Japanese markets

I love the local Japanese market. I don't have a clue what most of the stuff is, yet I could wander around for hours :) So fun! You can also score a variety of sake. I really need to explore some of the other ethnic markets.

You said you could get mochi (which I love) at the korean markets. Some random knowledge I just found when looking up mochi on wikipedia: Mochi is a Japanese food. The Korean name for the nearly identical food is "chapssaltteok". I'm curious how does the Korean mochi compare to the Mochi you get at Trader Joe's? Mango mochi rocks :)
