Mitsuwa LA Northridge: Your Gateway to Authentic Japanese & Asian Groceries

Food: this is a fantastic market, where you can get your Japanese fixings. The vegetables and meat are fresh, and they also sell prepackaged meals, like sushi or curry. Parking: the market is located in a major shopping plaza so finding a parking spot shouldn’t be an issue. However, some spots are narrow. Tips: the premade food is nicely packaged and they offer a wide variety of meals. You can also get your instant ramen noodles in the noodle isle.

Hidden gem in Northridge! Great selection of Japanese grocery items. Their pre-packed food section is amazing! So much to choose from. There's poke bowls, salmon bowls, nigiri sushi combinations. All are so good, fresh and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Mitsuwa is a wonderful international Japanese grocery store where you can find authentic items straight from Japan. While I haven’t had the chance to visit Japan yet, this store is as close as I can get for now. I came specifically looking for some instant miso soup packets, and even though I accidentally picked the wrong ones, the staff was incredibly helpful in explaining the differences and assisting me with the exchange. They also have a small produce section, along with a variety of meats like chicken, beef, fish, and more. I took some time to explore their ready-to-go meals, which include sushi, poke, bento boxes, and so much more. This was my first visit, and I’m excited to dive into all the new goodies I brought home!

The assorted 3-kind shashim with condiment and garnish at $14.99 is very fresh. Each piece has no any leftover that can't be eat. The quality of the fishes is very high, sometimes, an upscale Japanese restaurant may not match.

My friends and I stopped by this Asian market because he wanted some Japanese mayo. I never knew that there was an Asian market in this plaza so I was interested to see what they have inside. They have some nice cookies and chocolate selection that will be great for holiday gifts. They also have some meat, ramen, candy and much more. They had boba ice cream here and also fresh soft serve ice cream. The store is not that big but they have a lot of stuff. They even have hot food and ready to go sushi for you as well. There are check out station or you can go to the typical cashier line.

Finally a Japanese market in the 818. Mitsuwa made a good choice. Pros: They are local and carry most of the foods we like. Cons: We came at 10:30am and the prepared foods were not even on the shelf. They had the Sushi and Sashimi items I wanted but not what my Japanese wife wanted. They I am sure will get it the problem figured out. A lot of the shelving was not kept in order and a lot even empty. The market itself seems like not much effort (money) was put into Display like other Mitsuwa locations which are brilliant! It just just bare bones at this point. All in all I am not going to discount the fact that at the very least we have a decent option in SFV.

I have wanted to stop here when going to 85 degrees Bakery located in the same shopping center. This market is small, yet mightily packed with goodies! Plenty of ready to eat meals, snacks, sushi and desserts! The cold drink sections do not disappoint!! So many flavors & the most adorable packaging in sodas, coffees & various drinks. We always stop in for Onigiri & specialty beverages! We always eat one in the car and take extra home for a nice meal They have a whole section of Creme Hello Kitty & Friends beauty items and plenty of savory and sweet treats. I spent way too much money here. Enjoy!

It's a scaled down version of their regular sized Japanese Market. Yet it has all the essentials. Including a small selection of fresh produce, refrigerated section, fresh meat, frozen section, dry & packaged foods, and more. They also have ready to eat foods, including rice balls (Onigiri). The prices on most items are more expensive than you might find elsewhere. But, that's to be expected in a smaller store. However, there are some good deals to be found. The prices for Japanese pickles (tsukemono) were very reasonable. And, a Japanese favorite, frozen Gyoza was selling at a fantastic price. If you shop around there are quite a few good deals to be found. The ready to eat foods look delicious. And, so do the rice balls, which I've had. They're a great snack to have on the go.
