Small, and definitely no Mitsuwa, but considering we don't have a Japanese market in Brooklyn, it's a start.
Sunrise Mart is a welcome site to the borough because there is FINALLY a Japanese market in the area. Yes, the complaints will roll in that it's tiny and not on the level of its competitor in Edgewater, NJ, but this is Brooklyn and that's New Jersey. There's a big difference in how much space can be allotted.
As for what this Sunrise Mart sells? Quite a lot. First, at the very entrance of the small market, there's a seafood bar selling anything from scallops, varieties of fish and even Uni. Once you get by the seafood bar, that's where the real fun begins as customers will notice various snacks, chips, desserts, sweets. Some familiar with Chinese markets will also notice some familiar items that they've seen before as well.
Bottom line, there is quite a bit to look at in this tiny space. Yes, yes, yes, I get it, it's not the biggest market in the world, but it's something and I've always been taught that something is better than nothing. Maybe they'll expand one day and, if they do, there's is a lot of potential considering there is still plenty of empty space in Industry City.
