This has got to be my favourite Japanese convenience store in Auckland. The ambience and the people make it a really being in Tokyo kind of like experience.
They have a wide range m of Japanese snacks, food products, home goods and so on. “All things Japan” would be the perfect name I’d give for this place.
If you’re ever in Sylvia Park, or an anime geek, you should definitely check out this store and trust me, you will not be disappointed.
From delectable mochis to seaweed, variety of noddles, sauces, organisers, snack supplies, you will find it here. As everyone is well aware that Japan has the most exotic varieties of KitkAt, you can get all of them here.

I was so surprised to find that “Choco-Bee” was available here 🥺 ( a snack that is the main character’s favourite snack in the anime “Shin Chan”). When I got a few of those for my little brother back home, he was so excited and happy !

You can buy some of similar snacks but Korean ones, cheaper at Pak and Sav or New World. Plenty parking around the corner but getting in and out of Sylvia Park can take up to 30min during peak hours so allow plenty time. Recommending a visit as parking is definitely easier than...
Read moreEverything was wildly overpriced—but of course, I still bought stuff because why not? Spent over $100, and the first lady even bagged it all up for me, like we were done. I was literally about to walk out, but then another staff member starts speaking to her in a language I didn’t understand. Next thing I know, she rushes over to tell me they forgot to add 50 cents to the bill. I guess the $100+ I just spent wasn’t nearly as important as that missing ¢50, I will miss you and wont ever go there again, i was planning a japan theme party and about to ask my friends to go grab ur stuff from your shop.....
