It was a Friday night in May 1999. "Your homesick will be fixed after you saw the place. " My husband said.<br /><br />Since my very first visit, Mitsuwa is on the "must go" list for grocery shopping. I shop there twice a month, for 10 years. For me, it is not only a cozy and nice grocery store, it is also one of my favorite food court for lunch, and, a place where I feel and refresh my old memory of Asia.<br /><br />Mitsuwa offers online shop and delivery service. However, I enjoy more to be there in person, to look, to smell, to feel and to listen. If you are fun of Asian food, it is the first destination to go in Midwest of the United States.<br /><br />Here is my shopping list here:<br />Fresh made Sushi ( best price /quality value in Chicago).<br />Tofu and Tofu products ( drinks, frozen and cooked, lots of options for Tofu lovers )<br />Japanese roll cake ( best snack for kids )<br />Salmon (fresh uncooked)<br />Japanese Rice<br />Saporo or Tsingtao beer<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Fuorf_zR7Q0/SY9bqcK-DJI/AAAAAAAAABA/TnpTPKJXqO8/s1600-h/M5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 87px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Fuorf_zR7Q0/SY9bqcK-DJI/AAAAAAAAABA/TnpTPKJXqO8/s320/M5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300556071113198738" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/544217593478074314-2025249403856909216?l=tastyislandnorth.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>gesmile ( 6 year old)http://www.blogger.com/profile/06807421014236326645noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544217593478074314.post-74155603208570993682009-02-08T13:21:00.000-08:002009-02-08T18:13:03.416-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Fuorf_zR7Q0/SY9PeHUN07I/AAAAAAAAAAM/kYwK5_E7aIY/s1600-h/M+tenpoimg.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 106px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Fuorf_zR7Q0/SY9PeHUN07I/AAAAAAAAAAM/kYwK5_E7aIY/s320/M+tenpoimg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300542665216873394" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Love yummy food?
