A Kashiwa resident friend I bumped into in the front street took me out to see World Spice, Kashiwa’s halal foods store. The shelves are stocked with dried beans of all descriptions, canned curry fixings that are otherwise hard to come by, and the prices are reasonable. To get there, walk five minutes south along the Joban tracks to 泉町 Izumi-cho.
Yep! It’s great value. You can get a big tub of some spice, like turmeric or coriander for the the same price as a tiny one at Keihoku.
I buy the pulses and they’res cheap as chips! Just buy vegies!
By the way, if you are looking for inexpensive entertainment, excuse the plug, but Salsa parties are held on the 3rd floor of Yumebutai Dance Studio every Saturday. It’s just a little closer to the station. Check out salsakashiwa.com
I know that place! Kind of hard to find, but great for Indian cuisine.
