"This venerable market opened its doors in suburban Arlington Heights in 1991, quickly garnering a reputation as one of the top Japanese food emporiums in the Midwest. The grocery section is a true delight for home cooks, but there are plenty of grab-and-go items like onigiri and a diverse food court with everything from Japanese crepes and bubble tea to yakitori and udon. The whole mall underwent a massive facelift in 2019." - Eater Staff
"Chicago’s premiere Japanese market is actually tucked away in suburban Arlington Heights, where legions of longtime fans beat a path to shop for produce and Asian packaged goods. It also houses Pastry House Hippo, a bakery packed with delectable Japanese pastries, an outpost of the confectionary brand J. Sweets, and a bustling food court with stalls featuring sugary Japanese-style crepes, ramen, udon, donburi, and more." - Naomi Waxman

"Located in Arlington Heights, Mitsuwa Marketplace is a Japanese grocery chain that offers a wide range of groceries along with things like cosmetics, appliances, and pretty much anything else you can imagine. It’s a bit of a trek if you live in the city, so be sure to get some sushi, sashimi, or travel-friendly bento boxes for the long journey home. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
