The Good Stuff
Frozen selection
The frozen section is repeatedly noted as a strong point for Japanese cooking ingredients and seafood.
Kitchenware
You can shop for Japanese cookware, crockery and sushi-making equipment alongside the groceries.
Japanese knives
The store is a useful Dubai source for Japan-made knives, including options suited to sushi preparation.
Organised service
Several shoppers describe the store as neatly organised, with friendly, helpful staff and fast service.
Tea selection
Japanese green tea is a standout for regular tea shoppers, with one review noting bottled tea actually made in Japan.
Korean options
Although Japanese products are the focus, shoppers also find a useful selection of Korean ingredients.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check labels. If halal suitability matters, check each product rather than assuming the whole range is suitable.
Inspect chilled. For refrigerated purchases, check the condition and temperature after the earlier report of food arriving almost at room temperature.
Compare pricing. Compare individual and set prices at checkout; one shopper reported AED32 for a set whose pieces totalled AED28 separately.
Ask knives. For an expensive knife purchase, ask for product guidance, as a shopper wanted specialists to explain suitable options.
Check availability. If you need a specific fresh item or noodle, call or check stock first; reviews mention missing onigiri and dry shirataki noodles.

The Bottom Line
Deans Fujiya in Oud Metha is a specialist Japanese grocery with enough depth to support both a Japanese dinner at home and a more focused kitchen shop. Reviews mention Japanese rice, miso, noodles, sauces and sweets, as well as frozen seafood and other frozen ingredients. There is also cookware and sushi equipment, so you can pick up sushi powder or making mats rather than just pantry food.
The store’s most distinctive shopping is around Japanese treats and everyday favourites: Kewpie mayo, mochi ice cream, matcha-flavoured ice cream, ramen instant noodles and Japanese green tea all come up in customer visits. Japanese-made bottled tea has also been specifically noted. Korean ingredients are available too, though the store’s identity is clearly Japanese.
Prices are described by some shoppers as reasonable compared with other Japanese supermarkets, while others call the products pricey. Check labels carefully, especially after one reported discrepancy between a spoon-and-rest set and the same pieces bought separately. Muslim shoppers should verify halal suitability, and anyone buying chilled goods should inspect storage and condition.
Stock can be uneven for fresh items, small rice packs and particular noodles, so a quick availability check may save a wasted trip.
