If you have a big family or big eaters, and live in central Tokyo one of your go to supermarket shopping locations should be Hanamasa Wholesale Supermarkets (Niku no Hanamasa (肉のハナサ). Hanamasa is a wholesale supermarket whose 
roots began as a supplier to restaurants, but is now open to the public and open 24/7 at most locations. There are over 40 stores in Tokyo, and more in Kanagawa and Chiba.
Hanamasa Wholesale Supermarkets – Niku no Hanamasa (肉のハナサ)
Japan grocery storet chains, such as Maruetsu, Peacock, and Precce offer similar products but not in the size or price that Hanamasa offers. Hanamasa, open 24/7, offers 
a huge selection of meat, fish, alcohol and cooking staples. They also offer large size bags of fruits and veggies. The size is smaller than Costco but larger than 
your local food market. I shop at the Hanamasa on Minami Azabu, and the prices are at least 10-20% lower than local stores, and 30-40% cheaper than the “international” stores. They also have special sale days each month on which you can get 10% off all meat or 20% off all veggies etc.
Hanamasa also accepts credit cards and has free delivery from each store within a 2-3 kilo radius.

Hi Lauren and Sandra, i love the prices here too! however, one of the concerns that I hear about Hanamasa is that the produce is from areas near Fukushima or even China. while one could argue if it’s fair to call this food “dirty” i’m still wondering if you could shed some light here. I can’t read labels myself unfortunately. Thanks!
Hi, Thanks for your I went to Hanamasa today to actually try to quantify “that the produce is from areas near Fukushima or even China”. Actually I found no produce from Fukushima and only some peeled garlic and nira from China. All of the produce shows on the signs and/or labels which prefecture the produce is from and most that I saw was from Kumamoto, Chiba and Saitama. The meats were from Japan, Canada, US, Australia and New Zealand. Frozen foods seems to be mostly from Japan. I did not check all items so there might be some but not the majority! To be safe, learn the Kanji for Fukushima and China and check the labels. Hope this helps. Lauren
I rally appreciate the due diligence – thank you! And learning the kanji of areas around Fukushima too so I can do it on my own moving forward 🙂
Ali, You are welcome! Lauren
