On January 2nd, we went to Mitstuwa Marketplace in New Jersey.
We arrived at the market, but we had a hard time finding a parking spot.
It looks like the underground of a Japanese Department store.

There were so many people in the place, many Japanese, but more than half were other Asians.

I expected that the food to be served in individual restaurants, but there was just Food Court. You order food and you have to find a place to sit. Again, it was hard time to find a table.
We ordered some Ramen at Santoka.
We waited quite a while to get to our orders.

I was little disappointed. the soup and toppings were good, but the noddles were too hard. If they were cooked a little bit longer, it would be better.

I have wanted to eat a Japanese style Strawberry short cake for so long. I got a cake at Italian Tomato which is a chain restaurant in Japan. I used to go eat cakes there when I was a teenager in Japan.

The cake was good: the sponge was soft and the taste was same as I remembered, but the strawberries were too big.

We had a great drink. I don’t know what it was called, something with almond milk and tapioca at Tokyo Hanten.This drink was so good!

It is better go visit this place on a not so busy day. You can sit, relax and look at the view of the Hudson River and Manhattan from the food court.
