Gohan Market is a gem in the suburbs! It's a great place to stock up on frozen items, Ito en tea, and Japanese curry blocks but the highlight is the prepared foods section.
Regular offerings include onigiri, egg salad & chicken katsu sandos, and rice bowls. On certain days, you can also find the ever so aesthetic fruit sando and sushi. Sushiro sometimes does a pop-up for assorted fresh sushi! I picked up a lunch tray assortment of 10 different nigiri for less than $20. The Sushiro sushi chef was even there to say hi.
The prepared food fridge often has 50% off sandos and onigiri that did not sell the previous day. The rice is notably harder, so it needs to warm to room temp before consumption. Great option if you're picking up food to eat later.
Staff are friendly, and one day I will muster the courage to practice the few Japanese words that I know.
Pros: prepared foods (onigiri, sukiyaki beef bowl, hot noodles, sandos), friendly staff
Cons: restroom could be cleaner
