About this store

Peacock is a branch of the chain, sitting on Asagayaminami in Asagaya within the shopping district, and what you notice first is how much is packed into a small footprint: raw and cooked food, alcohol, daily necessities, all in one building shared with Daiso in the basement and Shimamura on the second floor.

The prepared side dishes are the thing to come for, and the counter has grown. Homemade rice balls are made in-house and are the item to put in your basket first.

Layout is straightforward: the food floors are compact enough to walk in a few minutes, Daiso downstairs covers the household odds and ends, and a multi-function copier by the entrance makes black and white copies for 5 yen. Self-checkout machines sit at the front.

Prices sit on the higher side for a store this size, though the Tuesday and Wednesday sales bring items down. The prepared dishes do not come out until close to noon, so an early-morning run finds the counter still filling. A basket lands around ¥1,000–3,000.

Advertised items can be gone right after opening. It suits anyone staying in Asagaya who wants a cooked meal and a few groceries in one stop.

The verdict

Prices here run higher than at a stronger example of the format and advertised items can be gone right after opening, but the expanded prepared counter and in-house rice balls still make it a sensible stop for a cooked meal in Asagaya.
