I've been to this lovely store multiple times and enjoyed my grocery shopping of Japanese goods. There's no other store like this in the DMV and I highly recommend Hana Market for its charms and quality.

A small little market on the corner. Despite its small size it has tons of options of food from ramen, drinks, candy, etc, that you can buy. I looked around and didn't see anything special or that I haven't found at other grocery stores. I got one of there ready to eat onigiri. I opted for the salmon one which was really good. Definitely will be back to try others. Cool place to stop for a quick snack and walk around some more. It can get busy and there is only one register so be patient.

I loved coming here. It's an extremely small corner store, but don't be fooled it's packed with racks of Japanese goodies. It's even hard to maneuver around if you come at a busy time due to the narrow aisles. As a functional market, it has your specialty sauces and noodle variants to refrigerated produce for North Asian recipes. They have a great selection of frozen high quality fish, could even be sushi grade. I loved the colorful sweets aisle and they have ceramics and houseware available. We missed the fresh daily made onigiri but it seems though you won't have a hard time finding a yummy snack.

I love this shop! They have so many amazing Japanese snacks and goodies that I feel like a kid in a candy store whenever I drop by. While the space is small and packed to the brim, it's kind of what gives it even more charm for me. Whenever I drop by I'll get some onigiri and a little bit of this and that from different shelves - whatever my eyes land on that looks interesting and right up my alley as I take one quick lap to ensure I don't add to the shops congestion. So while it may be a bit limited, it's so convenient and really just filled with so many great items that it's hard not to love!

Had to make sure they were still open since I had been out of town and saw their building was on the market. Still the same lovely service and tiny store that we have all grown to love. When I cannot get someone to drive me out to NoVa or bring things back from the west coast this has what you need. I feel better about getting food here and supporting a local business than ordering from a grocery delivery service. Make sure to check their produce and everything before you pay.

Right next to Tokiya Japan, this small Japanese grocery store packs a lot of things that are hard to get. Small aisles filled with Japanese Candy, Ingredients, Sauces, Drinks, you name it this store would make you want to spend money in some way or form. Great prices too. I didn't think I'd be spending under 20 after walking out with a few items but alot of items are reasonably cheap and are definitely a bargain. I got melon bread that was really cheaper than expected, and candy that I'd thought that be a lot more. I can't say about the food but I came late ( like an hour before they closed ) and I'm sure I'd been one of the lucky ones to have experienced such delight of Onigiri if they still had any. Greatly check it out if you're in the area.

This market is a locals favorite! If you plan on cooking an authentic Japanese meal and need to shop prior this is the only place that should be in your mind. Outside of grocery shopping I wait up to 20 mins sometimes for their fresh onigiri. My only critique is that I wish the rice has more vinegar besides that it makes me miss Hawaii and Japan when I have one of these. I wish people would stop complaining about the grocery prices. These are imported ingredients some of which are very hard to find and pay. It's DC you pay for what you get.

One of the only asian markets nearby. I'm not sure if I'm used to being surrounded by Asian markets in California but the kewpie mayo was severely overpriced, I thought it was wrongly marked but it is $26.50.. I would come back maybe for snacks (i'm happy to find these chocolates) but not for groceries.

Such a local gem. I love Hana Market. Along with all the amazing Japanese products you can get, they have a great small vegetable selection. They package two mini cucumbers, a few mushrooms, green onions, etc. perfect for households of one. Their frozen section is not to be missed. I have a hard time not leaving with a full basket after every trip. They are also open everyday which is so nice.

This is one of my favorite places in DC. This is a super small Japanese grocery store that also feels like a community hub for the Japanese community. There's always things posted on their bulletin board and the patrons are always interacting with each other. It might be because the space is so small though. That being said, even though it's small, I feel like I can buy most everything I need at this place, especially things I can't get at American grocery stores. Also shout-out to the onigiri that they sell fresh. The umeboshi onigiri is DIVINE.
