Marukai

Wow! Huge selections of Japanese products. Before catching your plane, be sure to stock up (omiyage). So much food, sake, snacks... Different prefecture's specialty products to sample. Pictures tells the story.

Such a great selection of housewares and food at Marukai. I could spend hours shopping here. We picked up pantry items, snacks, 🍱 bento, sushi, onigiri 🍙. Had a great lunch at home from all the delicious items. I’ll bring home lots of gifts and snacks in my suitcase for later too.

A lot of goodies and import stuffs. Very similar to Don Quijote supermarket but a little smaller. A lot of parking space. You don't need a membership account. A lot of Japanese and Korean products. They also have cooked meals ready to go or made to order sushi trays.

This is the sister store of Don Quixote. It is a less hectic shopping experience but getting to the location is a challenge due to the RAIL project. There is ample parking and the staff is helpful. They offer an assortment of prepared foods and sushi. It has a more sanitary appearance than the Don Quixote near Ala Moana.

I stopped by to get my early lunch, Ahi Poke Bowl, for $8.37 with tax included, which is a very cheap price. It was delicious also and so convenient. The diet pepsi was only $0.60, which was also so cheap. Very cheap and convenient so it is a great spot for cheap lunch while passing by.

Honestly, I couldn't even focus on what they sold or what the prices were. The floors are so uneven that it gave me motion sickness. I think the only way I could come back is if I took motion sickness medicine before going. It feels like you are in a fishbowl or a trick-eye museum. If you have a weak stomach or get motion sickness easily I would strongly recommend not walking in the store.

Always great to see different Japanese products from all areas of Japan from Hokkaido to Tokyo to Kunamoto. They have great deals for products that will expire in 1-3 months too.
