Market Skirmish #1: Nijiya Market vs. Safeway

Nijiya                                                 Safeway

Produce: 5                                          Produce: 7
Price: 5                                              Price: 7
Decorations: 3             vs.                  Decorations: 7
Service: 4                                          Service: 6
Range of Goods: 5                       Range of goods: 8

Total: 22                                          Total: 35

Safeway is the winner. As much as I hate to say it, Safeway wins. While Nijiya specializes in Japanese cuisine, Safeway has food from many places on Earth. Also, Nijiya's white walls can't beat the "charm" of Safeway.

Winner is Yuki Sushi. Yuki Sushi in Santa Clara has such a great atmosphere, backing up the awesome food and the great decorations. Gombei, though equal in food, falls apart in the other categories.

Zazie                                                  Scoma's

Zazie wins here. Scoma's was just too overpriced, and the atmosphere couldn't overcome Zazie's. Otherwise, it was a close battle.
