Harashin Supermarket

Large spacious supermarket, but busy on weekends

Harashin is a large supermarket chain - this particular branch is in Koide. It's a very nicely laid out supermarket with wide aisles and nicely designed sections (including a pizza spot, sushi area, and more!) but a word of warning - it is very busy on weekends. They have some of the best pre-packaged heat and eat styled meals, very pretty bento, and a lot of more "western options" such as a whole entertaining section with things like olives and cured meats (perfect for a charcuterie board!). There's a large parking lot right out the front, but it's not undercover. Even on the weekends when the supermarket is busy there are still tons of parks available so you shouldn't need to worry in that regard. It's a much more pleasant experience shopping there during the week though!
