HokkaiSan brings Japanese culture to Austin with grocery store experience

HokkaiSan has launched in downtown with a range of Japanese cuisine options for locals to enjoy.

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.
