Marukai

Sadly, this store will be closing in early 2013. They said probably February or March when the lease runs out.
Everything in the store is 30% off right now:
Most of the food is gone, but there are still lots of dishes and housewares left:
Bye Marukai! It was nice while it lasted!

On the 2^nd level of windward mall is where you will find this delight. This store does not make you have a membership to shop there like the larger stores, so you can walk right in and shop your heart out! There is tons of crazy, fun, useful, yummy, yucky, unusual– just everything. Stocking stuffers galore!!! Dont be afraid to try new foods or candies, they are often very good!

Nice selection of interesting Japanese necessities (musubi maker, candies, ramen, etc). I especially like their section of Hello Kitty items which range from stationery letter sets, reusable bags, cooking utensils to crab meat pickers. Oh and don’t forget to get your disposable Hello Kitty poncho!

This place has a great mix of japanese products. From sushi molds to mochi crunch, the things you find here are dope. I love that you don’t need a membership to shop here (not a fan of having to be a member to shop at Marukai stores). They also have a great selections of snacks as well. Sometimes you don’t want to eat mall foods and you need a burner for your wok as well.

Neat Japanese store located in the Windward Mall– second floor (not sure if it’s related to the one located at the Ward Centers). This was our second time here at this mall, so I wanted to check it out again.
I don’t remember the food and snacks, the first time though. Jade snacks (local company) are 99 cents each– different kinds of rice crackers, chocolate covered sunflower seeds, and coconut chunks. I noticed stationery, neat home gadgets as well as bento box supplies– that’s why I like checking out this store, neat stuff. I didn’t look at every aisle but I did browse most of them. Nice setup, neatly organized, and the prices are visible.
Whenever we visit this mall, I’m sure that we will make it a point to check it out again.
