Gyomu Super Itō (業務スーパー 伊東店) is a compact, no-frills grocery store that clearly caters to locals. Limited selection, tight aisles—but if you know what you're looking for and appreciate a neighborhood vibe, it might just win you over. 3/5 – Unpretentious, hyper-local, and unapologetically itself.
Full Review: Gyomu Super Itō (業務スーパー 伊東店) is, without question, a store that knows its audience. This isn't a flashy stop on a tourist’s checklist, nor is it trying to be. It's a lean, utilitarian grocery store that’s unapologetically local, and there’s something commendable about that kind of retail self-awareness.
Walk in and you’ll immediately notice two things: tight aisles and focused inventory. Don’t expect a sprawling selection of premium imports or extravagant displays—this place is straight to the point. If anything, it feels like a store that's remained virtually untouched by outside trends, and instead continues serving its regulars exactly how they like it.
During my visit, I saw a steady stream of locals—baskets in hand, confidently navigating the space with purpose. It’s the kind of store that people come to when they already know what they want. If that sounds like a limitation, maybe it is. But to those who favor consistency over choice, that’s a feature, not a flaw.
Now, this isn’t to say the store lacks merit for newcomers. If you're comfortable weaving through narrow aisles, and you're fine with a more modest assortment, you might be surprised by what you find—particularly in bulk items, frozen goods, and sauces. There’s value to be had, if you know where to look.
Tourists or those with expectations of a polished, all-inclusive shopping experience might be underwhelmed. But I wouldn’t call that a failure of the store—it’s more about alignment of expectations. Gyomu Super Itō isn't trying to be everything for everyone—and that’s precisely what makes it work.
Final Verdict: 3/5 It may not be the star of the show, but Gyomu Super Itō serves its community with a quiet confidence. You’ll either get it, or you won’t—and the store seems perfectly...

吉田店が出来るまでは、ヤマダ電機と共に頻繁に利用していました。 通りから奥まった場所に位置していて若干解りにくいのですが、ヤマダ電機の横の道を入っていくだけなので間違える事はないでしょう。 業務スーパーの中ではやや古めの店舗で、通路が狭いです。 当分の間、19...
