Get ready, Orange County food lovers! We have major news for anyone who dreams of authentic Japanese ingredients, perfect grab-and-go sushi, and slurping hot ramen: Mitsuwa Marketplace is officially opening its doors in Cypress, California, on November 1, 2025!
Located right at 4955 Katella Avenue, this isn’t just a grocery store; it’s a vibrant, immersive destination designed to be your ultimate one-stop shop for the best flavors and experiences of Japan. Think of it as a culinary passport right in the heart of your neighborhood.
“Cypress is a diverse and dynamic community, and we look forward to welcoming both longtime Mitsuwa fans and new customers to experience authentic Japanese food, culture, and hospitality,” shared Takeshi Izuma, CEO/President of Mitsuwa Corporation.
What to Expect on Opening Day
You’ll want to be there for the Grand Opening Ceremony on Saturday, November 1st, starting at 10:00 a.m. Mitsuwa is kicking things off in style with exciting live Japanese Taiko drum performances and special promotions running throughout the weekend. It’s the perfect way to welcome this beloved Japanese institution to its newest Southern California home!
More Than Just Groceries
While Mitsuwa is famous for its signature selection of high-quality Japanese goods—from fresh meat and seafood to unique snacks and cosmetics—the Cypress location is stepping up the game with a focus on prepared foods.
The new shop will feature an expanded hot and cold deli, making life infinitely easier for busy families and serious foodies. This deli will offer a broader selection of freshly prepared Japanese dishes, authentic sushi, perfectly packed Japanese-style bento boxes, and delicious grab-and-go meals.
As Izuma noted, this expanded deli is all about convenience: “We want to make it easy for busy families and food lovers to enjoy delicious, authentic Japanese meals – whether they’re dining in our store or taking them home.”
The Legendary Food Court
And of course, it wouldn’t be Mitsuwa without the glorious food court! The Cypress location will boast a curated food court with over 140 seats, showcasing popular Japanese dining concepts. That means you can satisfy every single craving, all in one spot, with options ranging from ramen and sushi to desserts and teas.
Mitsuwa has spent over 25 years connecting American communities with authentic Japanese culture, and this new Cypress location is a huge, exciting step in that mission. For more information, please visit Mitsuwa.com.
