Korean Supermarket in Dubai

1004 Gourmet is an unusual name for a Korean supermarket but then I learnt from the owner/manager Chan that number 1004 translates to Chunsa in Korean but also means Angels which is what they originally wanted to call the shop, so 1004 stayed. The Al Barsha branch was located at number 1004 on the street!

Back in 2011 when I wrote this post..

Prices are sensible, the range of products is impressive and the shop is airy and pleasant to walk around. But above all of this the manager/owner Mr Chan speaks perfect English (albeit with an American accent) He is a great source of information regarding all the products, so I ended up buying a Korean version of light soya sauce (large bottle for Dhs 9.00), some fresh baby bok choi for Dhs 7.00 and frozen white fish fillets (Pollock) for Dhs 30.00.

I also tried a new kind of wheat noodle and a version of what looks like the Thai vegetable Morning Glory, a sort of fresh green water spinach to sautee with oyster sauce and garlic, but it was the Korean version not the Thai version, again I was assured by Mr Chan it would work just as well. It certainly looked incredibly fresh, and I overhead Chan informing an oriental customer that he received deliveries of vegetables every week from Japan and Korea.

I also bought some Japanese marinading sauce for chicken which I’m guessing is similar to Teriyaki sauce but again, nothing was labeled in English, but Chan helped me out. Dubai.

Real Japanese Ingredients from the Japanese Supermarket in Dubai

DoinDubai visited this Japanese supermarket in Dubai and stocked up on all manner of Japanese ingredients and sushi making gear to try and recreate an Oriental feast at home.

DoinDubai would recommend buying Buckwheat noodles too especially if you’re avoiding gluten, easy to cook and then simply add to one of the many varieties of high quality miso broths with a mug of boiling water for a delicious, low calorie but sustaining snack.

Or how about buying multipack bags of delicious savoury Japanese rice crackers, great for late morning munchies and a super alternative to a bag of crisps for the kids lunchboxes. Again they are gluten free and generally baked and not fried. Try them at evening drinks parties as well.

DoinDubai also bought sushi mats, sushi seasoning, Japanese ginger and large, comforting tubs of miso paste that even the teenagers could use as a base for soups with vegetables, chicken or prawns, lasts for a month or so in the fridge.

Non Food Items at the Japanese supermarket in Dubai

The Japanese emporium also sells gorgeous Oriental crockery: pretty, delicately painted bowls, plates and teacups, all of which are very versatile for any kind of snacks or hot drinks. A little more expensive than Daiso but I thought the designs were much better and the quality finer.

The Japanese supermarket has an unusual name: Deans Fujiya and there is also a Japanese Café with the same name a couple of doors down that used to exist across the road but has recently relocated next to the supermarket!
