Japanese Culture in New York - Chopsticks NY

Tomiya is a new Japanese grocery store that opened this month by the owners of Tomi Jazz, a jazz club that features homey Japanese food in Midtown Manhattan. The grocery store located above the jazz club on the 2nd floor offers take out versions of the Tomi Jazz menu in addition to all the other basic Japanese grocery standards like sauces, frozen foods, dried foods, and snacks. Take-out foods such as lunch boxes and rice balls are prepared in their own kitchen, allowing customers to enjoy homemade, hearty flavors. “Our store is targeted to help our very busy business people who generally come by to get what they need for that day, much like a “conbini”, convenient store in Japan”, explains owner Mr. Ken Mukohata. Naturally, energy drinks are one of the best sellers.

Serving homemade take-out foods, accessible from commercial and business areas, and open late, Tomiya Japanese Grocery Store is indispensable for city life. It is also open until 4 am Mon.-Sat. and untill 2 am on Sun. and houses many household products so you can always go home with what you need.

Tomi Jazz Bar menu items such as curry rice, hayashi rice, chahan (fried rice), are always available to go.

The store is stocked with a great selection of energy drinks that sell like hotcakes.

Homemade breads and rice balls are made fresh daily, so even the single guys won’t miss out on the home-cooked taste.
