Vancouver Sun Dept: The Osaka Supermarket will bring 60 kinds of miso and 80 kinds of Japanese noodles to West Vancouver, whose famously Anglo-centric persona was skewered by the late cartoonist Len Norris, who parodied the tweedy neighbourhoods of Ambleside and Dundarave with his imaginary Amblesnide and Tiddlycove, according to Vancouver Sun. Osaka Supermarket, which is located on the second floor of Park Royal's south side, will have 30 per cent more Japanese products than most T&T supermarkets and a high-end Asian supermarket opened Wednesday in West Vancouver, in what was once the region's white-bread heart. T&T Supermarket Inc., Canada's No. 1 Asian grocery chain, has brought the Osaka Supermarket to Park Royal Shopping Centre, just down the road from the British Properties, where covenant clauses not too long ago excluded Asians, and where the local property owners' newsletter was called the Tallyho. Osaka Supermarket will provide the ethnic Chinese food that has made its parent T&T Supermarket chain so successful, but it's character will be Japanese-themed, as befits its name. As
reported in the news.
