Howzit Anon-There are! Sort of depends on where you stay-thus far I have three different shops I frequent in Cape Town...one in Claremont, one in Seapoint and another in Observatory area!
I got one Indo Asian grocery shop which is Africa and prices of each product is reasonable. You can do online shopping also out there.

I am an American who lived in Osaka for many years, and now for many in Brazil, in Sao Paulo. I cannot live without Japanese food and ingredients, so it's lucky I am here; one of the results of over a 100 years of Japan-Brazil immigration, we have a Japanese neighborhood called Liberdade. It feels like home to me. There I can get a lot of things I need: mochi flour, soba/udon, wasabi, Kikkoman products, Pocky/Pretz, senbei, genmai cha, sauces, sushi rice, etc. The two big grocery stores are Marukai and Casa Bueno.
There's a great bakery called Padaria Itiriki, where I buy anpan and karepan. I can even buy Japanese kitchen tools and pottery in Liberdade; my favorite place is Hime-ya. So many great Japanese restaurants all over the city, too, not just in Liberdade.
I also frequent a store called Towa where I can get other Asian ingredients, like for Thai and Chinese cooking.
For a pseudo-Japanese expat, living in Sao Paulo is a dream.
We have a Japanese grocery store in our near by market. And I must tell you that it has all the Japanese stuffs and items be it a small thing or a big thing. It works just fine.

I am in Johannesburg and have been searching for Konbu, Mirin, dashi, mizuna leaves, umeboshi, etc, nobody on this forum has mentioned an actual address! please advise! Johannesburg should have something, somewhere! (Chinatown is no good, there is nothing Japanese to be found.)
Hahhahaha....I'm I the only one that sees you are looking for a shop in johannesburg, SOUTH AFRICA? Hhahahhaha....I've been meaning to go check out this other place I heard about in cyryldene..or near it by bruma. Apparently its nihon not chou. So if you are game I can look for an address and we can go together or meet there(since its joburg). My tongue can't wait...I really want sweets and ochezuke....weird right?
Hi everyone,
I've been also looking for Japanese ingredients and the best place is the Korean supermarket at Rivonia Junction in Jo'burg!
Hope this help

Japanese Grocery Stores
Hi there
There is a very nice one in 14th Avenue, Northcliff in Johannesburg. Not sure of the name. It is close to the 14th Avenue turn off by the 7/11.
