General comments about the size of store, selection, etc.
It is a smallish store but they have a great variety of items... some fresh veggies, lots of canned items, refrigerated section, frozen section. People are very friendly. They have some cooking utensils too. I was able to pick up a Benriner mandolin slicer cheaper than I'd seen it online!

I wanted to recommend a store in Chicago I haven't seen listed on here. It's pretty small and most of it is devoted to gift items and books, however there is a decent size section of Japanese foods. If you can't make it out to Mitsuwa, and need a basic staple this may be a good choice.

Northern Ireland is poorly served in terms of Japanese or Asian grocery stores, with two noteable exceptions, although these are Belfast-based. Both of these service all Asian cuisines (Chinese, Japanese, Thai, etc).

    A barn of a place, designed mainly for the restaurant trade, and pan-Asian in nature, but a reliable source of nanami togarishi, nori, etc. Best to go in with a list as it's not a place for browsing, more of a warehouse, good prices, long established.

  • General comments about the size of store, selection, etc.
    This is a new supermarket, attractively laid out in a renovated building in what might be termed Belfast's Chinatown. More suited to browsing, it is also pan-Asian, with a good range of noodles, Japanese seasoning, etc. It's the only place I have managed to get konnyaku, and I will admit to clearing their shelves of shichimi togarashi.

Its a bit hard to find because its inside the sush yokoi restaurant! When you go into the restaurant it splits into two and on the left is Tomato. They are a small market but exclusively Japanese. I've found some unique items that are not at your local H Mart! They also have a membership program where you pay 10 dollars a year and get 5% off all your purchases. Brush up on your Japanese though as the staff all communicates in Japanese, but will help you in English of course.

Chinese groceries store operated by Taiwanese. Carries some Japanese items like curry blocks, seaweeds, frozen gyoza, natto, edamame, short grain rice, ramen, snacks, drinks and more. Good selection of vegetarian meat alternative products.

Asiana Market
5740 N Carefree Circle
Colorado Springs, CO 80917
(719) 570-9732

Asiana is the best resource for Japanese groceries in town. Colorado Springs is bespeckled with a large amount of Chinese and Korean grocers (there is not a single JAPANESE market), but Asiana is half and half Japanese and Korean, and there are various small items from China, Thailand, and other places as well. The prices are a little more than you may expect, but any city away from the coast is like that, and the shop people are super friendly. If you compare to other Asian grocers in town, Asiana is much more cleanly, and they will special order products for you if you tell them what you are looking for. It is obviously no Marukai or Mitsuwa, but it's the best resource outside of ordering online. :) Friendly staff!! A++

It's a medium sized store, but as far as I could tell, carries everything needed for Japanese, Chinese and probably Korean cooking except fresh vegetables. They do carry both brand names as well as smaller packages done by the company (So if one is hesitant to buy a 30 dlls. bag of bonito flakes, for example, there's a smaller, 4 dlls bag too, or even smaller ones) They also sell cooking equipment and, although they didn't had any last time I went, bento boxes. The attention is amazingly good and they also have cooking classes on the weekends.

Comments:
It is a little and nice store that has more than grocerys. They have yukatas and knifes for cooking ect. They even sell some magazines and manga (japanese comic). Even thought it is small you can find the stuff you need from there. And if they do not have the thing you have searching for - you can always request that they will start buying the stuff that you want. But I myself think that the selection is good compared to its size.

General comments about the size of store:
A large selection of Japanese materials from frozen foods to cooking materials. (off subject- They also sell shampoos, candy, books, and videos. All in Japanese.)They are very reasonably priced (25 Gyoza skins for $1.48) and are have a sushi counter which is happy to teach you how to make the sushi.

The owner is Korean, even if the shop is not really big you can find most of the basic for japanese cooking. The staff is really helpful. And if like me you like Kimichi, the owner's mother made her own.

Korean Market

8590 Pelham Rd # 21
Greenville, SC 29615
(864) 284-9191

It's a smallish store that has some fresh refrigerated ingredients. The rest is essentials, snacks, kitchen/tableware, and movies. They are very reasonably priced, but most of the labels are in Korean, so you may have to ask the cashier for help.

Japanese Food Store Tanpopo

8590 Pelham Rd # 7
Greenville, SC 29615
(864) 288-2755

It's a very small store attached to a sushi bar. It has the essentials, plus some snacks, movies, and a small refrigerated section. They are also very reasonably priced. The shelves also have labels with English descriptions and price plus the Japanese characters, so you can pick something up and compare the label to ensure you're buying the right thing.
Very cool.

I'd like to open a Japanese grocery in my city...about 150mi from Chicago. How? Anyone know a wholesaler that will set up / stock the store? Any advice would be appreciated...thanks! Papyrus...

Philadelphia is pretty well known for Chinatown. While there are no outright stores down there that scream "We sell bento supplies!", by hunting around it's possible to pick up a ongiri mold here, a lunch box there.
I found the green plastic leaves at the Assi Supermarket outside Philadelphia, on Welsh Road. The supermarket has a great variety of foods, fresh, frozen, and prepared and a third of the building has mini-stores, selling cosmetics and health supplies, clothing and other odds and ends. It also has a food court of Korean and sushi.
H Mart on Rte. 611 is more of a supermarket inside a mini-mall, though the small stores are more mall-like. It also has a food court, Korean and sushi.
Personally, I'd rather go to those two stores, because everything has an English alternative label and they are super clean...

Izumi-ya

Has everything from vegetables to fish (even seafood for nabe or sashimi), makes fresh bento/meals everyday. Sells instant food wholesale, has video rentals too.

Izumi-ya is a bit small and hard to find, but I <3 it a lot!

Love hanging out here - best prices in Sydney, abundant variety, helpful staff, stamp-card system leading to discount - sincerely like stepping into a Tokyo grocery store! Upstairs is attached a Japanese $2 shop and travel agent - just as great. Closes a little after 7pm 'cept on Sundays, 5pm.

This long-time resident of New Haven is run by a nice Korean woman from Pusan. She makes futomaki, shumai, homemade kimchi, and bi bim bop fresh daily and will also make the Korean version of soba noodles seasonally. Plus there's tea and coffee. This shop carries almost everything you could need for Japanese cuisine, including all the spices, rice, sauces, oils, cooking implements, kampyo, fresh vegetables, Pocky, mochi, etc. She also stocks Thai, Korean, and Indian ingredients. Plus there is a very nice gift section and a place to eat.

This Korean market can be tricky to find; it's off 15-501 Business on the service road near Kurama and Sitar restaurants, in a large parking lot. The sign is entirely in Korean but the lady who manages it speaks English. There's a great selection of frozen foods, huge bags of rice, fresh shiitake and eringe mushrooms, daifuku mochi, Oi Ocha, Japanese sauces, oils, and vinegars, nori, kabocha, noodles, plus some Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese goods. There are also cooking implements and gifts. My one complaint is that their soba noodles are really wimpy and tasteless. But they are extremely helpful and friendly and their prices are okay.

Okay, so far I know that these are absolutely available there, and have seen and/or purchased them myself. Their fresh vegetables change naturally, and they may not always have a vegetable in you want.

The store is very clean and the people are very nice. They don't speak very good English, but if you can pronounce the Japanese names they can usually help you locate an item. Though it's easier to just to look around, you rarely have to ask them much if you know what exactly what it is you're looking for.

Their website doesn't have any of their cooking items so you actually have to go to the location to see what they carry.

Our grocery store is definitely not a Japanese or Asian market but aside from quality food and produce, we do offer fresh sushi and other Japanese and Asian products.

Detroit Grocery Store

With that said, the metro Detroit area does have plenty of extremely quality markets and stores dedicated solely to Japanese and/or Asian foods.

For example One World Market, which is located in Novi, Michigan (about 25 minutes outside of Detroit) has one of the best selections we've seen.

There's a very large Middle Eastern community in the Detroit and Metro Detroit Areas...specifically Dearborn, Michigan. Although the culture is very different from Japanese, you still can find some really cool and interesting things.

Hope that helps!

The store is very small, they carry some frozen seafood, frozen thin sliced pork, as well as frozen thin sliced beef. The selection is not very large they carry an assortment of canned coffees, a decent selection of junk food, a nice selection of ramen and yakisoba noodles. As well as rices. The sauce selection is really what makes this place stand out. Other Asian markets in my area have a larger selection of Asian seasonings, spices and sauces, but none have as much Japanese as J-Mart. Worst thing is no selection of fresh vegetables. Friendly, courteous and helpful staff. They also have a nice selection of Japanese videos, I can't comment more as I am not fluent in nor can I read Japanese.

This store has everything from durian fruit to live eels, lobster, and crab with a decent selection of fresh fish. The vegetable selection there is what really sets this store apart. From jalapenos to fresh peanuts, they have it all. Bok choy, fresh dill and cilantro, bean sprouts, tofu, jellyfish, it's as close to Asia as you can get in my neck of the woods without going. Their prices are also very competitive with local name brand stores. In fact my wife and I (both Caucasian American) have chosen to support the store by doing all our weekly shopping there.

So it's back to Fuji Super. We're in luck! They have everything we wanted — and we get a free vinyl grocery bag! After paying, we try not to look suspicious as we pack the booty into our back-pack and we're off!..

Hi, this is my first time i have visited here. I found many interesting stuffs, thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. A couple of weeks ago I found two bento boxes hidden in the last aisle, but the basics for cute decorating aren’t sold there.

This wonderful little store was my go-to place for Japanese cooking ingredients when I lived in Fort Collins. The store sells Japanese groceries in addition to Asian gifts, dishware and some bento supplies. Although it is a fairly small store, I was always able to find the staples I needed for my recipes and the people working there were always friendly and helpful. The only thing they are lacking is a fresh produce section. All I can say is I really miss living close enough to East West to shop there, I haven't found another store quite like it.

Interesting idea. If I find a store in Belgium, I'll be sure to come by and post it as I'm currently looking for Japanese shops :) -Geld lenen

I wanted to recommend a store in Chicago I haven’t seen listed on here. It’s pretty small and most of it is devoted to gift items and books, however there is a decent size section of Japanese foods. If you can’t make it out to Mitsuwa, and need a basic staple this may be a good choice.

Hello,

Thanks for this list, it's very useful and informative.

I have a question for you about finding a very specific item here in the US. Do you know of any place that sells whole katsuo bushi - like the whole block of bonito that you shave flakes from, rather than buying pre-shaved flakes? Or if no one sells it here, do you know how I could have it imported? I see you've listed some sites that will do things like that, but unfortunately, I don't know Japanese. Most of these sites start off in English, but eventually lead you to a Japanese-only site where you are supposed to browse products. Again, thanks, and keep up the great work.

And if you're tired of working IN your business and you want to start working ON your business then look around this site, come back often because you've discovered

Hi there, Maki!
I have a store for you to add on your next round of updates. One of the few I've been able to locate "near" my home in the south end of France.
Name: China Vina
Location: CD6
13480 Plan de Campagne
Tel: 04 42 02 08 82

They are a bit difficult to locate. It is a small corner storefront situated by the China Express restaurant and its neighboring butcher shop.

It is a fairly small store with a variety of items ranging from frozen foods to hard-to-find spices and cooking utensils. I've been able to find lots of basic pantry items (such as bonito flakes, mirin and soba noodles) and occasionally things like large bottles of cooking sake and even Bulldog sauce every once in a while. They usually have some fresh vegetables and herbs, but selection varies.

Lanna Sian Market

Thai Market with a large selection of Japanese products. Not much fresh produce (just two small cases), but a good sized frozen section. They're the only store I've found in Central MA or NH that carries UCC coffee… the owner is super friendly and willing to special order products.

I wanted to supply two addresses of toko's in the Netherlands in the city of "Den Bosch". I haven't had a lot of experience with Sang Lee because "Oriental" is slightly bigger and offers more Japanese products as well as some nice non-food supplies such as rice cookers, wok supplies and some nice china.

Both toko's have a decent assortment of Asian supplies. Sang Lee offers a small collection of take-out snacks. Oriental offers a fairly large range of frozen and fresh products as well as various (fresh) tofu products and vegetables. They also have a webshop which can be found under the link above.
They also have a very generous sweets/snacks and tea supply.
and carry a very nice assortment of Japanese supplies and utensils.

Happy Shopping ^^

It’s pretty small and most of it is devoted to gift items and books, however there is a decent size section of Japanese foods. If you can’t make it out to Mitsuwa, and need a basic staple this may be a good choice. Wordpress Themes

Best to go in with a list as it’s not a place for browsing, more of a warehouse, good prices, long established. A barn of a place, designed mainly for the restaurant trade, and pan-Asian in nature, but a reliable source of nanami togarishi, nori, etc.Mail Forwarding

Great post, Your article shows tells me you must have a lot of background in this topic. Can you direct me to other articles about this? I will recommend this article to my friends as well. Keep it up.

General comments about the size of store, selection, etc.
It is a smallish store but they have a great variety of items… some fresh veggies, lots of canned items, refrigerated section, frozen section. People are very friendly. They have some cooking utensils too. www.websitetemplates.me

There's a small but jam-packed market on Broadway, just west of the Broadway stop on the N/Q, called Family Market. They have just about everything I can think of -- fu, fresh kabocha, gobo, atsuage, various kinds of curry, and lots more. And tons of sweets, which is always fun. I've never tried asking the staff for anything but they seem nice enough. There's a $10-ish credit card minimum, but I never have trouble hitting that. There're bigger markets in the East Village and elsewhere, sure, but you can't beat this place for where it is.

General comments about the size of store, selection, etc.

While this store doesn't have any fresh vegetables available, it is medium sized and has a large, varied selection of nori, sauces, noodles, cooking ingredients, pickled vegetables and a wide variety of frozen vegetables, meat, sweets etc. as well as a refrigerated section with many types of miso and sashimi grade fish. Basically all you could want except for fresh vegetables.

The second half of the store (about as large as the grocery section) is an area in which you can buy fresh sushi and sashimi.

Seriously recommend Oriental Imports, 9101 Gateway West, El Paso TX 79925, (915) 591-7255
They have every single item i've ever needed!

Hello Makiko!
I'm living in Rome Italy and I would like to add to the Japanese groceries list some addresses.

Here in Italy the idea of the japanese food is still stuck to the SUshi/Sashimi/raw fish concept, but many people who grew up with the 70's and 80's anime 'invasion', once become adults, have been able to visit Japan and discover all the wonderful dishes of traditional cuisine. In small towns is still difficult to find asian ingredients, but in cities as Milan and Rome there are many asian shops selling japanese products.

In Rome you can find them in the Esquilino area. Many raw ingredients can be found at Nuovo Mercato Esquilino, accessible from via Principe Amedeo,via Mamiani,via Turati,
via Lamarmora
(http://www.nuovomercatoesquilino.it/index.php?option=com_content&view=ar...).

I personally buy my ingredients in the following shops

Pacific Trading srl
via Principe Eugenio, 17-19-21 Roma
tel. 06 4468406 fax 06 4468405
(selling food vegetables and kitchenware)

Korean Market
via Cavour, 84 Roma
tel. 06 4885060
selling both food (not fresh) and some kitchenware.

Another important shop but much more expensive is Castroni with many branches around the city, the most well stocked one is situated in Via Cola di Rienzo 196, Roma (http://www.castronicoladirienzo.com/home.html; the list of all branches can be found here www.castroni.it). They don't have fresh food but a huge selection of other products.

Hoping to have ben helpful

In the USA list, under Washington DC / Maryland / Virginia, you can remove Naniwa Foods in McLean, VA, as it has closed, and add Hana Market, 2000 17th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20009, (202) 939-8853. Hana's web page on Yelp at http://www.yelp.com/biz/hana-japanese-market-washington has great photos showing how many hundreds of products are available in this tiny store, which is open 7 days a week and takes credit cards.

Although it started as a Chinese shop, it has in The Netherlands the largest amount of Japanese ingredients, both fresh and frozen, varying from unagi kobayaki, naruto, natto to shirataki, Japanese beers, sake, soshu and all kinds of Japanese vegetables as well as Japanese porcelain, dinnerware, giftware, cookware, glassware and collectables.
I have to travel more than 100 km to visit the shop, but it is worthwhile to do so.

Arizona:

Bay far the best places for Japanese and most other Asian food related items in Phoenix, Chandler, and Tucson is Lee Lee's http://www.leeleesupermarket.com/ Lee Lee's is a huge store, as big or bigger than most chain grocery stores. It is heavily oriented towards Vietnamese & Indian due to the ethnic makeup of Phoenix, but of the 30 or so long aisles, 2 are devoted entirely to Japanese food.

2nd best in Phoenix is Super L Ranch Market, but it is less convenient in location for many.

South Carolina, USA:

Tanpopo
8590 Pelham Rd. Greenville, SC 29615
(864) 288-2755
http://sushimasa.webs.com/tanpopo.html

The store is small but has a pretty good selection of food items. Not very much in the way of cooking equipment, but carries a good selection of Japanese rice, noodles, produce, spices, snacks, sushi ingredients, and more. It's the only Japanese grocery store I've found in the Upstate area of South Carolina thus far. It's located right next to Sushi Masa, a Japanese restaurant. It's been around for 18 years, according to the owner (who is super nice!! And was very helpful to me when I was looking for ingredients for Japanese dishes :).

There are a couple of more locations in the Phoenix metro area of Arizona:

New Tokyo Food Market
3435 W Northern Ave
Phoenix, AZ 85051

New Tokyo Food Market only stocks Japanese products, aside from food they also carry kitchen supplies, dinnerware and even health and beauty products!

Asiana Market
4410 W Union Hills Dr
Glendale, AZ 85308

and

1116 S Dobson Rd
Mesa, AZ 85202

Asiana is a more typical Asian market that sells a large variety of items and they do have a Japanese isle and they sell fresh noodles, umeboshi and some other refrigerated items.

n Dubai there are lots of Japanese restaurants everywhere, ranging from fancy shwancy places like Nobu to really cheap (and in my opinion, disgusting) chains like Yo!Sushi. All the big supermarkets have sushi sections too, for hungry people who need a quick bite of nigiri. With sushi such a popular food, I thought it might be easy to find stuff to make at home. But unfortunately, finding authentic Japanese products and ingredients proved to be a bit of a challenge.

I went out on a hunt recently to try to find some essentials, and had varying degrees of luck. There isn’t too much info online about where to buy stuff, or about what you can actually find, so today, for the benefit of any other Dubies (that’s my word for Dubai residents) who may be looking desperately for proper Japanese ingredients, I am posting a list of goodies that I recently found, where I bought them, as well as how I got there on public transport..Givealink Bookmarks

The shop is principally hand-made bio tofu shop opened 2011 by retired Japanesde journalist couple. You can buy Soja milk, Okara, Abura-age, etc. Other Japanese products are also selling and became to be Japanese grocery.You can buy home made Bento as well.

Ilive in Bowling Green Ohio and I want to know if there is a good Japanese grocery store somewhere closer to me than in Columbus. I know there are several Asian groceries in Toledo, but none that I've found specialize enough in Japanese food to serve my needs.http://www.bancdeswisstest.com/

General comments about the size of store, selection, etc. - It's a small store, but with a good selection for its size. They have a large selection of sake and on Fridays, there are sake tastings and demonstrations. Fresh tea and coffee can be ordered and one of the owners makes fresh bread every morning (which is delicious!). She describes CJ as a "Japanese Starbucks" in this respect in addition to being a grocery store. I really like this place and it also acts as a local resource for Japanese people new to the area.

Hi! I love your blog! In Dallas Kazy's gourmet shop on markville drive in Dallas, TX is a Japanese market. Mr.Kazy passed away only a few years ago, I knew him and he was really neat. His daughter was remodeling the store last time i was there. Anyway,they have a small store with japanese products and fish! Kazy made the best green tea ice cream supplied it to many local restaurants.They also have an eatery so you can order your sushi or temupura and go shopping while you wait then sit down to lunch or take it to go.

My favorite supermarket asian store was asia world supermarket in richardson later plano texas. I just loved the place and the owner from taiwan.It's since been sold to jusgo out of houston.It's still a great store but different. Miso varieties have narrowed a bit, yet the amount of Japanese soy sauce and mirin have increased. But i still shop there but miss the old store, i'll adjust still in shock as i found out this weekend while headed there.Also we have now 99 ranch and hmart in plano texas.
There's no shortage of asian markets in Dallas, TX and it's surrounding areas.Have fun!

I've been looking around Georgia, USA for more Japanese and Asian groceries, and these are the ones I've found.

Name - Tomato Japanese Grocery
Address - 2086 Cobb Parkway, Smyrna, GA 30080 and 7124 Peachtree Ind. Blvd., Norcross, GA 30071
Phone number - 770-933-0108
Website - http://tomatostoreus.com/

I've only every visited the Smyrna location, which is very small and located next to a traditional Japanese restaurant. The selection is pretty good for what it is - lots of foods, drinks, some house and kitchen products, and a books and DVDs section. I've been able to find most Japanese ingredients listed for recipes on this site, and the prices are very reasonable. The foods are mostly frozen, refrigerated, or dry goods, so they don't stock anything super fresh, like produce or fresh fish.

Just a couple of miles away from the Tomatao Smyrna location is:
Name - Nam Dae Mun Farmers Market
Address - Locations in Norcross, Duluth, Smyrna, Lawrenceville, Lilburn (directions on website)
Website - http://nsgifm.com/

Though the name is Korean, this stores covers a lot of different cuisines. Primarily, they sell Asian/Hispanic/European foods, alcohols, and house/kitchen products. It's a very big store with a great selection. They don't carry many Japanese-specific products, but they have an incredible produce, meat, and fish selection at really great prices. I've had a lot of luck finding spices, sauces, fish, fruits/vegetables, noodles, and frozen goods called for in Just Hungry recipes.
