Nijiya Market (ニジヤマーケット) is a Japanese supermarket chain in America, with locations in California, New York, and Hawaii.
Nijiya Market opened its first store in San Diego, California in 1986.[1][2] Since its inception, it has offered a large variety of Japanese food products. In addition, Nijiya sells organic vegetables grown on its own farm.[2]
Currently, Nijiya Market operates 13 stores in California, New York and Hawaii. Among its locations are sites in San Francisco's Japantown,[3] San Jose's Japantown,[4] and Los Angeles' Little Tokyo.
Nijiya Market publishes a magazine “Gochiso” (quarterly in Japanese, annually in English) which introduces its own products along with traditional Japanese recipes and articles covering the history of Japanese food culture.[2] It is through Gochiso and its business operations that Nijiya participates in the practice of shokuiku.
