There’s a new shop offering Japanese products in the Shops of St. Avards in Charlottetown, Sumikko Market.
I read a CBC News story about it back in October, but driving by St. Avards in the time since I could never seem to find it. On Saturday I decided to double down, and found it is, indeed, there, right beside “Everything IT.”
While the shop sells all manner of Japanese sundries, from candy to iced coffee, the standout for me is that from Monday to Friday, over the lunch hour, they serve onigiri–Japanese rice balls–something that heretofore there’s not been a source for in Charlottetown. They have two types, tuna and grilled salmon. And they are lovely: just the thing for a quick lunch or snack.

We have tried them and were also impressed. MM makes them at home, almost always tuna, and they are equally good; however, she makes them only with fresh rice and we don't make it every day.
My kids like the Meiji brand
My kids like the Meiji brand products. Worth a try. Their vanilla ice cream was one of my go to favourites on a hot day (or any day).
