Inside Singapore’s NEWEST Japanese Supermarket (worth it?)
A new supermarket from Japan just opened in Singapore but my questions is – do we need another one of this? Currently there are many Japanese supermarkets in this small country and I wanted to see what makes this one different.

GHIB OJISAN – Good afternoon from HKSAR 🇭🇰May I please ask why you upload this video so early in the day……? ? 🤔🤔🤔🤔Your video normally and usually shown in the evening at 7:30 p.m…….What a good surprise 😳 😳😁😁😁😁
Make sure you pay before you leave the store, ah ! You just eat and drink at the spot 🤨🤨😳😳
Don't need better than donki! just another choice!!!
$1.68 i can buy Two broccoli at Sheng Siong~
❤❤❤
Seems like a regular supermarket, partially stocked with JP products and wrapped in a JP skin to increase curb appeal.
Maybe because there are agricultural or processed food produce from Fukushima, so blanketed all labels without Country of Origin.
Good to have more choices and it doesn't try to sell its Japanese-ness.
Wah…..thank you Ojisan for this video=)
Reminds me of 業務スーパーlol
Thank you so much for your recommendations, however it's hard to survive in Singapore and in Tanjong pagar area. Most cheapo Sillaporeans prefer the CCP PRC chi-na food from Scarlett, I would prefer more Japan store over CCP PRC Chi-na store
Even Yaohan closed down 😂
Anyone remembers Emporium Shokuhin, formerly Singapore's first integrated Japanese emporium and supermarket at Marina Square, from 2015-2018? I found it so impressive but too bad it incurred much financial losses and was forced to close. Nice to see another Japanese supermarket opening here, bringing us affordable and variety of Japanese products, especially for those who cannot travel to Japan – just hope they can survive the stiff competition and rental costs here…
❤ wow.. thank u for the sharing
Very reasonable prices.
Cool. Wish have online delivery
😊
I really would also like that they tell me where the produce are all from. It makes a difference in my decision to purchase.
i think it will bankrupt soon the choices so limited i rather go don don donki waste money open pathetic shop
Looks like will go bust in 6 months. this is too small
I'm going to check out this place
If I remember correctly, Natto 3-Pack at Don Don Donki is $2.90. At FairPrice Xtra, same 3 types cost $3.90 (still cheaper than the Made in Malaysia one! 👀)
Ya, Natto is more expensive in Singapore probably due to shipping cost.
live lobsters for 30 sgd is not bad. Used to cook/steam live lobsters in US and they were really cheap there.
Ojisan, Onimaru onigiri from Kyoto is open in hougang mall. The first stall in SG.
ご無沙汰してます。🎉
日本のA-priceも一緒です。
グルメ店のコックさんとかが買いに来る店です。
私も食材より調味料は買いますヨ〜❣️
年末年始に行くサーチャージがいくらになるか心配です。
日本でもAプライスは業務用のイメージが強いですね、野菜や鶏肉がたまに割引になっていてスーパーで買うよりお得な場合が多いのでよく行きます!
Do they do deliveries?
Looks so so. Uwajimaya in Seattle is the gold standard for a Japanese market outside of Japan. Thanks for the vid.
There are many Japanese restaurants in TP area and I think the restaurants' kitchen staff will appreciate some convenience in sourcing for ingredients.
And I hope that the store front is just for "show" only with the real deals being made by the chefs and the shop owner behind the counter to bring in ingredients that are rare or is cheaper through consolidated shipping channels. Afterall, that's how wholesaling works even if it's to bring in rare stuff like monkfish.
That is the only way this shop can survive with the crazy rents in TP area.
So the shop front is there simply to perhaps showcase new items sourced from HQ in Japan in order to give more exposure to Japanese food that is very regional, like whitebait from Kamakura.
In Singapore, it seems like our whitebait are from Indonesia. In Kamakura, whitebait can be eaten raw! Although, I prefer it boiled.
I went Lawson when I was in Tokyo. I bought and tried a mochi there, it was the softest mochi I have ever tried, I went back several times but they were out of stock, I hope they import it to Singapore, I wanted to eat it very much
Hope you can do a video where we can buy sashimi at wholesale prices for home consumption
Ghib grabbed a big basket, and took only 1 packet of japalenos! 🤣 WHY?! You could have just grab the packet of jalapenos and hand it to the cashier! hahaha!
Love your honest review of this supermarket though~ 👍🏼💕
You didn’t ask the boss the broccoli from which country?
Yeah definitely ojisan! I need my Japanese supermarket to get ingredients I couldn't get from other local Japanese supermarkets.
6 months it’ll be closed and another business will open to try their luck.
Feels like 業務スーパー, the ones I went when I was studying in jp! So cool
restaurants in the vicinity can save time just walk over instead of waiting for their supplier to deliver so don't need to be cheaper.
U sound more singaporean now 😅 love it!
Ask the worker for Kopi c kosong siew dai gah dai peng gao di Po
Eggs are well-priced for a supermarket. It's usually ~6.8 to 7.9 in other local supermarkets
My all time most preferred is still Meidi-ya..
How to get there
waiting for Tsuruya supermarket to open in Singapore
In video: Max hygiene: Use the back of your fingers to press the button.
8:51 Pasta brand A, 5 KG priced at $42. Pasta brand B, 1 KG, priced at $4.50. If you buy five packets of Pasta brand B, the total price is $22.50, which is 40+% cheaper than Pasta brand B. Wouldn’t this result in dead stock occupying shelf space, where the shelf space incurs rental expenses and opportunity costs, netting significant financial losses over time? Please provide feedback to A-Price, Japanese supermarket, Tanjong Pagar, Singapore, management.
Thank you for introducing A Price. Interesting 😃 love all your videos ❤
ICYMI, this store is run under TOHO Singapore which is one of the biggest Japanese-origin Foodstuff Supplier and Distributor here, alongside Pan Pacific Retail Management (which is the franchise owner of Donki SG).
So whatever TOHO Singapore distributes here, there's a very high chance you can find it in the A-Price Store (which is like a retail storefront for the Distributor to showcase the products they distribute from JP Suppliers).
Also, it's for Japanese Dish preparation in the same way Phoon Huat (AKA Redman) is for desserts/confectionary, if you know what I mean.
