The new supermarket will be replacing Melody Couture, across from Primark on the Moor, which closed down earlier this year after running for more than three decades.
Hello Japan will add a new flavour to the high street as the supermarket will sell produce that is fresh and organic as well as a large selection of Asian snacks and sweets.
Melody Couture was an independent store that had a niche following of regulars and students who moved to Sheffield for university.
With it now being closed and replaced by Hello Japan, a few locals spoke to ShefNews about their thoughts on the new supermarket.
Shony, Owner of a small business called Shony’s Mushrooms said: “A Japanese supermarket would really suit the spirit of Sheffield in my opinion.
“The whole culture is beautiful, elegant and self-empowering.”
There are a lot of oriental supermarkets around Sheffield, but Hello Japan is going to be the first one that will be located in the Moor.
When Shony heard of the news about Hello Japan opening, she “nearly jumped out of her seat”.
Gail Kearsley, 54, of Wincobank area said: “It is nice to see new shops opening up in The Moor, as well as a wider variety of shoppers.”
A licensing application has been submitted by the new shop by the company Hang Sing Hong Ltd to Sheffield City Council in regards to seeking permission to sell alcohol from 11am to 9pm (Monday to Sunday).
Hang Sing Hong Ltd are still yet to confirm the opening date of Hello Japan.
