Great Japanese grocery store with a good selection of Japanese and Korean groceries. Staff is always friendly. Love that you can get your grocery shopping done and pick up a bite to eat as well. We always enjoy their poke although it's a bit pricey but the quality is fresh.

Best Japanese market in Sacramento! They have a huge variety of snacks, drinks, teas, and candy. They even sell the viral Korean drink pouches here. They have warm bento boxes, fresh sushi, and sashimi. The produce is often very good. We came here to get some ingredients for lettuce wraps and the lettuce was so healthy and clean. They even had fresh shitake mushrooms which were very delicious. Great spot to do groceries or to grab a quick lunch.

Love shopping here. Even the door security is there to serve and make you feel welcome. We always find such great food here. Sweets, kitchen items, noodles, and more!!! The staff is very helpful! There is an Asian store closer to me but I choose Oto's even though it's a bit of a drive simply because of the staff and welcoming service.

I've been coming here since before the pandemic, but have never done a review. I was recently back in the store, so it's time for a review. The place is clean, well stocked, and everybody is friendly. I like this store a lot. It's primarily Japanese items, but they also have other Asian items, they have a good produce section, they have a good grab and go section, and a very decent meat and seafood section. They sell kitchenware, And also have a frozen section. The grab and go section includes bento boxes, as well as Japanese and American premade items.. they also have Hawaiian Sun juices, American sodas, and even Japanese drinks. On my most recent visit, I had the deep-fried oysters, and they were beyond delicious. I also had a Japanese lemon Pepsi zero, which was also extremely good. They have a quite a few different kinds of rice, quite a few different kinds of teas, different kinds of Ramen, Japanese and American snacks and desserts, Some of the items, like the premium meats and seafood, and some of the imported items, they can be on the higher end, but reasonable for the quality that you get. I love to come in for my zippy's chili from Hawaii. They have the chili, and they have other Zippys items too. For a box of zippy's chili, I paid 20 bucks. That sounds expensive, but there were two packets of the chili, and so for $10 a packet, that's not much more than I would pay in the restaurant. This is a great store. I will keep coming back. Thank you.

I come here specifically for sencha green tea, but their produce, meat, and snack selections are amazing. The sushi/hot bar chef is somewhat of a neighborhood celebrity and they always have great looking items. It's very clean, well stocked, and a frequent visit of mine!

What deals were to be found yesterday. Ground pork was a great deal and for $11 something we got some fresh salmon verse the $14 dollars or so regular price. We got some tasty shrimp chips. They are in the shape of a French fry with a swirl. They are deliciously crunchy, but have a hint too much of shrimp flavor to it which is why they are called shrimp chips, just not my thing, but our guests and husband loved them. They are totally addictive. They have a vast selection of drinks, anime soda, nectars, sake, and other drinks. This is a must come to store if you are looking for good Japanese goods, especially food.

This is an awesome Asian market in the Sacramento area. They have all the traditional goodies you could want, plus a mad collection of those Funko Pop bobble head figurines. Oto's Marketplace is clean, organized and well stocked. They have a parking lot that's a good size, and the prices on most items are very reasonable. They also have sale items marked throughout the store as well. You'll find housewares, snacks, fresh produce and a large variety of rice. Those big 20 lb. bags come in handy for large families. I would definitely come here again, and I recommend you do, too. The cashiers are fast and friendly. Bonus: it doesn't smell like your typical fishy Asian grocery store, either!! Lol

My local American supermarket has 2 kinds of Miso Paste. Oto's has 57. No, wait, that's Heinz. But they do have dozens, and that depth of selection is what makes Oto's so outstanding. If you want Japanese groceries, Oto's is almost certainly going to have it. Also, they continue to offer great service. I continue to call to order a few boxes, so I can make sure they have what I want before making the long trip there. They don't seem to mind at all, and I really appreciate it.
