Uwajimaya

Several people have told me that there is an oriental market in Seattle but for some reason we have never checked it out. 

Since Memorial Day was cool and rainy, we decided to head up to Seattle to do some sightseeing and to potentially meet up with friends in town on their move back from Okinawa.  That, unfortunately, fell through and we weren't able to meet up with the Cerens, but we did manage to have fun at the Seattle Science Museum. 

But the real fun was when we found the market - Uwajimaya.  It was like a flash back to shopping at Jusco in Okinawa!  All our favorite foods that I thought I would never get to taste again are available at this wonderful place!  We found mochi and inari wrappers and udon and fresh miso and even fresh Okinawan sweet potatoes and goya!  Their drink aisle was like shopping at the drink machines with aloe jelly drinks and cans of bean soup. This is just part of the stash we bought...

We will definitely be shopping here again!!!
