Living in Japan and Missing Food From Home? Here Is What We Deliver Nationwide

There is a specific feeling that happens when you eat food from home. It is not just about taste. It is about comfort, memory, and belonging.

If you are living in Japan, whether you have been here for 6 months or 16 years, that feeling matters. And finding the food that gives you that feeling should not be this hard.

The reality of finding Asian food in Japan

In Tokyo, Osaka, or Nagoya you can find specialist Asian grocery stores if you know where to look. But if you live in Aichi, Shizuoka, Niigata, or anywhere outside the major cities, you already know how difficult it is. Japanese supermarkets have improved but they do not stock fish sauce, kaffir lime leaves, Thai jasmine rice, or the specific brands you grew up with.

Who we are here for

  • Thai residents in Japan, the largest Southeast Asian community, spread across all 47 prefectures
  • Vietnamese residents, a strong food culture and growing presence across Japan
  • Burmese residents, a community whose cuisine relies on ingredients almost impossible to find locally
  • Malaysian, Indonesian, and other Southeast Asian communities
  • Japanese families with Southeast Asian roots or partners who cook both cuisines

What makes shoppu.jp different

We are not a general Asian food importer. We are specialists. Matsuri Commercial Co., Ltd. has been importing and distributing Thai and Asian food products in Japan for over 18 years. We work directly with producers. We know which brands taste right. And we have built the site in your language. English, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Burmese.

We deliver to all 47 prefectures, including Hokkaido, Okinawa, rural Aichi, and everywhere in between. Standard delivery in 2 to 4 days. Fresh and frozen products shipped in temperature-controlled packaging via Yamato Transport.

A note from us

Building shoppu.jp has been a labour of love. We know what it feels like to live in Japan and crave the food that makes you feel at home. That is exactly why we built this. We hope it helps. And if there is something you are looking for that we do not carry yet, tell us. We are listening.
