I'm looking at a rental in Higashiyama. I love most things about it but one thing that concerns me is the notable lack of supermarkets walking distance. We're talking around Shoren-in here, about 3 minutes walk south of Higashiyama Station. I've lived here for years now and spent a fair amount of time exploring that area even before, and never found anything better than a Fresco Petit (which hardly puts the "super" in supermarket).
Is there a secret local place that I'm not seeing on Google Maps or do locals just schlep 20 minutes or ride a bike to a decent supermarket?
