Tokyo has numerous supermarkets offering various Italian ingredients, but for authentic, carefully selected items, specialty shops are recommended. These include Enoteca Alice (Nerima), known for Italian wines and ham; Fior di Maso (Azabu Juban), a cheese and ham paradise; Piatti (Komaba), offering fresh ingredients and kitchen goods; Il Mercatino (Hiroo), providing fresh veggies and more; Storie d’Italia (Uchisaiwaicho), focusing on quality, pesticide-free products, and Il gusto Dolce Vita (Kagurazaka) which has permanently closed, but still operates online.
