“A hyperlocal hipster blend of Japantown pride, cool Bay Area finds (like Unami Mart goodies), "were you there?" vintage, and even handcrafted goods from the local senior center. Perfect shop to have next to the Moment / SJMade store a different look but the same local vibe. Oh the shop owner is super nice and laid back, might even offer you a coffee when you come in. And they just celebrated 1 year, so go show them some love!”
“Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend. Don't forget an import snack for later, those are fun to try even if it sounds like a weird flavor. It's a cheap little adventure for your taste buds after enjoying a smooth flavor packed session with your favorite dabbing rig.”
“I had a fantastic experience here. Walked in not knowing what I was looking for, and walked out with exactly what I wanted.The staff was super helpful, and I ended up with some great items, with a total bill under $5. Amazing!”

“A great shop in the heart of Japantown, San Jose with a long history in the neighborhood and good Japanese products and gifts. As a fourth generation Japanese American, it's wonderful to see shops like this that still exist.”
“I was so happy when I walked into this store. There are so many amazing vintage and antique items. It’s a store with many smaller sellers displaying their wonderful items. I found 3 things I couldn't live with out. I love supporting small businesses, too. You should treat yourself to this incredible store.”

“This was my first time visiting Japantown and found this great store with so many Japanese items. Arlene, the owner, showed us how to fold origami hats that can be used as bookmarks. I was curious about how a kimono is worn and Miko spent time dressing me in a kimono and explaining each step. There was another lady there that was nice. I came out with knowledge about the kimono and Japanese style and with a beautiful tsuzumi pillow. I highly recommend this gem of a store!”
“There were two things I wanted to do on my trip to the Bay Area - eat good food and buy a warrior shirt. I had seen a sumo fish warrior shirt in Japantown SF but decided to buy it at Nikkei because they let me try it on in the bathroom. The staff are super accommodating and friendly. There is a variety of asian inspired goods ranging from music cds from hawaii to asian inspired legos like a shiba inu and daruma doll. I'll definitely be back to get more sumo fish shirts! They're comfortable, flattering and the designs are super fun! Mahalo to the cashier who let me try on the shirts. He was really nice!”

“They got it! I always take my car remote batteries here. Great family, super friendly, and they have the Sriracha! I bought a case for a reasonable price. They have a few cases left. I will be going back for a rice cooker, they have the good stuff, and really good prices too. Lastly, I have major shoulder pain and they recommended a Vietnamese oil and it really helped. I love these guys and a lifetime customer.”
“My nieces LOVE this place and have been shopping at this retail shop since the owner started with a cart in Oakridge Mall. I visited with my niece for her birthday and we LOVED everything in the store! The owners are nice, friendly and helpful. They have stickers and other artsy gifts from local artists. the Crochet handbags are well made with beautiful designs. PERFECT place for unique gifts at reasonable prices. Highly recommended.”

“Stop by this adorable shop where multiple local artists sell their awesome creations. There is something here for everyone. I got an adorable frog backpack, witchy stickers, mermaid stickers, goldfish stickers, axolotl enamel pin, and a gold fish hat.”
“This zoo is great for children and adults. We had so much fun coming on a weekday. There was hardly anyone there so we rode all the rides without any lines and the animals were so neat. I guess the capybaras are a real hit.”
“Simon was awesome he asked if I need help and showed me what I was looking for, kept a smile on his face and told me if I needed anything else please ask. Thank you Simon”
“I had a lovely time at the Tech at Nite: Love Lab this past Thursday, a special adult-only Valentine's event. I mainly just come here for the IMAX dome theater, so this was a nice opportunity to do something different at the venue. Parked at the Convention Center garage for $5 with parking validation at the Tech. Colorful lighting and music set the mood inside, a DJ playing upbeat tunes, and both the lower and upper level were filled with activities for attendees, with minimal wait times for most experiences. We enjoyed wine-tasting with Cooper-Garrod Estate Vineyards, a complimentary glass (or two) offered at one of the tables. We created our own light and art project through a mixture of food coloring, dye, and cooking oils, courtesy of Local Color. We also personalized fragrance sprays with Ashy Aromas (an organization known for customized scented candles). In terms of the museum offerings, a couple of the interactive displays were not in working order, such as in the Space Exploration section. But there was still a lot for us to see and do during our visit. Plenty of hands-on stations, the museum exhibits geared toward kids, with some so simple and straightforward that it would probably only be educational or amusing to very young children. But for this adult-only night, we had fun interacting with the exhibits without any kids around. This included building a more sustainable city, sorting compost, recycling, and trash, and seeing nature-themed graphics emulate our movements in the AI-enabled immersive Dream Garden. The Innovator was cool too, a simulation ride where guests could design and enjoy their own roller coaster adventure. We also engaged in a "doctor and patient communication" activity in the Innovation in Healthcare section. And we checked out the Body Worlds Decoded exhibit, even though I've already seen this in Vegas. The event offered limited food options, but the items we got were delicious, apparently catered by Smashing Dishes. We had the Lover's Grazing Plate, a charcuterie snack (which came with meat, cheese, crackers, nuts, and fruit), Cupid's Caprese (made with yummy pesto and adorable heart-shaped mozzarella), and fresh baked cookies (we wanted both chocolate chip and peanut butter, but they accidentally gave us both chocolate chip). Unfortunately, the candy cocktails were not good, particularly the "love potion #14" on the menu which lacked flavor or any kind of sweetness. Luckily, they also offered canned beverages and wine. All in all, it was a great Vday pre-celebration for me and my bf.”
“The owner of this smoke shop is such a genuine hardworking person, and he and all his the employees are so kind and knowledgeable. I feel so welcome every time I come here, and I can always find exactly what I need, I don't think they've ever been out of stock of anything. They're always willing to help out any customer. Highly recommend.”

“I LOVE THIS PLACE!! Located in the heart of DT San Jose, I am so glad I stumbled upon this gem of a store. The staff was inviting and so knowledgable of their inventory. I bought beautiful crystals with inviting and healing energy for my office and upon placing the crystals in the office, my practice members immediately noticed and admired them. You can tell the crystals are carefully selected to be sold in the store and are of high quality. Can't recommend this place if you are looking for a great vibe overall!”
