Uh oh....... the competition, LOL.

I go to Sakuraya a lot. Their prices are very good, but I cannot see how the place survives. Hardly anyone there. Every time I go, I'm the only one there or maybe two other people are there. Even though prices are cheaper, they have nowhere near the selection of Fujiya. Nor the okazu, bento and sushi sections.

One exception. My favourite Pota Pota rice crackers are $3.80 at Fujiya and $4.30 at Sakuraya. Even worse is Konbiniya at $5.00!!!

Favourite all time Japanese store was Shimizu Shoten, when it was still around. Home made manju, ftmfw! The place was like the Uwajimaya of Vancouver.

How's that for random thoughts.........

Dirty look from MG1 can melt steel beams.
