General notes on Germany: The biggest Japanese expat community is in the Düsseldorf area.
Updated May 2009.
Mailorder company based in Germany
- Ja-Mart is based in Germany and also states on their web site (which is in German, English and Japanese) that they ship to various countries in Europe. Besides food, they sell kitchenware, tableware, etc. including some 220V electrical appliances such as Zojirushi rice cookers.
- Comments on Ja-Mart: They tend to be rather slow in responding, though they do eventually ship! They sell some unusual items such as _natto kinase_ (natto spores) for making their own natto! For Swiss shoppers, they do ship to Switzerland though it’s not listed in their dropdown menu of countries. (maki)

Re: Japanese grocery stores in Germany
I've been to the one in Berlin and found everything I needed. Great collection. In case you get a chance to go, I thought German Travel Phrases and Vocuabluary was a great resource to brush up on my German.
Re: Japanese grocery stores in Germany
Hi Maki,
At first, I landed in just bento as I wanted to find a recipe for tamagoyaki. I'm soooo excited... at last I found a lot of japanese recipes in english :)
I live in Frankfurt and usually buy japanese goodies in a normal Asialaden. There's one called:
YuanFa Asia Markt
Kaiserstr. 53
60329 Frankfurt
I could find all basic ingredients there.. but couldn't find all that I needed...
And then I found the list here. At first I went to Akebono Catering. But it isn't a normal shop. They only sell their goods to restaurant. So I went to Mori Craft GmbH.. Well, it's a small shop, but at least they sell stuffs that I couldn't find in YuanFa.
Thank you soooo much for the lists (and of course all the recipes). It helps a lot :)
MfG, Cheryl

Re: Japanese grocery stores in Germany
Hi,
unfortunately Himawari in Frankfurt-Niederursel doesn't exist anymore.
So don't waste your time getting out there, it's no longer worth the trip.
