Dainobu

Cute little convenience store. All manners of Japanese food, snacks, and wares. There’s a tiny small seafood station and produce in the back, and in the front there’s ready to eat food. A microwave is conveniently provided for those that need one. Asahi cans at 1.29. Would highly recommend as a casual detour or quick stop over. Definitely a nice little find.

Lots of Japanese products and a lot of delicious Japanese Drinks!

This is a small (this is Manhattan of course,) but well stocked Japanese Grocery Store. This grocery store has sauces, seasonings, breads, sweets/desserts, prepared dinner/lunches, a butcher/deli counter, frozen foods, and cold drinks. If your looking for a specific Japanese food, this grocery store is going to have it.

I mainly come here to buy Japanese milk tea drinks, coffee drinks, and bean cakes. For the coffees, my favorite coffees are Pokka Coffee Gold and Ucc Coffee. Both of these coffees are similar to the Starbucks Frappachinos, but not as sweet nor as creamy. My favorite Milk tea has to be Ito En Milk Tea Hawaiian style. Those three drinks are crack!

The Vitamin Cc Lemon is pretty good. It tastes like Fresca, but instead of having a grapefruit flavor, it has a lemon flavor. The Suntory black tea is good (unsweetened) but its a bit pricey $2.50. The Calpico literally tastes like Lychee.

The Bean cakes are good and my two favorite cakes are the wheate cake and the cake with the sesame seeds on it.

This is a very good store to go in and buy a drink, a bean cake, or Japanese groceries!

I just love this store right around from work. It’s small but packs a full Japanese store experience here in midtown east. I love my bento box lunch. It’s clean and great food and nice staff.

Best Japanese grocery store in the city. Great quality fish and sushi along with your traditional Japanese grocery selection.

Small store but great place. Their frozen items（except meat and fish）are 40% off Every weekend. Towards to the end of every month, they also have special sale callrd niconico Day!! You can also find good sales all the time. Highly recommend!!
Now they have ramen and onigiri!!

When I found out that this Japanese grocery store sold onigiri (a Japanese rice ball), I had to visit. I tried it, and it was great. Def recommend it.

Great selection of Japanese foods and snacks. Freshly made sushi and poke bowls as well as other housemade lunch options. Prices are reasonable for the area and there are frequent sales on packages foods.

Excellent selection of Japanese pantry items

Amazing place! Fresh sushi for a great price. Delicious mochi and other things! Friendly staff. Totally recommend 👍

The store is small but it is jam-packed with Japanese snacks, drinks, microwavable foods, sushi, frozen foods, sweets etc. We bought karaage chicken onigiri which were only $2.50 each, spicy tuna sushi (I believe it was $6.99). The microwavable snacks and meals were very affordable as well, ranging from $3-$12. I was also tempted to buy some umeboshi straight from Japan. I think I will when I stop by next time!

Love this tiny little spot! They got great selections of Japanese snacks and bento.
I went for hot food section too and got beef&tofu combo over rice. It was very delicious and cheap! Their fried chicken wasn’t impressive so I will skip that next time.
Their drinks were pretty good and their seasonings including curry are tasty.
The cashiers were friendly and efficient. No complaints at all for this convenience store!

One of my favorite places to get groceries in the city. Excellent assortment of imported goods, frozen goods, snacks, produce, meat. They stock the stuff you won't find at Whole Foods or any of the other big chains. Friendly staff. Also, well-organized and compact, never takes me long to get what I need and check out.

So glad this store is in midtown. Great place to get all sorts of fun Japanese food and they have some good hot food options for lunch too now!

Dainobu is a wonderful Japanese market in midtown...their prices are fair if not downright inexpensive, their selection of produce, products and cosmetics is staggering, and their food items are impressive. All this with great customer service as well.

A winner in every way.

Love this Japanese grocery store. Has lots of grab and go meals as well as some groceries and snacks.

Love this Japanese convince store. They have some delicious food! I love to get the lunch noodles. And the prices are affordable for the area. I definitely be back here again. The line to pay is always long so they must be doing something right :)

I like stopping by when I am in Midtown. They have a good selection of Japanese snacks. The best konbini in Midtown. They sometimes keep the Matcha dark chocolate Alfort cookie, as well as the Maple and other flavors, in stock. Their karaage and rice bowl is also very tasty. The store staff are very friendly

Nice little Japanese supermarket. Has good selection of Japanese household goods, groceries, and sweets. As with all things Japanese, it is on the expensive side. Lunch selection is pretty good as well. I will also point you to the large stash of Ito En tea. It's really good.

Great little japanese convenience store that carries prepared foods, drinks, snacks, cooking supplies, even alcohol. There's a coffee maker and microwave in case you want to heat up your lunch here. In the back is a noodle stand, I think. I only ever visit after work hours, but I assume it must be popular with the business crowd. I like that the selection of snacks and drinks change often, so I get to try new flavors of pocky and etc. as they come out. The staff are very friendly.

My favorite japanese store! They have the most kind staff members, and all the niche japanese items that I need to make some Japanese home cooked food. They have good sales on Saturday & Sunday for their frozen foods and prepared foods.
