Kinokuniya in Omotesando has long been one of the fancy expat international supermarkets in Tokyo.
These days, the clientele are much more likely to be Japanese than foreign, but the prices are still eye-watering. If you’re looking for those super expensive grapes or melons to impress a Japanese friend, colleague or relative, then this is the place.
Kinokuniya also has an excellent bakery (they bake everything on premises), pre-prepared deli, and booze sections.
