Yamaya

Topics: Grocery Shopping

Wendy's supermarket article reminded me that Yamaya (http://www.yamaya.co.jp/ -- English info available) has moved their Shibuya shop closer to the station and expanded it greatly (here's a map).

These guys stock booze and some import foodstuffs, and they're dirt cheap. For example, Friexnet Cava (a Spanish sparkling wine) is 1,300-1,500 yen almost everywhere, but only 1,050 yen there. This is also one of the very, very few cheap places to buy food in the Shibuya station area. We don't seem to have any real supermarkets here, only very expensive depa-chika.

Of course, if you buy your booze at Bic camera, you can get 10% or more back in points. Or the other way around: you can use your points to buy booze. A laptop purchase will get you drunk as a skunk.
