New Jerky Mfg

Located in the lobby of the SF Market, this store/​stall sells those snacky items such as dried and wet plums, jerky, dried cuttlefish, dried squid etc.
I love eating this sort of stuff. In Hawaii, they’re called crack seed stores, but those have a Japanese or Hawaiian flavor to them. The ones at this store comes from Taiwan so the flavor is slightly different.
The man at this place was so sweet. He let us sample stuff before buying. We ended up buying 3 types of sour plums: one was cooked over charcoal so it has a smoky flavor to it. One was red in color but I don’t remember what it was (this was my favorite). The other one was infused with green tea. Mmmm all were delicious. I can’t stop eating them.
Everything is sold by weight so you can get as much or as little as you wish. They have many locations dotted everywhere from Alhambra to San Gabriel to Westminster.
