Mitsuwa Marketplace in Edgewater sits along River Road just across the Hudson River from Manhattan and serves as a prominent Japanese grocery and food court destination for both North Jersey and New York City area shoppers. The grocery aisles are spaced generously with imported Japanese pantry staples such as rice, dried noodles, bottled sauces, and seasonings. Packaged snacks, candies, and a broad variety of Japanese-branded drinks fill shelves and cooler sections designed for easy browsing. Fresh produce and seasonal vegetables commonly used in Japanese cooking are interspersed with chilled cases holding tofu and prepared side dishes. Premium seafood and chilled fish suitable for sashimi, as well as cuts of fresh meat often used in Japanese home cooking, are featured at dedicated counters.
A cluster of chilled displays offers a variety of ready-to-eat meals, including sushi and sashimi trays, bentos, and other prepared Japanese items created in the store daily. The indoor food court occupies a large portion of the space with multiple dining vendors serving hot Japanese dishes such as ramen, tempura, donburi rice bowls, and other cooked items popular among locals. Mitsuwa New Jersey also connects with several adjacent specialty shops under the same roof or nearby, including a large Japanese bookstore operated by Kinokuniya and gift shops offering cultural goods, unique snacks, and Japanese lifestyle products.
On weekends and peak meal hours, parking lots and food court seating can fill quickly, with many shoppers arriving early to secure spaces and tables.
