If you read Japanese there is a terrific forum for Japanese expats living in Spain, here. (スペイン探偵局)

There is a Japonica rice that is grown in Spain, called "Minori", produced by Okura Y Asociados Products, S.A. Web site. (But it has no contact info! Geez.)

Switzerland

General Switzerland notes: The biggest Japanese expat community is in Geneva. You can also increasingly buy some Japanese ingredients at the department stores (esp. Globus). Migros and Coop both carry a few Japanese/Asian (mostly Thai) products.

In the last 5-6 years, there has been an explosion (well in Swiss terms) of "Asian" restaurants in the major cities. Quality and authenticity varies. Most serve some form of sushi.

This page on the Laughing Lemon site (they offer highly regarded cooking classes in English and German, as well as catering) lists what's in season in Switzerland. See this page for dates and times of the markets in the major Swiss cities.

Zürich

General Zürich notes: There are quite a few Thai grocery stores. Migros City's fish department is pretty good for fresh fish. Increasingly, the morning markets are carrying Asian vegetables - in particular the Helvetiaplatz market and the Bürkliplatz market. At the latter, I've spotted things like shiso plants and fresh yuzu!

Europe-only mail order sites

Many places with web sites listed will ship to you within Europe, or at least within the same country. Visit the sites and find out!

  • Japan Centre ships all over Europe. This page lists the countries to which they will ship food. Shipping is free within the UK over £30 worth of merchandise. They ship non-comestibles worldwide. In my experience, their shipping is expensive but very fast. Excellent service. In Switzerland at least the price including shipping is about the same as buying locally, so it's handy for stuff that the local stores don't stock.(maki)
  • Japan Food Hall ships all over Europe. A fairly new store (opened in 2014 I believe), located in Surrey, UK. This page lists the countries they ship to with tariffs. Prices are competitive with Japan Centre. I have bought from them a couple of times already and have been happy with the service. (maki)
  • 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.
  • Wai yee Hong is a Chinese supermarket in Bristol, UK. They will ship all over Europe.

There is a great japanese shop in Basel called mikado, the address Gartenstrasse 59, which is quite close to the main trainstation. It is run by a Japanese lady and apart from a great selection of food, some dishes etc you can also enjoy home cooked lunches there. And the nice thing is that they are very reasonable and friendly

Just to add a few more for Amsterdam:

Japans Winkel Dank
Kastelenstraat 264
1082 EJ Amsterdam, Netherlands
+31 20 6464587

  • A bit far from the center, located in Amstelveen which is about 20-30 minutes south. Has a good selection of curries, sauces, and fresh produce. A bit more expensive than Shilla's but more selection. Also has a video section. Across from a good Bento lunch spot.

Toko Dun Yong
Stormsteeg 9
1012 BD Amsterdam
the Netherlands
+31-(0)20-6221763
+31-(0)20-6267513

http://www.dunyong.com/
Monday through Saturday 9:00 - 18:00
Sunday 12:00 - 18:00

  • Located in the heart of Chinatown. Selection of Japanese products mixed in with mostly Chinese and Thai ingredients. Fresh tofu, frozen seafood, nabe stuff - more expensive than Shilla's or Dank.

Dank is not located in Amstelveen, but in Amsterdam, in an area called Builtenveldert. However, it is probably closer to Amstelveen centre than it is to the centre of Amsterdam.

Located in Amstelveen, near Amsterdam, is Iseya. They sell sushi and almost any ingredient you'll ever need for your Japanese recipes. If I remember correctly they even sell rice cookers.

Here is one in Helsinki, Finland. You can find basic japanese food stuff and other merchandice like magazines, tableware etc. Web page in finnish, english and japanese http://www.tokyokan.fi/.

It's the biggest asian store I know in Lisbon. They have all kind of japonese, chinese and indian products. Unlike other asian stores they sell frozen products and bulk packages for restaurants. Cooking classes are available.

Casa Chinesa
Rua Sá da Bandeira, 343
4000-435 Porto

Not worth it.

I read many nice things about this store, but as I entered to see their selection, the attitude was horribly different. I was immediately followed and watched by some grim, old employee who was constantly very close and, many times, in my direct way. This is the most ridiculous behavior that I have even seen in shop in Portugal.

Prospective clients should be treated with respect and not suspicion. I am someone living between Paris, Porto and Bangkok, well-dressed, and I was frankly shocked by the bad attitude in this shop.

A lost potential client.

El Corte Inglès Supermarket
Avenida da República, 1435
Vila Nova de Gaia
Telephone: 223 781 400
Website: http://www.elcorteingles.pt

Isn't it just a few sushi items? (Rice, vinegar, nori, perhaps gari and wasabi)
Or do the Portuguese Corte Inglès stores stock more than their Spanish equivalents?

Hi Loretta at Lisbon's El Corte Inglès there are at least 56 different grocery products and also beer, salt, seaweeds, liquor, dried fruits and tea. You can check what products there are in http://www.elcorteingles.pt/supermercado/frameset.asp.

Living in Aarhus, far from Copenhagen where most Japanese-centered shops are, I still found this one worth mentioning. Everytime I go in there they've added something new Japanese:

Far East Trading
Banegårdsgade 36-38
8000 Århus C
Telephone: 86 18 18 69
Website: http://far-east-trading.dk (all in Danish)

Among the more hard-to-find items they carry are: katsuobushi, kombu, wakame and GOOD soba noodles (not to mention many kinds of Japonica rice)

There's a seemingly new product line that has started to show up on shelves in several stores here in Sweden lately. Renée Voltaire has a couple of japanese items like Furikake (something I've never seen in regular stores here before), green tea, udon and soba etc.

As said it has started to show up in regular stores but you can also order directly from their homepage over at:

http://www.reneevoltaire.se/Produkter/

I just thought it was worth mentioning.

in Lisbon there's an area called Martim Moniz and there are asian stores everywhere (mainly indian and chinese) but do note that alot on chinese stores sell items used in japanese food

I am looking for suppliers of japanese food products in the valencia/murcia region

Hiper Oriente I
Calle Aponte 8
(by Plaza del Duque)
tlf: +34 954 915 943

Hiper Oriente II
Avda. Kansas City 1-3
(in the Nervion zone, betwen El corte ingles and Santa Justa train station)

They're both owned by the same family, who also owns a restaurant by the first one,and you'll find food, drinks and tableware, as well as chinese and a few japanese magazines, newspapers, DVD's and books. There's also a frozen food section where you can find fish, vegetables and already made dim sum and similars. They store a large number of products which include indian, tailand, japanese and chinese stuff. But depending on what you're looking for, you should visit one or other. The first one has more japanese things, from onigiri molds to several types of miso paste and tofu. The second has a huge section of noodles, as well as katsuo-bushi and wasabi powder large size bags.

About the staff, sometimes it's a bit hard to make yourself understand since most of them are chinese and don't speak a fluent Spanish (or don't speak it at all).

I have some info regarding to the Mikado in Basel, I have been there months ago for the first time and it was about to close down, the lady owner unfortunately is not well and her husband has to inevitable stop the business going there after.

Wow, that's a shame to hear :( I wonder if they were doing good business?

Just an update on the Netherlands, there's a Meidi-ya in Amsterdam (Beethovenstraat 20 1077 Amsterdam, Nederland

hi, i have an update on the Wasabi in basel. i went there the other day to check if they're still there and if they sell bento boxes; so they actually are still in business and they carry a few japanese tableware and craft items. they don't have any bento boxes at the moment, but whenever they go to japan they bring back some. next time they'll go will be november or december 2011. they said the bento boxes they bring usually sell out pretty fast. hope this helps!

Hi, the Japonica rice -called Minori- grown in Spain is available at Tokyo Ya, here the web site with the catalogue

http://tokyo-ya.es/tienda/catalog/index.php

Aggarwal grocery moved to Kernstrasse (next street) towards Migros Wengihof (Kalkbreite). New Asia Market is close by too.

At Aggarwal Langstrasse they only left the restaurant part. They used the empty space put some tables and chairs.

Btw, Tamil shops are around Röntgenplatz. I have no idea, how much Japanese food they offer.

some more shops in vienna, austria:

next to the nippon-ya mentioned above is a store called
"cha no ma" located in faulmanngasse 7, 1040 wien.

it offers green tea in all kinds one can imagine, not only tealeaves and matchapowder, but you can also consume wonderful matcha (in all kinds), greentea sweets and about 12 different sorts of onigiri there.

another one is the "nakwon" (it has not only japanese, but all sorts of asian food and a GIANT range of goods), there are 2 stores in vienna:
one is in zieglergasse 12, 1070 wien
the other one in rotensterngasse 31, 1020 wien.

"yip hint" (run by vietnamese people afaik, but they don't only offer vietnamese things) also has two stores in vienna. they are not as big as nakwon (which is REALLY big. i have been to the yip hint in neulerchenfelderstraße only, perhaps the 2nd is bigger.), but they offer some things i haven't found elsewhere and seem to import the majority of things brought to austria from asia.
neulerchenfelderstraße 32, 1160 wien.
the other one is in favoritenstraße 178 in 1100 wien.

many warm greetings from vienna! :)

I'm interested in the Takuhai website in The Netherlands, but cannot acces it. I'm asked for a username and password. What am I doing wrong???

Maybe their site is just down. (Just Hungry is not associated with any of the stores listed so beyond that I can't really say what is wrong with their site)

Hi,

Does anyone know if the Exotic Asia Market in Lisbon is still in business? I can't seem to find it on google maps and the website's not working.

Many thanks!

are there any asian markets in verona, italy?

Hi Maki,

sorry to bother you again, but the link to ja-mart in Germany does not work. Do they still exist and would that be an alternative to buying at japan centre when living in France? I think the link of japan centre leads somewhere else. Maybe you cab check.

Thank you!
Julie

August 2015: "Japans & Koreaanse Delicatessen Shilla" - seems to have stopped.
Same for Takuhai (dead link).
The good news: largest national supermarket Albert Heijn (the XL stores) has a Japanese isle with many basics for Japanese cooking mentioned on your website (Soba Noodles, Panko, Firm Tofu, sesame seed, seeweed, wasibi etc.).
Sushitotaal is a reliable online shop http://www.sushitotaal.nl/

What do you mean, is Shilla closed? Their website seems to be working: http://shilla-amsterdam.nl/ There are also google reviews from 3 months ago.

I recently found out about this (Dutch) small business which sells organic rice (they have brown rice, beige rice, brown mochi rice), miso and also some beans. You can only order online and they ship to the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Germany, Belgium and Austria. I have ordered from them, no complaints. http://www.ken-ran.nl/english/
