Re: Japanese grocery stores in other places
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.

Re: Japanese grocery stores in other places
