Hi folks,

Can anyone recommend an online grocery shopping service? I know a few have come up on this site, but I can't remember any of the names. Hopefully it's not too much more expensive than the grocery store, but I find it quite a hassle to try and negotiate the grocery stores here.

Thanks,

Mark

most of the above are for foreign food, for everyday groceries you can order from the co-op but i think the catalogue is all japanese.

This company is located in Nagoya but they also deliver all over Japan. I bought my last year's Christmas goodies from them and they were very easy to deal with.

This is a great thread and is almost worthy of being a "sticky". Great links in there, folks, thanks.

And for vegetarian-friendly stuff, there is Tengu. I think the website is alishan-organic-center.com, or alishan-center.com.
