Thoughts: Located at the 2nd floor of SS16's AEON Big are a series of "Japanese themed" shops offering mostly 來自日本的二手物品 Second Hand items (All from Japan) like 家具 Furniture, 小雕像 Figurines, 愛好物品 Hobby items, 餐具 Tableware, 日本傳統 Japanese traditional, 包包 Bags, 日本復古巷物品 Vintage Lane items, Camping 露營設備 Equipment, etc plus a 日式咖啡館 Cafe called "J喫茶 J-Kissa", and these shops I believe all belong to the same group of stores called "the 勿体無い MOTTAINAI Stores".
It is interesting to note that most of the products here are imported directly from Japan and are basically 日本二手產品 second-hand products, but some of them are new. This is consistent with the theme of 勿体無い (もったいない) MOTTAINAI which is "Not to Waste it", and that "Someone's waste is someone's Treasure". 勿体無い MOTTAINAI is a Japanese expression meaning "a sense of regret concerning waste when the intrinsic value of an object or resource is not properly utilized". The expression "勿体無い Mottainai!" can be uttered alone as an exclamation when something useful, such as food or time, is wasted, meaning roughly "哦，真是浪費 Oh, what a waste!"
The "日本回收店 recycle shop" called [J-Hunt] is the same group store as [J-Kissa], and its head office is in 愛知縣 Aichi prefecture. And [J-Hunt] opened on October 25, 2019 and [J-Kissa] started operation in June, 2020 which was just after MCO1.0 ended. There are quite a few good reviews about the 日本スタイルの喫茶店 Japanese Cafe [J喫茶 J-Kissa] in the internet by Japanese who are in Malaysia. The Café opens from 11am for lunch and dinner times, the Café will be ready for Dine-in again in 1-2 weeks time according to the friendly Japanese Chef.

Today's lunch is the rm$5 "日本照燒雞肉雞蛋飯三明治 Teriyaki Chicken & Egg Rice Sandwich" with interesting 柚子(ゆず) Yuzu dressing plus, 日本辣椒 Japanese chili, and 蛋黃醬 Mayonnaise. There is also another Rice Sandwich choice "玉子煙熏雞肉火腿飯糰 Tamago smoked chicken ham Onigirazu" with the same price. However, worth mentioning is the slightly expensive but definitely tasty rm$18 "北海道奶油燉肉 Hokkaido Cream Stew" or "北海道クリームシチュー", the sweet creamy concoction is 燉雞塊、玉米和土豆醬 chicken cubes, corn, and potato stewed in cream sauce served with vegetables like 胡蘿蔔 carrots, 玉米 corn, 土豆 potato, 西蘭花 broccoli, and served with 各種麵包 assorted breads.
The little Japanese Café Kiosk "J喫茶 J-Kissa" will be available for Dine-in fairly soon. Looking forward to savor J-Kissa's 日式咖啡 Japanese style Coffee especially the "手工滴濾咖啡 Hand Drip Coffee". The Chef also highly recommended his "沖繩辣炸玉米餅飯 Okinawa Spicy Taco Rice", "橫濱芝士咖哩多利亞魚 Yokohama Cheese Curry Doria" and his new and latest creation "焗羅勒雞肉通心粉 Basil Chicken Macaroni Gratin".
Fun Facts: おにぎらず Onigirazu is a variant of お握り Onigiri, both are Japanese-style rice sandwich fillings that are wrapped using 海藻/海苔 seaweed. The name おにぎらず Onigirazu is quite interesting and is a term that was derived from both the word お握りOnigiri (English translation: 飯糰 rice ball) which means to 握る(にぎる) nigiru, or "手捏飯 To mold (rice) in one’s hands", and 握らず(おにぎらず) Onigirazu, where "razu" means the opposite, which is "不用手捏飯 "To not mold in one’s hands"; it is probably due to the larger size of the Onigirazu! Essentially, おにぎらず Onigirazu means a rice ball that does not need to be molded in one's hands. While the Japanese rice ball sandwich called Onigiri has its origin from the the 鎌倉時代 Kamakura period in the 12-13th Century and became more popular in the 江戸時代 Edo Period (17th-18th Century). However, the word おにぎらず Onigirazu only first appeared in Japanese culture in 1990s and interestingly it is invented by a Comic character (a married salary salesman) in a Comic series called "妙廚老爹 クッキングパパ Cooking Papa" from the pens of the 漫畫創作者 Manga creator 上山栃 Ueyama Tochi. Instead of his wife, the Salesman which is the main character of "妙廚老爹 "Cooking Papa"" also prepares the foods for his family. And in one of the 漫畫系列 Manga series, 妙廚老爹 "Cooking Papa" invents おにぎらず Onigirazu, which, is his version of an Onigiri, and it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare. He basically spreads cooked rice on a large piece of 乾海藻 dried seaweed, or 海苔 nori, then proceeds to pile on various non-traditional rice ball fillings, then quickly folds his おにぎらず Onigirazu closed, cuts them in half, and the result is two halves that look like but double the size of an onigiri sandwich. おにぎらず Onigirazu was an instant hit and became such a popular food that many restaurants started to include the dish in their menu. It was also chosen by "ぐるなび総研 Gurunavi Research Institute" (one of the role of GRI being Japan's authority in Gourmet & Restaurant Guide) as 2015's food item of the year after the sandwich-like dish became a sensation more than 20 years following its introduction in a Manga series.Food today: 7 / 10 👍👍😋😋
