New Tokyo Food Market, AZ (12)

Anyone been there? It's in AZ. I wanted to know what's it like that's all. Do they have melon bread there? What about Pocky and Green tea?

Any pics?

All they have is a broken daruma doll.

That and a single chopstick.

It's not that new; I remember shopping there 15 years ago. Or, at least a Japanese grocery store in a similar location. Yeah, they have Pocky. Even the ghetto Fry's at 48th Street and Baseline has Pocky.

I used to go there looking for exotic snack foods. I remember Everyburger, which looked like burgers but were actually mediocre cookies. And I remember Super Soda, a gum that I could not tolerate. But that was in the 90s.

It's definitely smaller than a supermarket. I'd say it's about the size of a 7-Eleven, maybe a little larger.

We do have some Asian supermarkets in the valley. There's Lee Lee's in the east valley, and Ranch 99 in the west valley. I think. I haven't been to Ranch 99 in a long time so I don't know if it's still open.

incidentally, the 99 Ranch (as it's called) it within a half mile of the light rail -- the 44th Street stop, specifically.

I went there today, it was awesome, I mean, I rarely see Japanese places in Arizona, when I walked in there, it was just awesome for me. I found a lot of things there I liked, even Melon Bread and Choco-Pan, which were both delicious!!!!!!!!! The staff were nice too!

There's another one about the same size in Tempe, on University & Priest. (I hope it's still open.)

Is there like a really huge Asian or Japanese market with stuff like this. I know that there's a Lam's Super Market, I go there all the time for Indian products for my mom.

Also, anyone know the renting policy for New Tokyo Food Market?

like I said, the big ones are 99 Ranch in Phoenix, and Lee Lee's in the east valley, Mesa I think.
