What to buy from Japanese supermarket?

[Mirandawrongs]

I’m off out tomorrow and on there is a Japanese supermarket right by the station when I come home.
what should I buy?
I want snacks really, can’t do frozen as have an hour in tube afterwards!

no allergies, just want your favourite buys please

Kewpie mayo

Bulldog sauce
Kewpie mayonnaise
Japanese curry roux
Kororo jelly sweets (コロロ)
Meiji chocolate
Tarami konjac jelly pouches

Thank you all!
These sound great

Individually wrapped filter coffee - they come in packs of 5-10 and are brilliant, you hook them over your cup/mug and pour hot water, when you want one cup of filter drip coffee. I hate instant!

Kewpie mayonnaise and Umeshu plum liquer.

If they have fresh shiso leaves, get them too!

I would also buy natto but it probably isn't the best bet if you don't already know that you like it!!

Oriental Kitchen Carbonara Noodles

Are you actually in Japan ? Just realised you mentioned tube.

No! I wish!
central London

furikake seasoning
all the pickles
curry block
miso and dashi
not natto. barf!

Edamame crisps. A bit weird to start of with though!

Definitely the kit kat range....and also hi chew chewing gum according to my teenage son

Oh, okay. Let us know if you get any of this then. I’ve run out of the individual coffee filter things, and don’t know anyone going to Japan in near future. I should have bought all they had in the supermarket on my last trip.

Waterloo by any chance?

I’ve bought the individual coffee filters from Waitrose before (but not recently), they were fine. And have you tried coffee bags? They’re really convenient too.

Pocky, Shin Ramyun Noodles, White Rabbit sweets! Be prepared to pick up a million things, I go in for gyoza/spices/sauces and end up with all sorts.

Also if you think you'll need stocking fillers or secret santa gifts, fun treats from the Asia Market here always go down well. I was in over the weekend and took note of things to pick up as little gift add ons. Have fun!

Yes! Matcha Kitkats.

@boulevardofbrokendreamss the Waterloo shop is very near my office!

@Motnight same here!

Pickles 🥒

There seems to be quite a few on Amazon

Waterloo or Hammersmith, I’m going to see what the day brings!

@boulevardofbrokendreamss @Motnight
you should meet up and shop together!

I’m so confused about there being a deletion on this thread. I’m sure that post was an innocuous recommendation to buy kit kats.

See if they have fresh matcha cookies and buy twice as many as you think you should
