If you've ever been to a convenience store or grocery store in Japan and enjoyed the experience, have I got a place for you. Nippon Daido literally translated means "Japanese Store" and for a Nippon-file it's like stepping into a Japanese convenience store without the 12 hour flight or packing a bag.
They seem to have everything from staples in Japanese cooking like miso, panko, nori and high grades of soy sauce and rice to a selection of sakes and Japanese snack foods. There is a small but decent selection of videos for rent from feature films to animation. My favorite features have to be their selection of sashimi grade seafood and the kitchen which produces bentos daily. The menu varies from Tonkatsu pork & beefbowl to teriyaki eel over rice and Japanese style fried chicken and OF COURSE sushi all lovingly prepared by adorable Japanese grandmothers. The only thing I can honestly say I HATE about this place is that I live so FAR FROM IT! Whenever I'm near I HAVE to drop in. I LOVE this place!

I really liked going to this little store and almost missed it since it is well hiddend behind another building. It is a small shop but if there is something japanese or from japan that you want then that store is your best bet. I bought some mochi and a japanese school note book for my japanese class. They had many other intersting things like bento boxes and house hold good from japan. I whole heartedly recomend them.
