AI-generated summary
It's a big Japanese market in New Jersey, and the groceries are the real reason to go, especially the fish and the pantry aisles. The onigiri is the food court pick people name. The and the rest of the court get called mediocre, and prices run higher than the Manhattan Japanese stores. You can get there on a bus from the GWB stop.

“The food at Mitsuwa is vastly overrated. Outside of the onigiri at Omusubi Gonbei, the ramen and other foods can be enjoyed at higher quality spots within NYC limits.”

“The fish downstairs at Sakanaya is far far superior though, I think to myself are they catering to whats left of the tiny Japanese community in NYC, like they have better sanma than you can get at Sunrise\\Mitsuwa, and feels like its not really.”
