Question:
Me and my family are going to Tokyo and we would like to bring back some Japanese food to cook at home such as seaweed, mirin or miso. We would also like to see a typical japanse supermarket where locals buy their food. Where would you buy these kinds of stuff?
Answer:
Department store basement markets are not the best place to find the cheaper deals etc you would find in a regular Japanese market. Mirin and miso are common items that you could find them in 100yen shops as well. Essentially you need to go into the residential areas, not the areas around the big stations, a lot of those intermediate stations between the large stations you can find groceries. Even in Shinjuku, once you walk a bit beyond the neon lights will be regular neighborhoods with neighborhood shops.
Be careful and check your home countrie's customs laws to see what type of food you are allowed to bring back.
