Japanese grocery store to open new location in downtown Vancouver
Aburi Restaurant Canada is at it again, this time bringing us another location of its premium Japanese Washoku concept, Aburi Market.
Customers can expect to find Aburi Market’s signature freshly prepared grab-and-go sushi bentos, Japanese specialty snacks, and exclusive imported goods from Japan. However, this location will also feature a brand-new Japanese bakery concept, created in collaboration with its sister-venue Wa-Bagel’s head baker, Yukiko Iikura.
“Since launching Aburi Market Ambleside, we’ve always wanted to create a new bakery
concept, and I’m excited to see what Yukiko creates,” said Seigo Nakamura, founder and CEO of Aburi Restaurants Canada.
This location, measuring approximately 3,200 sq. ft., will mark the group’s third in the city. Aburi Restaurants Canada opened its first Aburi Market location back in 2022 in West Vancouver. Since then, it’s also opened a location in Yaletown. The restaurant group is also known for its other eateries, including Miku, Minami, and Wa-Bagel.
“We first began exploring the Japanese Washoku concept during the pandemic, when we
opened Aburi-To-Go (now renamed Aburi Market) in Minami’s former private room, our
first grocerant, and from there, our vision brought us Aburi Market at Ambleside, and now, Downtown Vancouver,” said Nakamura.
“I’m proud of our team for continuing to innovate and share with Vancouver more options to experience our creations. We look forward to opening later this year.”
