This Japanese groceteria inside the J-Town Shopping Centre brings Tokyo to Toronto. There are packages of sliced lotus root, pickled plums and jellied yam cakes, a fridge full of misos and a freezer of grill-ready sliced beef, not to mention displays of red bean cakes. Shelves of groceries—shoyu, sour ponzu sauce, soy and wasabi—are all lined up neatly. There’s also every kind of rice, noodle and panko needed to whip up Japanese basics at home. Staff are all smiles, but English isn’t always a strength, so figuring out what everything is can be an adventure.
