Dainobu

Cool store offering a nice selection of Japanese food and merchandise. The staff was nice

Mainly, I'm leaving this review to help everybody out. I went there today and felt immediately lost. There's no sign for this place. There's a door to a residential building nearby that says 302 and 300, but that's not the place. I was lucky that someone from the neighborhood was walking around and pointed me in the right direction. You want to go through the large gate to the left of that building and then go straight ahead.
Going inside, the place is just like the pictures. A bit rough and industrial looking. That's okay because I'm not here for the aesthetics; I'm here for the food.
I was happy to see that they have a good variety of natto, snacks, sauces, noodles, etc. There's also handmade items and skincare. There's a frozen food section that isn't very big but has some things I'll want to buy later. They have a small ice cream freezer.
I didn't see much when it comes to readymade food except maybe some jello cups and a bowl of noodles with eggs and whatever.
So you'll probably ask why I'm giving it 5 stars. Well, it's offering more than I expected. It fills a niche for that location that I greatly appreciate. The red bean mochi cake I bought tastes the freshest that I've ever had. The staff was very nice.
I'll be back for the natto. :)

Really cool industrial style japanese store, went mainly for special groceries and they had what I needed to make Sukiyaki! Love it.

Such a lovely addition to the Park Slope area! A great selection of groceries, skincare, and clothing on their lower level. Loved spending time looking around, and I'll definitely be coming back!

Wow! What a lovely shop!
Lots of choices.. ! Groceries, food and lots of other Japanese stuff too!
Very friendly staff aswell

Cute little gem of a Japanese mini mart hidden away in Park Slope, next to a Japanese hair salon of good quality. Tasty Japanese snacks and some staples with some prepared food.

I first encountered Dainobu at their Manhattan Union Square location.

A gem of a Japanese market in park slope. Halfway between 4th and 5th aves on 7th st so hard to find. A good selection of Japanese food for home cooks.... especially the dry goods like noodles, sauces and condiments. Frozen meats, fish and foods in back are well chosen. Excellent cafe in front.

What an awesome find in the neighborhood! There isn't a whole lot of Japanese food inside, but there's still some goodies to check out including a hair salon, fried chicken, and Japanese beauty products. Hope to see more Japanese shops in the future!
