Hakata Market
If you, like us, are incapable of passing a Japanese market without stopping in for a little treat, you should know about Clinton Hill’s Hakata Market. At this small spot on Fulton Street, you can grab onigiri for lunch, curry bricks for dinner, and Pocky sticks for good measure. There are shelves of Japanese products and refrigerator cases full of very cute mushrooms and beverages, and in the back, there’s a kitchen where they mold the onigiri and cut sushi rolls. It’s the sort of place where you might enter needing one thing and leave with 10, including a flavor of shrimp chip you haven’t had the pleasure of sampling yet. Stop for a satisfying, on-the-go meal, and keep in mind that after 7pm all prepared food is 50% off.
