If you’re a lover of Japanese cuisine, make your way to J-Shop. There’s no shortage of Japanese goods there, as the establishment is a grocery store with an eatery conveniently located inside that serves made-to-order bentos.

Situated on Young Street, J-Shop features some of the most sought-after Japanese food items, as well as many other products that are unavailable anywhere else on the island.

“We try to bring a variety of foods from Japan,” says manager Takakazu Maeda.
