Summary
Hanaro Markt, an international supermarket located in the heart of Düsseldorf's Little Tokio, stands as one of the largest Asian grocery stores in Germany, specializing in Korean and Japanese food products and kitchenware. With opening hours from Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, it offers a wide selection of ingredients essential for Korean and Japanese cooking, albeit at a higher price point due to import costs—typically 30-40% more than standard German supermarkets. Shoppers can find unique items, including fresh and frozen specialties such as rice cakes, with occasional discounts on nearly expired goods. Despite the higher costs, the market provides a treasure trove for culinary enthusiasts, encouraging visits not only for grocery shopping but also for sampling delicious ready-to-eat meals and treats. For those living more than two hours away, a trip to Düsseldorf is recommended, making the experience of visiting Hanaro Markt truly worthwhile.

## The Asian Supermarket of Superlatives
Hanaro Markt is a Korean supermarket in the Little Tokyo district of Dusseldorf. This Asian supermarket is one of the largest Asian supermarkets in Germany. Here you will find mainly Korean and Japanese foodstuffs and useful kitchen utensils. If you like to cook Korean or Japanese, you will definitely find everything you need here, if you have the necessary cash.
## Imported goods are expensive
Goods from Japan, Korea and China are generally more expensive in Germany than regular goods found in supermarkets. You should plan on spending about 30-40% more at a Hanaro Markt visit than for a similar purchase in a German supermarket. This is because the products must be imported to Germany and therefore the high transport costs are passed on to the end consumer. In any case, you need special products for Korean and Japanese cuisine, which you will definitely find in Hanaro Markt. Occasionally, there are special offers at Hanaro Markt, or products that are close to their best-before date. Here you can definitely save a lot of money if you want to buy these products anyway.
## Fresh, frozen and diverse
In addition to packaged and frozen products, Hanaro Markt also offers many freshly prepared Korean specialties, such as rice cakes or various dishes, which are perfect for enjoying during your lunch break. However, you have to be there in person and many of you cannot easily get to Hanaro Markt. If you live further than 2 hours away, I recommend that you save up some money and visit the city of Dusseldorf and Little Tokyo. A visit to the largest Korean supermarket in Germany is definitely possible.
I personally like to go to Hanaro Markt because I find everything I need to cook. Sometimes I also get a dish or a delicious Korean or Japanese sweet treat. Therefore, I can definitely recommend the Asian supermarket "Hanaro Markt".
