I love shopping at this store for the nice selection of quality, Japanese foods. The merchant is friendly, professional and always helpful. The store is clean and neat. I want to note that I wish the parking lot was kept cleaner. It doesn't help the all of merchants since that is the first and last thing seen.

Good selection of snacks. They have curry seasoning. Good selection of noddles. They have awesome rice cake snacks. This roll cake is amazing. It is light airy and fluffy. Its creamy and a great amount of sweetness. I will definitely always come back for this cake. 10/10

Very friendly and helpful! The man working helped me pick out the dashi for a recipe I want to make. He read through the recipe before making a recommendation. I appreciate the the time he took. Also the store is clean and well organized. I would recommend J Mart and Ill be back!
