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! :biggrin:
