South Bay Vegan

It's a good shop with a wide variety of models & figures, and the staff is knowledgeable. I do wish they'd stock more than just Mr Hobby paints, but ultimately I'm just glad to have an accessible shop that's local.

This shop is - in my humble opinion - the crown jewel of San Jose JapanTown. The proprietors are kind, and they provide a unique experience akin to late Shōwa era shopping in the quieter Tokyo districts. Ornate dishware, charming trinkets, vintage animation goods, and delightful surprises on every shelf. Serve your community and serve your soul by patronizing this humble cornerstone of Japanese-American life.
