Japanese grocery store in Mexico City
Hello! I am a fan of nihon ryouri and I know a couple of japanese grocery stores in Mexico City. Mexico is strictly part of North America, but given that the US and Canada have their own sections, I will post here in Central / South America.
Name of the Store: Super Oriental / Super Kise
Address: División del Norte No. 2515 esq. Londres, Col. del Carmen, Coyoacán, Mexico City, Mexico
Phone: + 52 (55) 5688-2981, +52 (55) 5688-4298
Webpage: http://www.superoriental.com/
General information: The store is small, in the corner of a well-known avenue in Mexico City. It has a wide selection of teas, Japanese candy, frozen and canned foods, seasonings (such as ajinomoto) and occasionally fresh imported vegetables such as daikon and napa. The store also has cookware and offers Japanese cooking classes.
I am in no way related to the owners of this store but I find it quite convenient. I love daifuku. :)

Re: Japanese grocery stores in Central/South ...
Never take a cooking class at Super Oriental in Mexico City. Although the store clerks are generally very kind and helpful, the teacher is rude and doesn't even answer questions during the sushi class, for example.The ingredients are all prepared so you don't even learn to do the most basic thing of making the rice for sushi. Oh, yes. She's very prompt about encouraging you to buy everything at her store.
Japanese grocery stores in Central America
I got SO excited when I saw this! I expected it to be ready though, just to give you a hand on some info:
I live in El Salvador (in Central America) and only store I could find so far -and that is near to me- is called "Yong Fong - Oriental Market", it is unknown to me wether they have a website but they have two locals one in Merliot area in Santa Tecla and another one in Escalon, in San Salvador (the capital)..
There is where I bought my rice to make some onigiri -thanks for the recipe!!! will be trying it soon- it offers many Japanese and other asian ingrediets, they dont sell fish though, like the one to be served with sushi..
I am not related nor work for the store just an offhand data i wanted to give you, if you want me to I can make a little research on more asian-japanese stores here in El Salvador, since I am not sure but I believe there are more near downtown... Hmm I guess I should try and get more accurate adresses too hehe =P
Ps. I love your site! =D
