One of the shop’s defining features is its fresh meat and seafood counter. Resembling Asian wet markets, an array of fish, scallops, clams and crab rest on ice at the shop’s counter.
For those after a quicker fix, the fresh sushi section offers ready-to-eat options.
Meanwhile, the in-store cafe serves Japanese treats, like dorayaki, bubble tea and freshly squeezed juices.
