Small packs of herbs, spices and medicinal seasonings, Hayashi Shoten, Kobe

One of Japan's three major Chinatowns [Kobe Nanjing Chinatown] Asian herbs, spices, medicinal seasonings, daily necessities and souvenirs are sold here. What's more, Hayashi Shoten sells them in small packages. I love chai spices, pineapple cake and turtle jelly, so I went to Hayashi Shoten to buy them. Hayashi Shoten also has a wide selection of Taiwanese snack ingredients and tea leaves, so it was fun just looking around. Perhaps because the COVID-19 situation has calmed down, there were lines at every store on weekends, making it very busy. ■Address 1-3-18 Sakaemachi-dori, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo ■Access ○Shinkansen "Shin-Kobe Station" → Subway Yamanote Line "Kencho-mae Station" approx. 7 minute walk ○Taxi from "Shin-Kobe Station" approx. 10 minute walk ○JR Kobe Line/Hanshin Electric Railway "Motomachi Station" approx. 5 minute walk ○Hankyu "Kobe-Sannomiya Station" approx. 10 minute walk ○Subway Kaigan Line "Kyukyoryuchi-Daimaru-mae Station" approx. 2 minute walk #Quintessa Campaign #Kobe #Nanjing Chinatown #Asian seasonings #Souvenirs
