Looking for snacks, sake, ramen, pasta, curry, drinks, treats, and household gadgets "Made in Japan"? Then you must check out Nakata Market of Japan. If you might also be looking for Portuguese sausage, they have that, too!
A quick google search for "Japanese Supermarkets in Las Vegas" will show three stores containing "Japan" in its name: Nakata Market of Japan, Japan Creek Market, and Japan Mini Mart. There are a lot of Japanese eateries in Sin City, but surprisingly, a very small % of Japanese people in Las Vegas. Therefore, the reason why there are only a few Japanese markets here. Maybe one day, something like Mitsuwa will find a home in Vegas, but until then, Nakata Market of Japan should suit your needs.
This particular location is actually their 2nd store! It just celebrated its Grand Opening late December 2020, and is open daily from 10:00am to 7:00pm. On my first visit I picked up some Pickled Scallions (Rakkyo), a Frozen Wafer Matcha Sandwich, Kewpie Mayonaise, Yuzu & Black Pepper flavored Shrimp Chips, Spicy Ramen, Creamy Melon Sodas and other favorite beverages that I used to buy from the hot/cold vending machines in Japan, and DAISO brand Sponges (cool find!)!
The store reminds me somewhat of a Konbini (convenience store) sans the large display of ready to serve hot and chilled foods to-go. There is a small corner of quick bites such as sushi, hopefully this will become a larger selection in the future!
Welcome to the neighborhood, Nakata Market! Happy to have you nearby. \(0,0)/
