Mama Yoshi Mini Mart

Mama Yoshi Mini Mart brings the konbini experience to Ridgewood, and it works. Come here to stock up on a small but expertly-curated selection of Japanese pantry staples (you’ll find a few different kinds of furikake, kewpie mayo, and the like) and excellent food. There are smaller bites like onigiri and kurobuta skewers as well as full meals, like oyakodon. The chicken katsu sandwich is especially worthwhile. We love the spicy version, and while we can’t confirm this, it almost tastes like it’s coated in a Buldak ramen flavor packet.
