KATAGIRI & CO.INC. New York Review

Love this grocery. Any time we're remotely near it, we drop in.

Love love this place....my kids love the noodle soups from there...

This is a great specialty supermarket, stocked with Japanese food products, ingredients and prepared sushi. It is small so stock is limited, clean, very neat and very helpful staff. The shelves aren't labeled, so you have to ask staff to help. They have a great selection of teas and ingredients. Wouldn't purchase vegetables here though.

Very friendly staff and we'll stock with my favorites japanese foods

Japanese food supermarket is basic. There are also items.

The original going back 100 years. More selection available than may seem for a shop this size. Very good and reasonably priced ready-made foods in front.

Just somewhat a bit more pricey for similar Asian products. Otherwise, good number of choices for standard Japanese groceries.

Small store with a comprehensive selection of Japanese foods. I get freshly made (on the premises) sushi every Thursday.

Omg it is like otaku snack heaven. I found a drink that I only found in japan in there.

Love the riceballs and the prep foods. Only authentic japanese store need by in manhattan... a lot of choices of spices.

Prices are reasonable considering the area. The soba I usually buy from Mitsuwa is actually cheaper at Katagiri! They also sell buns from Hamada-ya Bakery at the same price as the bakery.

I'm working through a Japanese cookbook and was in the neighborhood so I stopped by to pick up pantry supplies. They have pretty much everything you'd need, even stuff like konnyaku (devil's tongue jelly), at reasonable enough prices for the UES. I'm not sure what the turnover's like on the prepared foods, but I'd come back here for pantry ingredients.

great food especially for a japanese supermarket in new york city. great onigiris and not very crowded. highly recommend!!

Awesome selection of Japanese food products and some tasty prepared foods.

Most of prepared foods are made by the crew in the front of the store and they're friendly and happy to accommodate changes.

Fresh produce is great and so are meats and fish, plus the service is great.

I think it claims to be the oldest Japanese grocery store in the city. After remodeling it is cleaner and higher end looking but kind of lost some of it's charm. You can no longer tell that it is over a hundred years old.

Yummy finds from Japan! Matcha green tea kit kats, super soft japanese cheesecake, sushi, even some household items. Fresh fish and vegetables too. It's a nice place to discover a new adventure (or a familiar one) for your taste buds.

I have been late to many a thing, just because my route took me past this grocery store and I had to stop in and look for something I didnt realize I wanted. Great store. Always has been.

Small Japanese market but have most of the basic essentials.

Expensive but good Japanese products, not the widest selection.

Katagiri is definitely the best Japanese Grocery Store in Manhattan.
I can get almost Japanese food I want in this small Japanese grocery store.

Nice selections : Premium Beef, pastries by Hamada-ya, freshly made Fugetsu-do wagashi, Japanese confectionery by Sakuraya and fresh vegetables from Suzuki Farm.

It's unavoidable, but it's a shame that there wasn't something that was there the last time I came, depending on the timing, and that it was something I particularly wanted. In my case, I lived in a rural town in the north, so it was quite painful to pay about $ 28 for transportation.

Nice authentic Japanese grocery where you can find fresh quick bite bento or sushi

Pleasant Japanese store. Smaller version of a "Con-bini". Great food. Nice atmosphere

Japanese grocery store with long history. It is rather small but essentials can be found.

There is a special miso for making miso soup that I have found only here and at Sunrise Mart (Astor Place). The price at Katagiri is $1.15 less (18% lower).

They had pocky and green tea poweder, and their sushi seemed guie good. Mind you, it's a grocery, not an eatery, but other than that, seemed like a good place to stop by for J-foodstuff on Manhattan.

Real-deal Japanese grocery near 59th St Bridge in Midtown. Great people, comprehensive inventory, delivery by Mercato.

Me and my family loves this store, there is so much food cooked and uncooked to choose from. The staff is so nice.. Thank you all for having your store in the area...

Mini Japan in USA. Place you can get food, drinks(including alcohol), cosmetics, ready to eat food and sweets from Japan. Price is reasonable. But its quite small especially for during COVID.

I love this place, when I'm in the neighborhood I always grab a few rice balls for lunch. Always fresh and they have so many great imported drinks.

First of all this Japanese store would have all the stuff you need.
However I was disappointed by the Wagyu I bought when I visited last Sunday. It did not seem very fresh but I decided to give it a shot. I put it in the fridge immediately after I got home. When I tried it the next day the meat went bad already - ruined my sukiyaki.
Very upset since I went all the way to the grocery store so I can get Japanese wagyu.

I used to like it here but now Everything is expensive!!

Great supermarket! They have a wonderful selection of food, frozen food, shabu shabu cuts, fish for homemade sushi and in the front they have lots of hot and prepared foods. Definitely a Japanese food paradise. Will be frequenting!

Just found out my fav tiny japanese grocery store was the first in the country lol. Only place I will buy take out sushi and sashimi. Im imagining back in the 1900s walking arnd in muddy streets going to this store. Lol

Japanese clerk, Japanese speaking clerk. They sell real Japanese food at reasonable prices! !

Quick and small Japanese grocery with a nice selection of grab and go prepared sushi and ramen (now provided by Brooklyn Ramen). Fresh sashimi is in the back for great prices, and there are frozen and refrigerated food sections (edamame and frozen soba are my favorites). Onigiri in the afternoon are a great snack for $2-3.

The store is small. It serves as a grocery store and they also have cooked food that is ready to go. However, there is no seating.

Their onigiri are legit the best, and reasonable at 2 dollars. I always make sure to grab one when I walk by the store. Mentaiko always tastes fresh and ocean-y.
Love all the hot prepared foods, and the sushi. <3

Fresh food, Ramen soup is delicious and hot. What else do u want?? Try and be satisfied

Great selection, good quick lunch options, very helpful staff.

Workers are super nice here. Good selections of Japanese food

Nice staff and a variety of goods.
The store sells a lot of imported Japanese goods, including ingredients, snacks, sauces and so on.
Also, the price is affordable as well. Compared to lots of Asian supermarket's prices, the store has a rather low price for certain Japanese goods.
The cooked food is a little pricy for students, but not too expensive (around 10 dollars). If you had not tried udon or Japanese bento yet, you can grab one and try it :)
A recommended Japanese supermarket here in NYC!

I've visited here for the first time in a long time after the pandemic.
Let me write things I felt honestly, I was really disappointed with the customer service, especially cashiers.
It looked they were not friendly and no smile to customers at all. And I saw two women working as cashier talked behind someone's back and complained about something with mumbling, I don't know it was for customer or not but even seeing it objectively, it's inappropriate.
Of course, now we are facing hard time, and maybe for them, they are just working for money, but they should keep in mind to put themselves in customers' shoes. Unless they don't try to keep in mind that, they are seen as low-quality people who never challenge and improve themselves, just getting old.

I like the 41 branch better, this one instead feels more crowded, not as stocked, not very clean and in need of renovation. The staff is not that helpful.

My all time favorite place to shop for my Japanese snacks and foods

Go here every week to get take aways: bowls with raw fish and rice, sushi, rolls, etc. Not only Japanese food but also cosmetics and vegetables. Sometimes that have food tastings.

Well stocked high quality Japanese grocery store Wished they opened one across the river in LIC Ct Square!

Can someone provide the address is mot coming up in google

Top the sushi! I advise travelers to buy and consume on the benches at the intersection with the 2nd.

Nice selection of foods.
The cashiers are very friendly.

It was a great experience as I love Japanese food I found what I was looking for

A long-established Japanese food store that has been in business for a long time. Expired sales are also conscientious. I think this place is quite cheap. It s a good shop.

If only more NYC supermarkets sold ramen and Echigo beer.

If you're looking for a Japanese market in Midtown you'll find here Variety, quality, cleanliness and customer service

Its a little tight in there, but they have things you can't get in a typical american grocery store. Highly recommend if you're into japanese culture and food.

The food is delicious and it's a good way to get imports.

I usually get the Japanese food I want, and I like the cleanliness of the fish and meat display

An incredible place where you will find everything to treat you. Beautiful frozen section. For ramen, sushi, condiments, gadgets, etc.

This place reminds me of the golden gai in Tokyo , or St least I like to reminiscent Everytime I come here. It is a small shop with Japanese specialty foods . I like the deli section and the freshly made sushi , or sometimes I would stop for a bowl of noodles.
The sushi grade fish at the back of the store is also something I go for when I am in the neighborhood and need fish to make sushi at home.

It's got lots of Japanese stuff. Some expensive some normal priced. I buy sushi and it's pretty darn good most of the time. Once it was at closing and sushi was not that great. But overall if u want sushi and won't go to a good restaurant buy it here.
Lots of Japan else products that u don't know how to use but it's here. ...

Yum yum yum! I love going here because there is always something I want to try and usually something else I want to buy to keep for later.

The front of the store has lots of prepared foods, all of which are excellent. Onagiri rock, but so does everything else. I stop here on my lunch hour and sometimes after work, and take things home for dinner.... and if I'm feeling adventurous and not lazy, I buy some excellent fresh ingredients from the main part of the store and make something.

Best Japanese food market in the city!

Has a nice selection of japanese snacks, typically more fresh than the other asian markets in town.
The style of the prepared food has changed though, for the worse in my opinion, and enough for me to take away a star.

Somewhat limited selections these days. But I love that they've been around for so long.

This place has all the Japanese essential snacks! Milky candy, corn puff snacks, shrimp chips, sweet bread, umebushi, sushi, drinks etc.

I love this grocery store!! I can find all of my unique Japanese spices, noodles, candies and more here!! Their packaged foods are fresh - prepared daily, tasty and affordable! I stop in at least once a week to purchase fresh sushi (they also have a sushi stand hand-rolled fretted, if you prefer - for the same price as the packaged sushi) and the staff is always friendly and delightful!

Small Japanese market that sells a large variety of products. I like to but a large part of 1 and 1/2 lbs of soba noodles. Also a brand of soybean paste made with Koji for about $6. Some frozen ramen noodles for about $5. 1 star taken away for the mushy onigiri.
