Hmmm… it seems like Japan is a favorite destination this year…. so for those who are craving for Japanese food or something Japanese, check this out! Of course nothing will be the same as being actually in Japan and the assortment they have there…
Since Coop closed down ( Sango and Coop March 1, 2007 ), I have been waiting for them to relocate. Thanks to Kai for telling me about Choto Stop which is in Japan Town near one of our favorite restaurants, Kikufuji (Kikufuji November 11, 2008). Sorry for the unclear photos, I was hiding from the Japanese owner who might stop me from taking photos 🙂 It is much bigger than the old COOP and seems to have more things
Located at 2277 Chino Roces Ave., San Lorenzo Village, Makati
And another one which my cousin, Ana, told me about. It is located between Metropolitan st. and Sacred heart st. behind the Makati Post Office and near Sacred Heart church. I went only once and was not able to take photos. But it is a very decent, clean and nice mini japanese grocery. They even have a meat section

Good to know ….. I am a big fan of Japanese goodies !
Hi Rica, So Coop has not relocated yet?
This is the former COOP. My cousin, Ana, and my brother, Mike, just confirmed it
From my cousin Ana who can speak and understand Japanese 😉
* “seikyou”— means “coop store”. thus, when you see that blue sign, that is the “coop” as you knew it!
* “chotto”— means “short time”, “quick”. in other words, it’s now called “mini-stop”! 🙂
Was just in Choto Shop last week! I love it there. Haven’t been to New Hatchin yet but Nolet said it’s worth stopping by!
