Community Reviews
Authenticity
As a 40 year old Japanese grocery chain importing directly from Japan, authenticity is not a concern. Nijiya carries actual Japanese formulations of products (not US reformulations). On r/JapaneseFood, a user recommended "Nijiya Market on Amazon" as a "good source" for authentic Japanese products.
In Store Beauty Selection
Beauty products are available in store but this is primarily a grocery store. Shoppers can find Japanese sunscreens (Biore UV, Anessa), face masks, and basic skincare alongside groceries. Selection varies by location and is not comprehensive.
Online Presence
Nijiya operates an online store (shop.nijiya.com) focused on grocery and confectionery items. They also sell on Amazon. The online beauty selection is very limited compared to in store. Staff at physical locations often speak Japanese and can help with product questions.
