Japanese Grocery Stores: a customer and a provider in a bright, modern setting

Japanese groceries in Singapore range from full-size supermarkets to delivery-only specialists, and the right choice depends on what you are buying. This guide covers seven retailers whose own websites show they are trading in 2026, including supermarkets in central malls, a chain of market-style stores, a fresh-fish specialist and two online-first shops. We have written each entry from what the retailer publishes about itself and noted where a description comes from outside guides instead. Product ranges and outlet lists change, so treat the entries as a starting point, then confirm stock, opening hours and delivery coverage directly before you travel or order.

1. Meidi-ya Singapore

Meidi-ya presents itself on its own website as a Japanese supermarket in Singapore, with two supermarket outlets at Millenia Walk and Great World City. The site also lists an online home delivery service, a parcel service it calls Sinpack, and a separate liquor counter in the Takashimaya food hall. Dated 2026 notices on the site, including an August change of hours for stocktaking, show the business is still actively trading. Guides published in 2025 describe ready-made sushi platters and bento boxes alongside the general grocery range, though the site itself does not itemise stock. It suits shoppers wanting a full-size Japanese supermarket. Opening hours differ between the two outlets and between weekdays and weekends, so check its contact page before you travel.

2. Isetan Supermarket (Scotts)

Isetan Singapore calls itself a Japanese department store offering fashion, beauty, home and authentic Japanese products since 1972, and its Scotts store includes a supermarket. The store directory on its website lists a basement floor with fresh produce, meat and seafood, groceries, wine, spirits and sake, a bakery and sweets section, and a delivery counter, with names such as Tokio Fruits and Kaku-Uchi Sake Bar highlighted. Its service page also explains how supermarket purchases can be delivered and notes that some fresh items, such as sushi and sashimi, are excluded from delivery. A 2026 footer and recent uploads suggest the site is current. It suits shoppers who like to combine a Japanese grocery run with department-store errands in the Orchard area.

3. Kuriya Japanese Market

Kuriya Japanese Market is part of the RE&S restaurant group, and its website describes a market that specialises in fresh seasonal seafood air-flown from Japan three times weekly. The same page says it also stocks imported Japanese groceries, sake and frozen foods, and offers ready-to-eat sushi boxes, sashimi and platters prepared in store. A locations page, updated in September 2026, lists outlets in malls including Great World City, Guoco Tower, Jurong Point, NEX, Northpoint City, Paragon, Tampines 1 and Waterway Point, each with its own listed hours. The site links to an online ordering page as well. With a spread of neighbourhood outlets, it is one of the more convenient options if you want Japanese seafood and groceries close to home.

4. Fish Mart Sakuraya

Fish Mart Sakuraya describes itself on its Japanese-language site as a supermarket and dining operation built around fresh fish flown in from Japan, with sashimi and sushi prepared to order. Its supermarket page lists fresh fish, sashimi, sushi, frozen foods, noodles, seasonings, rice, sake, vegetables, eggs, dairy, drinks and Japanese sweets among its main goods, and says it has traded since 1999. Four outlets are listed, at West Coast Plaza, Parkway Parade, Anchorpoint and The Seletar Mall, plus a home delivery service and an online shop. Its announcements page carries notices dated September 2026, including prefecture-themed food fairs, so it is clearly active. It suits anyone who wants a grocery run and fresh Japanese seafood in the same place.

5. Zairyo

Zairyo labels itself a Japanese gourmet grocery shop and sells through its own online store, with a Yishun business address on its contact page. Its shop is organised by aisle, including uni, products from Japan, sashimi, seafood, meats, vegetables and fruits, side dishes, condiments, desserts and snacks, steamboat and barbecue essentials, mother and baby items, and a halal products section. It also runs a rewards programme and a recipes page, and its footer and policy pages carry 2026 dates. Because it is a delivery business rather than a walk-in supermarket, it suits households that prefer to browse a catalogue and have Japanese ingredients brought to the door. Check its delivery information for coverage and timing.

6. Shiki

Shiki, trading as Shiki Oishii, calls itself a boutique purveyor of specialty seafood, fruits and vegetables, focused on delivering produce from Japan and other regions. Its online store lists air-flown uni, sashimi-grade seafood, roe, shellfish and crabs, Japanese wagyu and kurobuta pork, frozen items, dry goods and condiments, canned goods, and Japanese sake. The about page says it sources from markets in Tokyo, Kyushu and Hokkaido and flies produce in on a weekly basis, which is the shop's own description. The site shows a 2026 footer and a phone line for same-day or special orders. It is a more specialised pick than a general supermarket, aimed at shoppers who want premium Japanese seafood and meats delivered.

7. Don Don Donki

Don Don Donki is the Singapore arm of the Japanese discount retailer, and its official Singapore site carries a store directory listing fifteen outlets in malls across the island, from Jurong Point and Jem in the west to Tampines 1, Jewel Changi Airport and Waterway Point in the east. The site itself does not describe the product range, but guides published in 2024 and 2025 describe Japanese snacks, drinks, fresh produce, sashimi and ready-to-eat meals alongside homeware and beauty items. The footer shows 2026 and the brand links to active Facebook and Instagram pages. Opening hours vary by outlet, so check the store listing before you go. It suits shoppers who want a broad one-stop Japanese range.

How to choose

Decide first whether you want a supermarket you can walk into or a delivery service. Outlets in malls suit quick top-ups and browsing, while online-first shops suit planned orders of seafood, meats or gifts. Read each retailer's delivery information carefully, including coverage, cut-off times and any items it excludes from delivery.
Look at what the retailer actually publishes about its range. Some sites list aisles, product types and named brands, while others show only a store directory. If a site says little about stock, check its social pages or call the nearest outlet before you travel for a specific ingredient, sauce or snack.
Think about freshness and handling for chilled items. Several retailers say they fly in seafood or produce on set days of the week. Treat these as the retailer's own statements, ask which day stock arrives, and check how raw items are packed and kept cold for the trip home.
Check opening hours outlet by outlet. Hours often differ between branches, between weekdays and weekends, and around public holidays or stocktaking. Retailers that post dated notices on their sites tend to be easier to confirm, so look for a recent announcement or contact page before you set out.
Ask about anything specific to your household, such as halal products, allergens, alcohol or gift packaging. Where a retailer lists a section for it, read the details and ask how products are sourced. Confirm any claim that matters to you directly with the retailer, rather than relying on a general listing.
