I stayed near Tokyo Station this time, and Seijo Ishii was the supermarket I visited almost every day! For someone like me who loves exploring Japanese supermarkets and discovering good food, this place is truly a treasure hunter’s paradise while traveling!
Seijo Ishii is known for its carefully selected foods from around the world. From local Japanese specialties, all kinds of bento boxes, bread, and desserts to drinks, fruit, and imported foods, there’s a wide variety of products, and I find plenty of good things every time I visit.
My favorite is the fruit section, which has a really large selection. It’s very convenient when you want some fruit during your trip or want to buy fresh fruit to enjoy back at the hotel!
Another money-saving tip is to visit the prepared food section after 8 p.m. Many items start going on sale, and if you’re lucky, you can get your favorite bento boxes and prepared foods at better prices. Bringing them back to the hotel for dinner is simple and satisfying.
The store is located in First Avenue Tokyo Station near Tokyo Station, so it’s easy to get to, and the business hours are also convenient for travelers planning their shopping. Whether you want to buy breakfast before heading out, pick up dinner before returning to your hotel, or simply browse a Japanese supermarket, I highly recommend stopping by.
When visiting Tokyo, Japanese supermarkets are just as unmissable as department stores and drugstores! Taking a look around every day always brings a little bit of happiness to the trip.
