The details
Owned by Jason Qiu, the Japanese-style grocery store now offers a curated selection of food, Asian snacks and beverages for visitors to get a taste of Japan.
Customers looking to indulge in a meal can check out the store’s fresh sushi and hot meals, including teriyaki bowl options, which are prepared daily.
“Our goal is to bring a taste of Japan to the Austin community through both our offerings and in-store experience,” Qiu said in an email exchange with Community Impact.

The business has taken over the space previously occupied by Royal Blue Grocery, which closed earlier this year.
