An amazing video by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt where he explains how to shop for Japanese groceries plus Bonus Gyudon!

Kenji did a great video walking around Uwajimaya explaining the different varieties of common Japanese ingredients and what he recommends getting. I’d say anyone looking to dip their toes or season experts of Japanese cooking will find some good info here.

Man I wish Kenji would move from the old place to here. I miss him dropping into the comments sections.

Drusas ,

I don't know why, but mushrooms in particular have been obscenely expensive at Uwajimaya for the last couple years. Go anywhere else for them.

I grew up in small towns and moved to Seattle a few years ago. I’m still not used to seeing things on the Internet and being like “I go there, I know that place!”

I used to live above Uwajimaya. Feels weird seeing it here for sure.
