Pacific Mercantile Company

This place is incredible. Wonderfully expansive selection, and friendly employees. I noticed they were out of veggie gyoza for a bit but got them back in stock, which was exciting to see. They also have started carrying a newer, locally made kimchi brand that I have been wanting to try. Easy to get side tracked looking at the wonderful and unique selection of products. Well priced, a returning customer.

Although previously researched on the history of this oldest continuously operating Asian supermarket in Denver (probably also in Colorado or even the United States), seems like never have an in-depth walk through of our very own Pacific Mercantile Company. It has been a staple in the Denver for more than 100 years (if counting the years under N. Tatsukawa) . Besides groceries, the store also is a bazaar of Japanese tableware, cutlery, stationary, decoration and much more. Most groceries are competitively priced compared to larger Asian supermarkets in town. You can also find varieties of affordable fresh sashimi at the fish counter, including sea urchins. But what makes this place unique is its distinctive Japanese mom and pop grocery store feel throughout the years, carrying the legacy from generation to generation.

Highly recommend this grocery store for all things Japanese! It’s our go to place for sushi grade fish. I also love the household corner for items like plates, bowls, chopsticks, and sake sets. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Free parking is available right next to the store - they’ll validate your parking stub.

Long-time Denver Asian focused market and store. Been going there since the 90's (I think). Extensive selection of Japanese, Chinese, Hawaiian, etc noodles, sauces, crackers, frozen dishes Hawaiian Sun canned drinks - my favorite.

Nice spot to get some quick Asian foods, if you're in the area. The Pacific Ocean Marketplace in Aurora was better, but they closed. This place has a bit more of a limited selection of food, but they also have some dishware and other little gift items. The prices are a bit more expensive than some other Asian markets we've been to, but I guess if you're in the area and need to pick something up, this place is an option. I liked that they had pretty much every Hawaiian Sun flavor, so that's cool.

Super unique and long-running Japanese/east Asian market located next to the historic Sakura Square(Buddhist temple). It’s pretty amazing how many products this store offers as it’s size is a but deceptive from the outside. Not sure if you can find this amount of Japanese products in one place in the Denver area. Sure the prices are bumped up because of import and downtown location, but it’s definitely worth supporting this local business.

The place is so nice You get the fresh mint, diakon radish any many more that you usually dont get on king soopers or walmart. You can get varities of ramen like a lot. You can also get choco-pie there all the 12 pieces just for 3$.
