select — Local services in Stamford

I love this place! It really brings me back to the convenience stores in Japan. They have the most Japanese grocery staples that I've ever seen in CT for great prices, along with other Japanese products you can't find anywhere else. They also have fresh produce like vegetables, Asian fruits (I saw Korean pear and persimmons), and even fresh sashimi (ready to cut and serve, I had some and it was delicious!). They also have Japanese kitchen utensils, and matcha whisks. There are bento boxes, ready to heat and eat ramen, onigiri, sushi, and even Japanese style egg sandwiches, potato salad sandwiches, fruit sando, and other yummy looking sandwiches. There is even a seating area with a microwave to heat up your ramen/bento box. On top of all of this, Anna's donuts serves unique donuts and matcha drinks. I had their coffee which apparently the beans are from Osaka, and it was delicious! If you can't tell, I am absolutely amazed...

I bought this item to be my traditional tea at home in this place on 6/6/2023 today is 6/23/23 and when I went to prepare my tea I saw that I had these things everywhere I went to complain and the person in charge found it What he did was tell me that it was an old item and that he hadn't bought it in the store. The truth is, I don't have to lie, I just went because I spent 26 dollars and at least receive another one to make my tea, but this store It does not accept claims or give returns when there is a consumer law in the United States where they must give at least one ratification for what is purchased in a store but this store is not like that, too bad I loved this store and I will not go anymore. I inform the consumer so that they think about it before buying items...

The only grocery store in downtown Stamford other than Target. Limited selection of fresh produce. Obviously this is a Japanese market with mostly Japanese products, though there are some other Asian products.

We love going here for Japanese foods and snacks we can't get easily elsewhere. They have Calbee brand potato chips (honey butter flavor is amazing), candies like Hi-Chew, mochi, and frozen desserts like waffle ice cream sandwiches.

This location also does a Japanese style of "healthy" doughnut, fresh baked.

Parking is street parking and you almost definitely won't find parking in front of the shop.

FYI this is a smaller outlet of Maruichi, which has a larger grocery store in...
