Located inside fugetsu, you can wander through the selection of food and anime figurines and novelties in the back. The food is arranged by hot foods, refrigerated foods, and room temperature foods. This is a takeout place, no tables. Located in the same plaza as Mitsuwa, so parking can be hit or miss. I opted for the okonomiyaki bento which came with a gyu-don, takoyaki, and okonomiyaki. Everything was quite good. I came around 5 and everything still looked and tasted fresh. Might try some of the chirashi offerings in the future. The staff is very nice and greet you as you come in and ring you up pretty quickly. I have never seen a long line. I like that they let you look through the selections and dont approach you in the store. Suits my introverted nature.

The greatest onigiri (Japanese rice ball) spot of all time! I tried the spicy salmon and mackerel. I prefer the mackerel, but they’re both delicious. Even if I refrigerate a rice ball for 2 days, the rice is still soft enough to eat without reheating. Amazing!

This is an absolute hidden gem! I absolutely love their fresh sashimi and poke bowls. Their deep fried shrimp onigiri rolls are melt in your mouth.I would go here everyday if I could

Stumbled upon this little shop while walking around the plaza. I love love that there's a variety of different options on the different foods you can get. Everything we got was delicious! It was actually really difficult to choose what we wanted to buy. They also have some sushi, chirashit, onigiri, and lots of drinks to choose from. Cute small place - very much a grab and go! The people working there weren't all up in your business but they were very nice when checking out.

This place is a small and it's in the corner plaza near N7 ! They have a wide range of Bentos, Roman, Tehran, salads , Kim bap! Sashimi and different fried foods my favorite one is the cheese pork cutlet!!! I love everything here. It's good to come early in the morning because it's all fresh. There is parking so you can park in the parking lot. I love how they turn this into a deli.

Good assortment of ready to eat items. We like the karaage and kushikushi skewers and some of the bentos

I always enjoy shopping for my lunch here since there are many pleasantly heated / chilled, fresh lunch options. They use top notch quality ingredients.

The black pepper karaage, that's all you need to know- DO NOT leave here without it! It can sell out by the afternoon, so come during the lunch hours if you can. Shalala Deli is located inside the "Fugetsu" store/building. In addition to items from Shalala Deli, you can also purchase prepared food items from: Fugestu, Rokko, Shalala Deli, and Doshirak. I believe they also added items from Koja Kitchen, but I don't remember seeing their section when I went. I ended up trying: -Black Pepper Karaage ($5.50): SO GOOD- a must try! They keep this dish under heat lamps at the store so you can eat it right away if you'd like. I didn't eat this until dinner time and re-heated it in the toasted oven, and it was still delicious. The skin/exterior of the chicken was nice and crispy, and I wonder if they use a little mochi in the batter since it had a subtle chewiness. The black pepper flavor was subtle, but the chicken was very flavorful, especially after you added the packet of Kewpie mayo on top. -Short Rib Onigiri ($5): Solid onigiri, and this was actually a giant portion of rice once you flatten it out. The short rib was tender, but not super flavorful. I would rather purchase their salmon ikura onigiri the next time around. I will be back for more of their black pepper karaage! Parking in this complex was fine during the weekday, but it can get very busy/crowded during the weekends.

I LOVE the concept of a Japanese konbini in the states. I mean, this was what I've been dreaming of forever. However, this place doesn't hit all the notes. The okonomiyaki are dry when being held like that. Rice balls and bentos are decent but way overpriced. Why would I pay that amount for a bento that's been sitting around than a fresh one from a mom and pop Japanese restaurant? Flavors of the salmon shiso rice ball were great but I think clover bakery right next door has authentic rice balls for half the price. Hope this place gets better because I really want a Japanese convenient store like Famima! agaib

I placed a catering order for my daughter's birthday party. I just had to tell them the budget and everything was sooo delicious!! Both quality and quantity was great and everyone was very satisfied with their food. This place is really reliable and I will definitely repeat for other occasions.

This place is the ANSWER! I've always wondered when we would see a casual hot bento establishment in this area. Japan has been nailing the grab and go scene for decades, and it's by far one of the things I love most about the cuisine. Accessible and delicious are my food values. Sha la la deli has its own section inside of Fugetsu rife with a myriad of delectable options. Stacked onigiri triangles, salt and pepper chicken karate, daily bento special with golden runny yolk... need I say more? Grab an asahi black on the way out and you're set!
