Nishi-Kasai 5-8-5, Edogawa-ku, Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan
An Indian grocery nicknamed 'the Indian supermarket', about six minutes from Nishi-Kasai Station, serving the area's South Indian community. Stocks South Indian groceries, frozen parathas and rotis, ghee, rice, atta, pulses, oils, pickles and curry leaves, with occasional vegetables imported from India; takes phone orders with home delivery in the Ojima and Toyocho areas.
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.
