I want to use this thread to make a list of stores in which we can find non-Japanese type foods.

This is for either stores or online shops please feel free to add some of your own favorites or send them to me for inclusion as I may try to combine things for easier reading.
Most of the stores I have experience with are in the Tokyo area so please so if you have information for others cities please add it.
I will try to organize them by category, General International, Korean, Thai, Indian, etc...

This is a work in progress so please bear with me!

WOW, torakris! Just WOW! That's absolutely astonishing - what a clickety-click pleasure you've provided us with. Thanks a million!

Thanks!
I got the idea because when people find out that I really love cooking they always ask me "do you know where I can buy xxxxx in Japan?"

You might want to check back frequently because I am adding new places almost daily and they will not be shown as new posts rather they are edited in to the existing posts.

I really hope people can get use out of this!
