My kids and I stopped by the new Daiso store in the Mesa Asian District during its grand opening today. Daiso is sort of like Five Below but with a Japanese pedigree. There has been a location in Chandler for a while, but the Mesa one is brand new, and this was my first visit to one. Like a dollar store, it sells some of just about everything. Two sections of relevance to this board are the Japanese snacks and convenience foods located near the front and the kitchenwares towards the back. There's little here that can't be found at H Mart next door or at the Neko Mart in Tempe, but it was still fun to see the inventory here.
If you lose your rice cooker's paddle and you like cats, you can buy a replacment (paddle, not cat) instant noodles gummy candies every type of Pocky imaginable curry mixes

Re: Daiso
Awesome! I just read that there will be a 3rd one opening around 59th Ave and Northern, in Glendale -- which makes it kinda-sorta reasonably driveable for me.

Re: Daiso
Do they have a frozen section?
I'm on the hunt for these after a friend in Vegas told me about them...
If anyone knows where I can get these, please hook a brother up! #alwaysorderdessert

Re: Daiso
There was a small case of ice cream bars up front (not the same brand pictured), but I didn't see a larger frozen section. I will double check during my trip to Spice Spirit on Friday.

Re: Daiso
Looks like at least the H Mart in Manhattan carries them

Re: Daiso
I just visited again. Aside from a small case of Fruitfull bars, there is no frozen food section.
