Many thanks to Jimmy Suruki for having me visit his Japanese Market which has the largest, freshest seafood and ready to eat foods anywhere in this area. I highly suggest stopping by there and trying some of their selections. They are located at: 71 E. 4 Ave, San Mateo, CA

Don't miss the excellent bento meals at this popular supermarket.

Known for its exceptional selection of fresh, sashimi-grade fish, Suruki Supermarket is a must-visit for the many Japanese Americans in the Peninsula. Originally opened in Burlingame by grocery Shuji Suruki in 1980, the store stocks Japanese imports and ingredients, as well as house-made bento boxes, seaweed salad by the pound and sushi. For lunch, pick up hand-size, sandwich-like onigirazu stuffed with Spam and scrambled eggs or one of the 20 types of bento boxes on offer. (Fun fact: Pre-cut sashimi and prepared foods are steeply discounted at the end of the day.)
