Love the selection here! The produce section is on the smaller side but you can find a variety of mushrooms that you’d expect to see at an Asian grocery store. I got everything I needed for some bomb vegan sushi rolls. They carry the inari tofu pockets which I’m super happy to find since I can’t seem to find them in any non-Japanese grocers.
Absolutely a stop when in Denver. Love getting a variety of snacks and drinks. The workers are very kind and helpful. Will always come back.
I absolutely love this shop. They workers are super helpful. And the shop as a large variety anything from snacks to drinks, to ingredients. They are authentic and kind. I love love love going here. I make at least one trip a year just to shop here
Great place to get all your Asian food needs.
MUST VISIT!Amazing beautiful store.Friendliest people!A little piece of Japan!
Awesome little market, good selection of random imports.
Great shop. Love the amount of goods they have in stock. Typically go there for unique spices or for rice flour based products. 😊
Grocery store filled with Japanese food items; it has the best selection that I know of. It has a small produce area and some fish fillets for sale as well. Theres some other things you can get too like (some) clothing, bowls and utensils, and handmade cards for sending letters.
Love this place great japanese market with all sorts of other non food items if you go plan on spending some time to look at everything. Nice people .
Weve (my family) been coming here for well over 40 years. This gem has foods that you cant get at those other Asian markets 😊 like tsukemono, manju, specific brands of rice, and so much more. We love this family and this family business and they show their love for this community by always giving back. Youre treated like family here. You cant help but leave here with all of your goodies and, with a smile. Be sure to stop by! #SupportLocal
Used to come here as a youth with my mom, who was born in Japan. Visited yesterday and felt the wave of nostalgia from the fish smells, seeing the unfamiliar produce and hearing the automatic door open. Great store if you need items from Asia that arent sold at King Soopers, Whole Foods, Natural Grocer, etc.Pacific Mercantile Company sells housewares from clay pots for cooking rice (donabe) to rice cookers, and even offers a specialized selection of books. If you are looking for something specific, or want to try something new, stop by this market and support a local business!
I have been to full blown Asian grocery stores and this little shop has a better selection than those other stores and has always had exactly what I am looking for.
I love this grocery store! It’s in a perfect location for street parking/walking if you live downtown. It’s small- but has all the essentials & more. The quality of the food is great & brands you recognize! Try this local & family run store out, you won’t be disappointed: )
Great selections and staff were great! A bit pricey though.
I live in Montana, so it was super nice to find a market like this! I prolly could have spent an hour in there looking over everything, but I got some essentials and snacks I havent been able to have in forever, like mochi and melona ice cream! Will definitely stop in again next time we come through Denver
I love this place and its fantastic customer service and products but I really have to express my disappointment and flat out disgust with the fish I was sold.I bought a pound each of salmon, albacore, and yellowtail on a Tuesday afternoon. The elderly gentleman behind the counter was cordial and welcoming. Both he and one of the ladies at the checkout reassured me that I was buying sushi grade fish.I got home 5 minutes later and unwrapped all three cuts only to find that the only cut that didnt smell immediately rancid and feel slimy was the salmon.Upon closer inspection I found that the yellowtail and albacore were absolutely not sushi grade, let alone appealing to cook to eat. I sliced a small piece of the albacore and yellowtail for a taste test and immediately spat them out and nearly vomited.I feel incredibly betrayed and hesitant to ever buy any kind of fresh food from this place.
Nice little market in downtown Denver that offers Japanese goods, as well as a variety of other Asian products.They carry chilled Japanese Swiss Roll, onion ring chips, cheese curl chips, Hawaiian Portuguese sausage, among others favorites.
I believe is the only Japanese supermkt in Denver Area. Nice place and validation of parking ticket in front lot.
I never review places but they went above and beyond. Not only do they have a great selection of products their customer service is amazing. I will be back and will send people here often.
If you require any Asian ingredients or products this place is likely what you need.After trying to find certain products at King Soopers I just assumed it was impossible to find them anywhere in Denver. This store has such a wide range of products it felt like I was back traveling through Japan.Staff were also nice and helpful.Will definitely be heading back.
Love this store! Sweet store employees, and lots of sauces, snacks, noodles, mushrooms, red bean cakes, drinks, and canned goods to choose from. Many of which are vegan (there is also vegan kimchi now). Always a joy to stop by!
Wonderful selection of Japanese snacks and cultural items, very friendly staff, very affordable! If youre looking for Japanese treats look no further.
Visited this market last week. I now live in Arvada and trying to adjust to Colorado from living long time in Southern California (Santa Monica) and had great access to Japanese products!! This market is much better than all other Asian market I visited in Arvada, Westminster, Denver and Broomfield since I relocated to Colorado last month. Please find a farm that grows mitsuba!!
Very nice people, lots of interesting items, good prices.
A variety of Asian grocery items can be found here.
Best Japanese grocery store in Colorado. Work hard and family owned. Quality of vegetables are outstanding and sashimi and fresh fish and shrimp are delicious. They carry items my grandparents bought years ago and will try to locate items for you if they dont have available. Very clean store
Really cool Japanese grocery store I would go again if had the opportunity.
Wide range of Japanese groceries and other goods (with a spattering of other east asian and pacific foods too). Prices are very reasonable and the staff are friendly. Beware that a lot of the packaging does not have english translations so it is usually best to have some idea what you want.The steam buns sold here are excellent and it is the best local source for east asian groceries in the area.
I love this market! My family has been shopping here for as long as I can remember - back in my grandparents day this was the only place to buy Japanese foods. Today, my daughters and I had the nicest experience with Jolie (hope I spelled that right) - she was EXTREMELY accommodating, friendly, and helpful. We even got to enjoy some taiko while we shopped! Thank you for continuing to serve the greater Denver community!
Amazing store! Great finds!
Always have a good experience. Staff is friendly, selection is good. Prices are good.
I loveeeee this asian market. The people that work here are so incredibly kind. I was really surprised. As weird as it may sound, I literally could feel a positive energy inside of there store. I dont know if it has something to do with the product selection or what the deal is. But for such a small asian market, the selection of items really shocked me. They have so many great options. Also, the prices were so reasonable. Especially for Tapioca Starch and Tapioca Flour. I am going to make a point to visit here at least once a week while I live in this area. Happy I found this place and highly recommend. My only con is parking. There is street parking and I THINK its free on Sunday? The sign says otherwise but I parked on a Sunday without paying the meter without an issue. Online it says Denver parking on Sundays is free so *shrugs*. Anyway, Love this place.
Lovely Asian store with a small but good fresh selection ☺️. Good findings for vegetarians too.
This store has everything you can think of when visiting a Japanese store. Really miss the candy that came with toys when I was little. Everything else is just as I remembered.
Best Asian grocery in Colorado. Awesome fresh produce at prices comparable to big grocery chains.
Theyre happy to help you and they have great variety.
This place is HUGE. They have such a great selection of fish, produce, sauces, etc. Plus, they have lovely origami paper, tea sets, chopsticks and more. So, so much to try and enjoy!
Hell yea! Ive lived in Asia on and off for the past 7 years and this place BRINGS IT. So happy it exists. Not over proces like some grocery stores are with these sorts of imports. Thank you ♡
Love this place! They are knowlegeble, helpful and friendly. Quality of the seafood is excellent!
I like the product they have but everytime I need assistance from the older man behind the fish counter, he does his best to ignore my presence and never gets my order right. Its not a language barrier thing because I can speak Japanese so IDK its my tattoos or I dont fit into traditional Japanese thing or whatever but just do your job is all I ask.
Meh. Average. The wet market was bare. The choices were okay.
This market has everything from milk, eggs, and bread to fresh sashimi and sushi, vegetables, frozen gyoza, gyudon, natto, cold drinks, sweets, rice, curry mix, kitchenware and so much more. Its always fun to shop here.
Food place for asian food.
Pretty good store but not the Asian markets Im use too. Would go again if Im in the area but wouldnt make a special trip.
I love the idea of this. I hope it continues to run smoothly!
Always love this shop! Everyone here is wonderful and they carry an amazing selection of products including some very nice knives and dinnerware!
They dont take EBT.
Honest and upfront people. Prompt and clear communication. One of the most customer-centered and pleasant interactions that Ive ever had with an online retailer. Thank you.
This store is the best one to go to for oriental needs. Amazing products, snacks, beverages, and meals. Staff is always super friendly, and Ill go every weekend if I can
Awesome shop with so many options and hard to find ingredients.
Love this shop! They have so much great food and drinks you cant get anywhere else.
Very good place to get some local Hawaii food.
Great selection of Japanese food and consumer products.
We love Pacific Merc! A wonderful selection of Japanese and Asian groceries, kitchen wares and clothing.
Organized, good selection, good quality, good prices, nice staff
I love this place! I always enjoy shopping at PMC. I wonder if they are open on Thanksgiving week.
Great shop! Always have what I need!
First time there I definitely would go back again which is great
This is a fantastic yet small Japanese market that carries a wide range of items from Japan and other Asian countries. Although small and somewhat limited, their produce section is exceptional. Available, among other things, are several types of Japanese mushrooms that I absolutely love! Parking is available on the street at meters, but the RTD downtown 19th Street bus stops directly across the street, and that bus is free.
I love this Japanese market. They carry my favorite Okinawa sweet potatoes, they have affordable sashimi, and best of all they have mochi from Fugetsudo. I miss my weekly visits to Fugetsudo and Little Tokyo in general, so its nice to have a place to go to in Denver that is authentically Japanese.
They have everything you can imagine and theyre super friendly.
This place is magic. The employees are magic too. Just go and see for yourself!
Little slice of heaven makes a Hawaiian boy like me feel like home
I love this store! At first it was a novelty to come and get Japanese candy I cant find anywhere else, and now as Ive gotten older and I cook, I love this store for delicious and well priced cooking items! Best rice, sauces, and noodle selection around!
Small but have all the things you would usually need! Staff very friendly and helpful.
Was only there for a short while before closing but the staff was very friendly and helpful. I didnt have a lot of time so having a few recommendations helped me get plenty of stuff to try. Really appreciate the customer service!
Love this place! Can get pretty much everything I need in one place!
Prices are fair, store is clean and there are many of my favorite products here. Great place to shop.
Authentic and unusual stuff
Great customer service and nice selection of Japanese and Asian foods. They also have a nice gift/book section in the back.
This store has been here forever. It has the basic ingredients for Japanese cooking; it doesnt have helpful, chatty shopkeepers wanting to engage with shoppers to inspire and give them ideas for every day Japanese eating. Somehow Ive picked up a lot of the everyday foods and living but Id like more. Im mostly of Scandinavian heritage but a friend believed me when I once referred to my Japanese heritage … sure, Vikings went everywhere spreading their red hair (wasnt the Irish) and a were a melting pot but maybe not Japan.Enjoy the beautiful ceramics on on half of the store and the meat and fish cut, not as you ask but as it should be on the other end. It needs to be much larger and have a public restroom.
My FAVORITE store! Carries TONS of Hawaii foods! Redondos Portuguese sausage, Li Hing Mui, Huli Huli sauce, Diamond crackers, etc. I could go on and on! LOVE IT!
Great place to shop for Japanese ingredients and food. Certified fresh fish. the best quality in Denver. Super low prices too!
Love. This. Place. They seem like a normal Asian market in the front, but it the back left corner they sell beautiful tea accessories from cups to pots to strainers. They also offer lots of different designs of bowls, sake sets, chop sticks and other beautiful things from Japan. I come often to see their new stock. And the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Come treat yourself.
I love this shop. They have good selection of great, affordable food, plus lots of Japanese toys, books, bento boxes, and more. Plus, theyre always very kind to us in there. Highly recommend!
Awesome place
I can get real Japanese food !
Best Asian market around. Ive shopped here for over 40 years.
I love this place
If you need salmon sashimi or really good Japanese tea,or mocha ice cream. Thats the place to go.
We love this store. They have our hawaiian foods, Japanese rice, aloha shoyu, crack seed, and I bought my chef knife there as well. Very friendly cashiers.
If youre looking for authentic Asian foods or ingredients this is the place to find it. Japanese items and beyond. Everything from produce to fresh fish, to snacks and kitchen tools. So much is packed into this unique store. The kind staff will help you find what youre looking for, too.
Great Asian grocery store. I get ingredients for pickles and seaweed - plus they cut fish for sushi. Everyone is helpful if you need to find specific ingredients too. Tons of varieties of rice. Easy to find on the street and by car.
Wonderful staff and a great selection of Japanese and other Asian food
Great source for Asian foods!
I do not recommend this store, the main reason why I do not recommend this store because I have seen one of the managers verbally abusing her coworker.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Start accepting EBT FOOD STAMPS!! Times are really hard right now with Corona Virus and I would love to be able to shop at your store and to support your business. Please please please I’m begging you to start accepting EBT!
Best Japanese market around
Lots of fresh vegetables and fruits you could actually choose from. They also have oriental fruits. A bit pricey but the products are worth it and i can guarantee you that yore time will be worth it.!
Sashimi was good. I quite liked their seaweed salad.
Awesome store! Treasure trove, huge & Im forever finding something I cant live without trying. Great place for tea and spices also.
This is by far THE BEST Japanese food store! We come from Colorado Springs just to shop here--the selection is fantastic (food, gifts, cooking utensils, and home decorations) and the people who work here are SO friendly and helpful!! But today I found another reason to love this store even more!!! They actually opened their doors to my elderly parents 30 minutes early so they could shop in relative safety from all this covid19 insanity. I appreciated that so very much. Thank you! Domo Arigato! from the bottom of my heart!!!
My favorite place for all my Asian cuisine needs!I live an hour away, so I have to plan my trips into the city well, but when I do get to Pacific Mercantile, I stock up!Rice, spices, sauces, produce, candies, etc! They have it all! Even little trinkets and such!And the staff is super friendly and helpful.I would very highly recommend this place without a doubt!
Amazing selection of imported goods. You can find anything you need to prepare Asian food here plus wonderful prepared items to snack on. Well worth a stop if you are nearby.
A fantasy world of all sorts of Japanese and pacific imports. Fish, noodles, candies, cold drinks, groceries, dishware, teas, and more ! Staff is friendly and welcoming.
A great little grocer to have in the neighborhood.
SO many delicious choices offered in the citys best market!!!
Hands down my favorite place to shop for Japanese ingredients. The prices are very reasonable and every time I visit I find a new favorite treat. Its a rather small store but every inch is packed with treasures.
