“Maybe I’m biased as she is my small business neighbor but as a community member & some one who lives in Japantown, San Jose for more than 10+ years. This shop opening in Japan town is amazing and different! It adds so much life to the area and the shop is done beautifully with thought and care. Every item is beautiful! I have collected many beautiful pieces that I treasure… definitely check her out! Plants, events, aura photos, jewelry, perfume and so much more! 🫶🏼”

“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.”

“A little note of appreciation for a truly special place my wife and I visited recently in Japantown, San Jose. We stopped into Nichi Bei Bussan, and it turned out to be far more than just a shop. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed—and almost immediately, a young man working there greeted us with a smile and handed us a small origami figure. Such a simple, thoughtful gesture, and it perfectly set the tone for the visit. The store itself is wonderful: Japanese groceries, teas, ceramics, stationery, paper goods, gifts, and beautifully curated traditional items you don’t often see anymore. It feels calm, authentic, and quietly joyful to browse. What makes Nichi Bei Bussan truly special, though, is the history behind it. The shop traces its roots back to 1902, when it was founded in San Francisco by Shojiro Tatsuno, serving the Japanese immigrant community. The Tatsuno family endured the 1906 earthquake, the forced internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, and the long road of rebuilding afterward. In 1948, Shojiro’s son Dave Tatsuno reopened the family business in San Jose’s Japantown, where it has remained ever since. Today, the store continues under the care of the next generation, including Arlene Tatsuno Damron, carrying forward a legacy of culture, resilience, and community. Knowing that history—and then experiencing such genuine kindness in person—made our visit feel deeply meaningful. We left not just with a few lovely items, but with smiles and a sense of having touched a living piece of Japanese-American history. If you’re ever in Japantown San Jose, do yourself a favour and stop by Nichi Bei Bussan. It’s not just a shop—it’s warmth, history, and humanity all under one roof.”

“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!”

“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!”

“This Makers Market includes popup shops of local handcrafted and specialty products once a month in warm weather at Satana Row. This offers local small businesses and craftspeople the opportunity to sell their wares. I Gibbs unique pearl earring and an awesome fine chain necklace. It is wonderful to be able to talk with the craft person and hear their story and inspirations. I found local honey from the beekeeper. A fragrant vanilla candle, and couldn’t decide on such unique Tshirts. Open air accessible entry. Van accessible parking in Santana Row parking garage with 2 hours fee parking with $6 an hour with no signage on pricing. Limited street parallel parking is free for 2 hours. Accessible mens and women’s restroom in central mall area The stalls line the central walkway on busy days and the area is still accessible and walkable”

“I came here recently to buy an ao dai for my daughter for Tet. The lady who helped me and my husband was really nice and showed us the sets they had for her age range. I decided to get a red and gold one, and it came with the pants. The store although small has a lot of different merchandise. Can feel a little cramped in there. A good spot for trinkets and a Lotto ticket”

“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.”

“Worker was nice to have me exchange my open labubu but had to pay an extra $10. There was a mini gift attached to it called lazy yoga but when I opened it, it was a different kind of labubu so that sucked. But it’s still cute tho”

“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.”
