Great Mitsuwa with many choices of dining options in their food court. Santouka ramen was excellent and also gyutan grill (beef tongue). In addition they also have great mochi with great selections of flavors, double mango, cranberry honey, peach yogurt, caramel macchiato, etc.

Mitsuwa – Not as big as Marukai, but still a great selection of Japanese products. The best part is the food court. They have the best ramen house called Sanoku!! Best ramen I've ever had!

Best selection for Japanese food – Wonderful selection of Japanese items. Plus they have specialty items such as Japanese sandwiches with pork cutlet or potato salad sandwich. They also have musubi (rice balls filled with goodies). Outstanding sake collection. Most likely the best place to get sake in US! They also have a food stand in the market that serves cheap Japanese food plus there is wonderful shops in the mall it is in as well.

Japantown is in Arlington Heights! – Mitsuwa is in the middle of a diffuse Japanese community in the Arlington Heights area. The bulk of the store is a Japanese grocery store and food court.

They have take-out sushi. Sometimes I'll come across a real geek find here-- in the bookstore they were selling region free Toshiba DVD players-- imported, not m... read more

Great parking – Less crowded and with better parking than Nijiya on Sawtelle, Mitsuwa has everything a Japanese market should: good (albeit expensive) produce, authentic prepared foods (try the bento and unagi-don in addition to sushi), and all the goofy snack foods that make convenience stores in Japan so much fun to visit (Men's Pocky is a perennial favorite). There's also a bookstore, food court, and gift boutique.

Amazing!!! – What else can we say about this store? Ever since discovering it about a year ago, we shop there almost every week without fail. We are huge sushi lovers, and we find making it at home is much more enjoyable and economical than eating out. Therefore, our visits to Mitsuwa, with its bountiful selection of sashimi-grade fish and all the sushi accoutrements, are essential to our well-being. This store is fantastic!!!
