They say Globalisation is bad but I say it's great! Who would have thought that in 2011 you'd be able to buy just about any type of Japanese snack, drink or grocery right in your neighbourhood. Gone are the days when Japanese migrants or travellers to Japan would stuff their bags with food and drink so they could relive or share their experience with loved ones. No more having to wait in line at Quarantine only to have your food confiscated because the ingredients were all in Japanese. Fuji Mart near Prahran Market has it all.
Fresh, frozen, preserved, pickled, pasteurised, bottled, canned, boxed, shrunk wrapped, bubble wrapped, perfumed etc - whatever your Japanese grocery need, this power packed store will be able to deliver. Try your hand at cooking up a Sukiyaki meal or learn the art of sushi rolling. Indulge in some Japanese sweets - try the frozen Mochi or taste the weird but wonderful Choya (plum wine)
I absolutely adore this store and since my first visit, I haven't been able to stop. They also carry a range of Japanese crockery, household items, homeware and decorative items so you no longer have to fly miles across the equator to say Domo Arigato Mr Roboto! read more
