Shopping basements in supermarkets and below train stations in Tokyo


International Supermarkets

Kinokuniya 紀伊国屋

Kinokuniya's strength lies in its wide range of foreign, mostly western, products. For example, they carry their own muesli mix, cure their own ham and have a wide variety of cheeses. In the cookies department, they mostly bring European brands and have the Norwegian brown waffers that have become so popular because of their low calories. As for canned products, you can find Spanish olives, sardines, various vegetables and imported pop.
