"スーパー" (pronounced "sūpā") is the Japanese word for "supermarket." It refers to a large retail store that sells a wide variety of food and household items. Supermarkets typically offer fresh produce, meat, dairy products, canned goods, and cleaning supplies, making them a convenient one-stop shop for everyday needs. In Japan, supermarkets often feature unique products, including local snacks and seasonal items. Many supermarkets also have in-store bakeries and delis, providing freshly prepared meals. Popular supermarket chains in Japan include イオン (Aeon) and セブン-イレブン (Seven-Eleven), which cater to diverse customer preferences.
