Somehow managed to make it to Maruichi twice this week after not being able to go for a while. 🥳 Yesterday’s lunch. 👇

Although the state lifted the mask mandate last weekend, Brookline still requires masks in public and Maruichi still requires them in the store. They’re providing masks now which they weren’t before.

Soooo much onigiri 🍙🍙🍙yesterday!

Took pictures of ramen bowls 🍜 for friends who are on the hunt. Not a huge selection but decent. Very sad that Tokai is closed so I can’t send them there.

On Tuesday I lucked out and got the last chirashi! 😋

Was surprised to see that Maruichi has fresh wasabi and natto maki. I can’t remember ever seeing either in a Japanese grocery store in the US. 😮

A friend told me yesterday that Maruichi has opened a 2nd location in Arlington. Was looking through their Facebook and found out they also carry fresh wasabi.

Not sure when I’ll have time to check out the Arlington Heights location. It’s in a space that used to be occupied by Prime, a butcher shop.
