Why there are so many Japanese chains in Vietnam

Japanese companies' expansion into Vietnam was originally centered on manufacturing, but over the past few years the focus has broadened to consumer-facing businesses like retail and dining. A middle class growing on the back of economic growth, and strong trust in Japanese quality and service, are driving this expansion.

Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi have large Japanese communities, and demand for Japanese food and daily goods is steady. For travelers, that translates into the reassurance of "a Japanese shop nearby you can turn to when you're in a bind."

Shopping malls and department stores

The most prominent at city scale are the Japanese malls and department stores. For travelers they make a handy base — you can shop in the cool and hit several Japanese stores at once.

AEON lets you pick up everything from everyday items to snacks and cosmetics in one go, soSouvenirsIt also comes in handy for stocking up on.

Fashion and household goods

Japan's flagships of "just-right quality and price" are moving in one after another, too. Handy for topping up on things mid-trip.

Drugstore

Restaurant chains — noodles, rice bowls, set meals

When you're mid-trip and crave a veggie-packed bowl or a Japanese beef bowl, chains like these are a reassuring option.

Restaurant chains — curry, pizza, cafés

Beyond rice bowls and noodles, the familiar tastes of home are all here.

Family restaurants, izakaya, and yakiniku

Not just rice bowls and noodles — Japanese family restaurants, izakaya, and yakiniku chains have landed too. This is a field where the lineup has grown all at once over the past few years.

Saizeriya's affordable prices, and the "exactly-as-in-Japan dining experience" of Torikizoku and Gyu-Kaku, are popular with both Japanese residents and travelers.

Bonus: the Vietnam-born ”Japanese brand” Pizza 4P’s

A little different from the Japanese chains, but not to be missed, is Pizza 4P’s. Founded in Ho Chi Minh City in 2011 by the Japanese couple Yosuke Masuko and Sanae Takasugi, this pizza chain has grown into one of Vietnam's most popular.

A drink made with house-made cheese and its by-product, whey (Whey's kombuchaand more), it's also known for its sustainable initiatives. Having expanded into Cambodia, India, and Japan, it's a slightly proud presence — a "Japan-born chain that was born in Vietnam."

A smart way to use them as a traveler

日本のチェーンは、旅行者にとって「困ったときの選択肢」です。ただし、日本と同じ商品やサービスが必ずあるとは限りません。店名だけで決めず、次のように使い分けると無駄足を減らせます。

• When you're under the weather：On days you miss the taste of home or want to give your stomach a rest, Sukiya, Marugame Seimen, and CoCo Ichibanya are dependable
• Getting daily necessities and medicine: Matsukiyo, Muji, and Daiso make mid-trip restocking easy
• Buying souvenirs in bulk: at AEON, you can gather snacks, coffee, and cosmetics all at once
• A break to cool off：The eat-in areas at malls and convenience stores double as a refuge from walking the streets in the fierce heat
