Tokyo Central: Local Grocery Market with Hawaiian Brands

March 10, 2017

Tokyo Central Costa Mesa

Tokyo Central Costa MesaOutside of Hawaii, finding grocery markets with local kine foods has always been a struggle. Thankfully, there are three popular Japanese markets in Costa Mesa that carry Hawaiian foods: Mitsuwa, Seiwa, and Tokyo Central (formerly Marukai).

When Japanese corporation Don Quijote acquired the Marukai Market chain in 2013, they transitioned their Southern California locations to Tokyo Central. In 2015, the Costa Mesa location opened with the largest selection of products from popular Hawaiian brands!

Here are a few of the goodies I found during a recent visit:
