Opened in 1907, Katagiri Japanese Grocery is the oldest Japanese market in America. Their original location is still serving fresh fish, lunch boxes, and tradition to customers at 224 E 59th St, New York, NY 10022.
The local Asian grocery store is more than just a place to shop for hard-to-find snacks and unique ingredients. For many people, they're also a piece of home. In this episode of New York Chronicles: The Asian American Small Business Journey, we're going on grocery runs to Japanese, Thai, and Korean markets that bring the flavors and comforts of Asia right to our doorsteps in NYC.
