Wow this place is awesome - saw the yelp reviews yesterday so I went right after work today. I sort of recognized the cashier but could not place her. I saw some really neat things in here - fresh veggies, prepared bentos, onigiri, super reasonably priced sashimi and roe, coconut pocky, lots of yuzu-infused items, dashi stock....oh yeah and Japanese beer and a nice sake selection...I need to get the blueberry sparkling sake next time!\n\nI ended up with some great treats, and have to return. Several people asked if I needed help, if I was finding everything okay, etc. I left with some neat finds. At the register, the cashier asked if I had recently eaten at Yokohama Kaigenro and did I order an ikura salmon bowl? Amazing...she remembered me and my order! And turns out, she was my awesome waitress (see my review, where I mentioned great service). She gave me a $1 off coupon for Yokohama after that. Such a cool place; I definitely will return!!!\n\nUpdate 3/19/10: I came back at got blueberry sparkling sake, a mackerel-japanese eggplant bento, and they have sushi rolls like onigiri where the nori is separate from the rice and stays crisp and you put it together yourself. The bento is yummy and I got the eel-cucumber roll. They also sell my fave ito en Jasmine Green tea and if I had not been returning to work I would have purchased some Japanese eggplant to cook. mmm!
