Naniwa, Japanese Market in McLean - Closed

[goodeats]

RIP to Naniwa in Mclean. Cannot find further information and the store is just empty. Was my go-to place because Daruma was too far.

Daruma is closed. Drove up today and it was pretty much completely empty aside from some shelving and refrigeration units. ETA: Ren's Ramen is still open.

Naniwa in Mclean is also gone, apparently it closed a few months and the owners 'retired'. Other than the new place on U Street, Hana Japanese Market, the Washington DC metro area has lost its Japanese grocery stores. While Super H Mart and other Korean or Chinese super grocery stores have Japanese products usually they are lacking higher quality ones.
