Help me to assemble a comprehensive Japanese grocery store list!

I should have done this a long time ago, but hey, better late than ever. I'm going to try to assemble a list of Japanese grocery stores worldwide, that people can refer to. Obviously I cannot do this without your help! I can list info for places I've lived, and there have been some great comment posts in the past here that have included such info, but I'll try to put it all in one place.

So, please head on over to to this constantly updated page and add any information you have about in the comments!

I've added the categories Food related shopping places you shouldn't miss in Japan and Places that ship Japanese food-related things worldwide.

[Update:] Of course this turned out to be a way bigger job than I thought :) But I'll try to add as much as possible over the weekend. I've found that there are quite a lot of Japanese pages that list stores and so on, for expats obviously. I'm collecting those and adding them, together with your suggestions in the comments.

Japanese grocery store list

Submitted by maki on 24 January, 2008 - 21:19

This is an attempt to put together a set of lists of Japanese grocery stores around the world. Ambitious but with the help of Just Hungry readers, we hope to put together a definitive list. This is definitely a work in progress - please bookmark it and check back often. Note that Korean and Chinese groceries are also listed sometimes, since they often carry a lot of Japanese ingredients.
