About
A large Thai- and Southeast Asian-focused supermarket on the 2nd floor of the Chaleur Shinjuku building, a 3-minute walk from Higashi-Shinjuku Station (Exit A1) or 13 minutes from Shin-Okubo Station. Direct-imports Thai and other Asian ingredients such as fish sauce, curry pastes, coconut milk, noodles and frozen foods, and is listed among Shinjuku's halal-friendly grocery stores.
Eating in Tokyo
Tokyo's South Asian food is dominated by a specific format: a Nepali-run kitchen serving a largely North Indian menu, built around a weekday lunch set of curry, enormous naan and a small salad. It is so consistent that it is effectively its own genre. Underneath it sits a smaller, more interesting layer of genuinely Nepali cooking, and a handful of serious regional Indian restaurants.
