A new Japanese grocery store opened its doors on the Upper West Side this week.
Hashi Market opened Wednesday at 2780 Broadway, between West 107th and 108th streets, in the former home of the Garden of Eden supermarket, which closed in March of 2024 after the owner decided not to renew the lease.
Hashi Market describes itself as a “unique blend of fresh food supermarket, mini department store, and catering service,” according to its website. The store’s general offerings include grocery and pantry, sushi and sashimi, seafood, party platters, meat, beauty and lifestyle, kitchen essentials, and produce.
The grocer also has locations in Midtown, Tribeca, Union Square, and Brooklyn.
Hashi Market’s opening is a welcome sign for the Broadway block between West 107th and 108th streets, as the New Absolute Bagel is also expected to open by the end of the month in the adjacent storefront.

In a new world of CBD and similar stores, a store called “Hash”-i is likely to do well. 😉
while I love these places they are very expensive and not mainstream at all
“Not mainstream” is quite the comment. So you want all Frito Lay and Kraft products on shelves?
