Hello and welcome to Epicerie Umai, your online Japanese delicatessen.

“Umai” means “delicious” in Japanese. We chose this name because our mission is to select the very best Japanese products for you. Products whose quality and taste will dazzle even the most inexperienced palate. This is our commitment and our priority!

Everything you find with us has to be delicious, from essential basics like round rice or dashi broth to specialties like artisanal “hatcho miso” or the seven-spice blend “kyo-shichimi”.

We’re passionate about these products. So we know them inside and out, and are always happy to share what we know about them with you. Where they come from, how they’re made, what they can be used for… We’ve researched all this information beyond the language barrier for fun, out of curiosity, but most of all out of a passion for Japanese cuisine. Ultimately, this is what we hope to pass on to you. In our humble opinion, the Japanese culinary tradition is at least as rich and profound as the French culinary tradition…

Since its creation in January 2022, Epicerie Umai welcomes you to its website as well as to its boutique located at 22 rue de la Villette, in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. We’re open from Monday to Saturday, from 11 am to 8 pm, and we’ll be happy to advise you.
