What a wonderful store! I am visiting from out of state and wanted to get some authentic Japanese onigiri rice cakes and just happened to find this shop while looking online and Wow it is a gem. Clean, well-stocked and specializing in Japanese foods. They have a busy kitchen making real-deal, freshly prepared Japanese bento box takeouts. I lived in Japan and have been back many times to visit, so I know the real thing and this store stocks everything you’d see in Kyoto at a neighborhood grocery, including the small, beautiful fresh takeout dishes. Too many Americans think Japan is only sushi, but it’s so much more. I told the owners that I especially loved gobo root and carrot side dish and they were sweet to sell me a large takeout version.
Best little authentic Japanese grocery in the valley. They have lunch bento boxes, a wide variety of snacks, foods, rices and spices. Everything you need to make Japanese dishes at home. They also have a large section of Japanese style cookware, tea pots, ceramics, and other beautiful hand crafted goods. You gotta check this spot out.Gokurosama deshita!
I love this little store. They always have the one off items I need for cooking Japanese food, they also have a very good hot lunch service, that I frequent more than I should. They have always been accommodating and very kind.
Closest Japanese grocery store to Idaho, nice and friendly staff. Easy to navigate.
Best service. Clean and very organized.I love to go buy their homemade Japanese food. I can say, it is the best Japanese food with very reasonable price in town! (:
I am IN LOVE with this store! They are so cute and jam packed with a lot of different foods to try! The people running it were super sweet too! I cannot wait to go back and bring my family!
Great staff good selection. A lot of it was even the same brands I got used to in Tokyo.
Wow! Small but this place has a lot of things neatly organized and the owners are very friendly and willing to chat. Even gave me advice on where to have free Japanese lessons.
Great help and good product choices. The homemade food is authentic and tasty. The folks there are super knowledgeable.
If you love Japan and Japanese food, this is the best place to go. They have such a wide selection of food, snacks, ingredients, sauces, etc. The family that runs the place is super friendly and kind. Theres no better place if you love Japan and/or miss it as much as I do.
This is the best Japanese market in Salt Lake City. They have a large selection of products and are reasonably prices for being imported from Japan. The owners are extremely nice and very helpful. If you are not sure what you are looking for are need a recommendation just ask, they will enthusiastically offer assistance. Highly recommended visiting this store and I will be back.
If you need anything to cook traditional Japanese food this is the place and the bento boxes they make here are very good
They have stuff I cant find a where else. Fantastic selection! Owners are super friendly! Apparently Post Malone comes here on occasion. For that alone I would give it six stars, but alas, I cannot.
Good selection for a small market in Utah. Their obento are excellent!
Nice market. Lots of variety. Love the little kitchen! They have good food.
I go there because I know I can find and purchase all the sweet goodies that isnt sold at any other store. Love this place! Everyone there is super nice and friendly. Clean! Has a little cafe/restaurant in the back of the store if you want anything like that. Go and try it! Its a little store for all your Asian food needs.
Ill never go to another Asian store again! This place is 100% Japanese; it felt like I was back in Japan. The food is authentic, the music is authentic, and the people are authentic. They have a wide variety of items, including freshly made bentos and household items. Theres no doubt Ill spend way too much money there every time I go lol
Lovely place with lovely employees. They are super friendly and their products are great. They sell ready to eat food and its good and reasonably priced. So far Ive had their poke bowl and Tonkotsu ramen but both were amazing.My only wish is that they sold frozen redbean mochi, but at least they sell it ready to eat :)
Great store - but be cautious of purchasing the wasabi mayo. It is a shelf stable product that I opened within 2 hours of purchase. However, it was separated and apparently rancid. Upon tasting, I began to have immediate violent vomiting.The owners let me know that I would be able to get a refund if I returned to the store. Unfortunately, I live 40 miles away.Despite this incidence, I will return for more groceries when I am in town.Double check the mayo!!
The people are amazingly friendly and helpful, the prices are very good, and the food is authentic and incredible great!
I love the atmosphere of this place. People were nice and they have a wide variety of food. Ill definitely be back to try some of their hot fresh food next time!
Where to start?? They have the best bento box lunches in all of SLC!Get there at 10:00 when they open for the best selection! Prefer to sit down and eat? Try the ramen or beef curry. Seating is limited and expect a long wait during lunch time but it is worth the wait.They also stock almost every Asian culinary product you can think of...this side of Japan!Its my go to place to Nori, Gari, Miso, Oi Ocha, Furikake, Umeboshi and much, much, more! A small but appropriate and unique selection of sundries such as sake sets, tea sets, and sushi dishes.
I love this place so much. Its so small and nondescript on the outside, but the inside is so clean and organized and they have a great variety of authentic Japanese groceries and a few little kitchen and household goods. They also serve hot lunch items like ramen and udon as well as bento lunches, onigiri, and simple sushi. These are always fresh and high quality and the staff is very friendly and polite.They dont have a ton of fresh produce, but do have a lot of frozen products. I particularly like the Japanese pickles, kimchi, and other items.
A great selection of food and products both made in house and from Japan directly. I suggest grabbing dinner while youre here, you wont regret it.
Very unique store in the middle of underdeveloped part of the city. Despite its unassuming presence, it contains some exotic treats and has new discoveries to be had. The employees are friendly, polite, and helpful. Great place to try some of Japans delicacies, at least something new for the American pallet.
The only really good Japanese market in Sal Lake
Very cool place to shop and the ramen was good!
My favorite specialty market in SLC. I lived in Japan and this is the only place to find all the things I miss! Shout-out to my favorite instant yakisoba!!
Oh my god! The Beef Bowl the atmosphere everything at this market is amazing! Service is excellent!
Small, but clean and tidy. Not super familiar with Japanese cuisine myself, but theres a big variety of different Japanese snacks and groceries. Good prices too.
Ramen that feels like youre getting healed by it or something. Tastes so good its like your mom made it for you. SS+ tier!! Oh yeah, the market is super fun to grab snacks from Japan as well as drinks and packs of Ramen that Maruchan can only dream of making. And the people that work there are the absolute most nicest and genuine people!
Super friendly staff. Good selection. Decent prices. No complaints. The sushi is good and I look forward to trying their ramen.
Always very friendly and helpful. Love the gyoza!
I love this place. It has a small lunch counter with a small menu but it is all good and authentic. There is no atmosphere but great service surrounded by a small market. It’s a great place for those on the know …
Amazing food and great selection of items. The customer service is great. A wonderful family owned business. I go here all the time and it’s my favorite market in SLC.
I’ve been looking for a Japanese market with ready made food near by and can’t believe it took me this long to find this place. Tried a bunch of the food and a few market items — all were amazing and fresh! Great priced too.
Great little place with a great selection of Japanese ingredients, cookware and accessories, instant noodles, and some great options for Ramen and Udon, to boot. My kids love the pastries in the fridge there.
This place is awesome ^o^
Our oldest son is developing a strong interest in the Japanese language and culture so to help him explore his interest, my husband searched for a Japanese import store. Japan-Sage Market is a wonderful business and did not disappoint! The staff is friendly, polite, and welcoming and the store is very clean. Our son was excited to explore and see the different products on the shelves. He quickly found new and interesting products he wanted to purchase and now he is planning to save his money and go back on a monthly basis. My husband and I were happy with the sushi we purchased up by the register and plan to go back to try their take out ramen soon. They are more of a grocery store/deli so If youre on the hunt for manga/anime, you wont find too much of that. If youre looking for a good Japanese food/kitchen accessory import store, I seriously recommend Japan-Sage Market!
Beautiful little market on Main Street, delectable ready to eat food as well!
My go to ma and pa homemade ramen place. Ive been going here from 2012. And it still the great taste, affordable price, sometimes you need to come earlier for their lunch hours. Normally between 10am to 2pm. Simple menu but great taste and affordable price and great service. That means theyre doing great job. I take My daughter to come here too every Saturday. They also had the best sushi deals or I should say nigiri, and their Japanese snacks. Theyre also have small size of seaweed salad, pickled veggies so that way you dont have to buy the whole thing. I tend to get their japanese frozen cream puff here. Yummy and cheap too.
Its a lovely authentic little Japanese shop! I love the food and the service is great! I lived in Japan for a year and half and this shop has lots of the food that I loved from there.
Everything I hoped it was. I will be back.
Love visiting this store, buy some food that already made or to make yourself at home. There always something new to buy or get.
Great and friendly staff towards everybody. Rarity, shelf life, and shipping cost from Japan considered, I would say the prices are extraordinary. Their ceramic bowls are actually very low cost for being hand made and great quality!
Store has a lot of Japanese/asian goodies that are hard to find out here in Utah! Wish I found them sooner
This is sincerely my favorite place to go in all of utahi deeply recommend the curry, gyoza, and onigiri. its damn delicious, so is their other foods but those are my faves
The amount of time and money I spend here is laughable, but the real kicker is how good their house-made food is. Go for an order of gyoza and udon for true happiness
Nice selection of Japanese goods. Very happy to see them selling all the condiments I wanted - even momoya garlic rayu! Prices are a bit higher than I am used to (from cali where theres a lot more options for Asian markets) but overall, satisfied with the options and I think it is fair. Not much produce/fish/meats though, but nice section of frozen foods. I also like that they have a wide variety of tofu options including aburage.
Adorable grocery store. Owners and staff are so friendly. The lunch service is amazing even during these weird times.
My first time visiting. Lovely space, tons of items! And the Onigiri was so good!
Delicious prepared foods and lots of grocery variety. This place is a treasure of the valley.
The guy was very helpful. He helped getting me the rice balls🍙，condiment and spice that I was not familiar with and couldn’t remember the names —Okonomi sauce and Shimici. I just remembered the first letter of those names. 👍
Great food here
For Japanese stuff, theyve got all the things! Super nice staff, a great selection and delicious ready-made meals.
Best place to get authentic Japanese ingredients and snacks. Great lunches and bento boxes if you can get there around lunch time, too.
My wife really likes authentic anything-Japanese This store despite being a small grocer is probably as close as your going to get to Authentic Japanese market here in Utah.
So glad this place is here. Such a joy to see a authentic Japanese store in town.
Best selection of Japanese food. Very authentic.
Best ramen in town! Authentic Japanese cuisine impeccable service. Great market selection for all your Japanese favorites. Good
I absolutely love this place. Everything about it is authentic, the food is amazing, the groceries unique, the staff, fantastic.
The place was o. K. But the staff seemed to snub me a bit
A very good store for Japanese food. Excellent selection of tofu. Excellent selection of misu. Lovely store. Items always fresh. Have some prepared foods for purchase, always fresh, always good.
Their selection of Japanese items cant be beat. The bento look exactly like what youd find in a supermarket in Japan. Its a warm clean atmosphere. The only reason I gave three stars is because everything is substantially more expensive than at other Asian shops in town. I would only go here for very rare items.
The kitchen cooks the most authentic Japanese food I have found in SLC. Their togo bento boxes are a staple in my diet. They have produce thats hard to find at Smiths or Walmart. Id recommend the pickles. Its family owned and the staff is kind. Sage market has satisfied the nostalgic yearning in my heart for Japanese convenient stores.
Love this place
This place is a little small but I absolutely love what they are doing here. The owners are very nice and have such a unique store. The food is very very good if its what you are into. And it happens that Im into it, and always like trying something new.
I love this place! The atmosphere is inviting and a lot of fun to experience a Japanese style market. The staff are friendly and I recommend trying their lunch if you visit within the right time.
They have an excellent selection of products. The shining star is the delicious ramen bar! The sweetest most wonderful staff too.
Love this place. I grew up in Seattle and was always enamored by Uwajimaya (in Seattle), and Japan-Sage Market feels like a miniature Uwajimaya in many ways.
Japan Sage Market is the best place in the valley for japanese groceries and foods
Cool store Japanese and other asian goodies. I have been going there since I was very young.
This is the best Japanese grocery store in the valley. They had everything Ive been looking for since moving back to the States from Japan. The owners are very pleasant and will help you find what you are looking for. They have traditional food and are not overpriced. And the lunch here is delicious and the service is quick. I highly recommend this market to anyone wanting to find traditional Japanese cuisine.
Its an awesome little store that has a lot of the things that you miss from Japan. They also serve food till around 1 pm. Ramen and a couple of Japanese traditional dishes.
Friendly market with a nice but small selection of Japanese goods. Their restaurant is great although I rarely eat there. The biggest thing to note is the parking is small and there is a big dip coming off of the street to watch out for. Other than that, I love shopping here as its like being back in Japan. Hard to get these goods in Utah.
I love this little hidden gem. Ive been coming to this market since high school and Ive never been disappointed. Stepping into this market always makes me feel like Im back in Japan. Dont forget to try their onigiri its the best.
Delicious lunch menu items. My favorite is the Okinawa soba.
These folks know how to bring the great Japanese cuisine items to us here in Utah! We love the Yakisoba in our family!
Real Japanese products to include amazing dishes!!The food they make is legit!! Its next best thing to my mom(Japanese)s cooking!! She likes eating there, too!!Staff are so friendly and helpful, and Im always amazed at their selections. They add new stuff constantly, too.
This place is amazing!!! I enjoy coming here to eat their delicious ramen, and to buy goodies! It is very well maintained!
Really good food and the owners are great! The only down side is the kitchen closes at 2pm. I would give a 5 star rating if they were open later.
This place is awesome! Great prices and even greater people. The owners are such good people. This is a local shop I will support as long as Im allowed through their doors.
The only Japanese market in SLC proper (that I know of), and one of the better ones that I’ve ever been to in such a relatively small town. They carry a bunch of oddities as well as most of the standards that I’d hope to find, and their prices are astoundingly low.
Small Japanese market with a great selection of goods and a surprisingly tasty ramen they serve until 2. Staff is exceptionally polite and friendly as well.
Theyve got the good stuff. Nice people. Easy access
The Japan Sage Market is an amazing store, they have everything Japanese; from Lacquer-ware to food items, they have it all! Seriously! I cannot get over how welcoming the staff are, or how well-stocked, clean and delicious their food, both packaged and fresh, is.Addendum(s):- Just tried one of their Salted-Plum rice-cakes and, honestly, (even going-in thinking it was sweetish) it was DELICIOUS! My god, so simple, yet so fresh and delicious I want another!I also HIGHLY Reccomend you try the following:(Brand - Product name. (Description))1) Calbee- Seaweed & Salt Potato Chips. (Slightly salted, umami-rich seaweed potato-chips)2) Kasugai- Milk Candy: Plum Flavour. (Im eating one now, my god, no actual milk, just soy and DELICIOUS!!) (Rice, wrapped in dried Nori Seaweed with Salted plum jam in the bottom)3) Sangaria- Royal Milk Tea.4) Sangaria- Ramu Bottle. (Excellent flavours include: Melon, Lemon- Original, and Strawberry)5) Maeda-En- Lychee Flavoured Sherbert. (With Coconut Jelly)6) (Brand unkown- Cannot interpret Kanji or Hirgana!)- Seiki Konpeito- Sakura/ Wasurenagusa/ etc. (These are varities OF Seiki Konpeito)7) Calbee- Jagarico. (Seaweed flavour) (Rich Umami Taste, ALMOST BETTER than the First product I mentioned, almost! Although... unlike product one they resealable and believe or not, MORE savoury. Theyre also, delicious!)8) Meiji- Black Chocolate. (A chocolate with lesss than 70% Cacao that Im now eating which is, honestly, better than Hersheys.... DANG! Its sweet, but neither the sweet nor the bitter overpower each other- on to piece two, three, *muffled* FOUR!....Its an EXCELLENT dark chocolate with nicely bitter after- and under-taste.)
Great little Japanese market. I like to get miso and good soy sauce here.
