This little store is purely Japanese as opposed to pan Asian like Grand Asia Market. They have a good selection (mostly dry goods, but some fresh items) and a few things you can't get at GAM. I like helping to support this store which seems to be heavily immersed in preserving Japanese culture in the Triangle. That said, they could work on their service and this is why they get 3 as opposed to 5 stars. I don't know if it's because I'm visibly not Japanese, or because (as another reviewer said) I never spent more than $15 but I've never felt welcome in the store. I chalk it up to cultural differences, and am polite no matter what, but if they want to survive with GAM around the corner they are going to have to work on how they treat customers.

The store has a wide vareity of Japanese foods, which is very good. However, the store clerks there were terrible!!!! They are not friendly at all. If you buy a lot of products, you are fine. If you don't, you will get the worst service ever!!! SO take a lot of money and shop a lot of foods!
