For most people in DC, going to a the local Asian food mart means shopping at the international section of Whole Foods. But not anymore! Because there's a new Asian Mart in town, Hana Market, and it's right on U and 17th. Don't expect Hana to be your Asian food mart savior -- it's more like a convenience store, which means it's TINY. But they're pretty well stocked with obscure Japanese products. They've got all the necessary Japanese condiments (including instant Japanese curry mix!), a selection of fresh Japanese vegetables you can't pick up at Giant, like enoki mushrooms and napa cabbage, and even the proper cooking tools for making sushi and shabu shabu.
