Shochiku Internationaler Supermarkt

Shochiku, a Japanese supermarket in Düsseldorf, is widely praised for offering an authentic and comprehensive shopping experience reminiscent of grocery stores in Tokyo. Customers appreciate the wide variety of typical Japanese ingredients, fresh seafood, seasonal produce, and ready-to-eat foods such as bento boxes, sushi, onigiri, takoyaki, and freshly made ramen. The store’s selection includes specialty items often hard to find elsewhere in Europe, like real Japanese mochi, natto, thinly sliced beef tongue, and high-quality sashimi-grade fish. Many highlight the freshness and quality of the products, especially seafood, and the availability of traditional Japanese household goods and kitchen utensils. Visitors often note that while prices are somewhat higher than in Japan, the convenience of accessing authentic Japanese products locally, without needing to travel, makes it worthwhile. The friendly and knowledgeable staff, as well as perks like a customer loyalty card offering double points on Wednesdays, add to the positive experience. Shochiku is also praised for its cozy atmosphere, with benches outside to enjoy purchased snacks and quick meals. The supermarket’s range of products and authentic ambiance allow shoppers to get a genuine taste of Japan, making it a favorite destination for both everyday essentials and special culinary adventures.
