A small Asagaya greengrocer built around fruit

Takano Seika is an independent greengrocer in Asagaya, a few minutes from Asagaya station, and the first thing you notice is how little floor there is. The shop is small, and the cash register and packing area are especially cramped, so you queue close to the shelves while you pay.

Fruit is what to buy. Overripe pieces sit on the shelf at a discount, which is fine if you plan to eat them the same day.

Prices are the draw: produce here costs less than at a typical greengrocer, and a basket lands somewhere between ¥1,000 and ¥3,000.

Staff are professional and pleasant, and the checkout and packing area is cramped. Come for the fruit and the prices.

    One parent was inspecting them for a small child.

Who is this for

This suits a traveler staying in Asagaya who wants fruit and vegetables at prices below a typical greengrocer. It suits a family provisioner buying strawberries and other fruit for a small child, since the shop is a short stop rather than a full weekly shop.

If you need daily essentials and ready-to-eat items rather than fresh produce, Maibasuketto Minamiasagayasuzurandoriten is 200 m away and stays open until midnight.

The verdict

The shop is small and cramped at the checkout, but it still suits anyone in Asagaya who wants cheap produce.
