Hashi Market opened in the NYU-Greenwich area earlier this year. the store is a Japanese-owned super market / cafe/ mini retail spot selling a variety of prepared foods (onigiri, bento meals, katsu's, musubis, sushi, sashimi, etc), grocery (produce, ingredients, etc) items from Japan, some household items, and a Fujiissa counter (serving matcha drinks, soft serve, and more) by the main entrance. it's a massive space, neatly arranged with brightly aisles that is super clean and well-maintained. the prepared foods look pretty fresh especially the cooked foods and sushi-sashimi items and really work in a pinch if your day or evening runs late and you don't have time to cook or you are just in the mood for pork katsu or a variety of other Japanese dishes. beyond the frozen as well as produce--there is extensive snack and dessert aisles. most recently, grabbed one of my favorite dessert-y eats: a Matcha Frozen Wafer Sandwich...so good and simple! there is a small seating area towards the front of the interior if you are going to enjoy the prepared foods or cafe items, but it seems it's a very grab-n-go spot as many of the prepared foods are geared for. the busy New Yorker. no shock that this location is in a very NYU-ish area as that seems to be the foot traffic throughout the day who want quick calories to and from classes. this location is also located near Union Square Park, so when the Spring and Summer hits...this is a convenient place to pick up food or drinks and enjoy some al fresco time.
