Our Story

A family business, rooted in Cardiff since 1999

We opened our doors in 1999, when few people in Wales had heard of Korean or Japanese food. We built the business from scratch with no contacts and very little English between us, just a belief that Cardiff deserved a proper East Asian grocery store.

Over 25 years on, Korean and Japanese food remains at the heart of what we do, and we're proud to call Cardiff home.
