A well-stocked Japanese supermarket with two locations in Manhattan's Midtown East.

What's great:

A large selection of popular and hard-to-find snacks, sauces and huge variety of grocery items.

What to know:

The store also seems to operate as a kind of cultural center with bulletin boards and newspapers offering a little bit of Japan in the middle of Manhattan.
