Evernew is easily passable from the outside. Looking in the windows it looks to be a 'tacky' touristy shop for all things that you didn't know that you wanted from Japan. But no. Delve further into the shop and you will occupying the upstairs and now newly refurbished downstairs a second shop area that is an excellent oriental food store. And in York. Who knew!

I'm very excited by this little gem of a place. Finding somewhere to shop in york that isn't the M&S, Tesco etc usual haunts is tricky. But in Evernew you can cruise Hello Kitty trinkets AND find some decent , and Japanese authentised Miso soup. Other highlights include silken tofu, fresh bean sprouts, a range of unidentifiable packeted fish related food stuffs, ice cream, cans of what can only be described as 'stuff', but all genuiene Asian food.

Evernew is a family run business, who are friendly and helpful. I'm such a regular they even bowed at me on my last visit. Shopping here is just like stepping into a store in Tokyo, and with so many overseas students in the york area you would be forgiven for mistakeningly thinking that you had been transported into the cosmo metropolis. That is until you step outside and its yorkshire rain again.

In york? Shop here and find something authentic, distinctive and a little unusual for dinner. Good sushi kits too.
