Mundo Latino
+ Gotanda, Tokyo

¡tu tienda latina!

One of the perks of having awesome Brazillian friends is finding out there’s a great Spanish market right in the center of Tokyo. Right in front of JR Gotanda station somewhat hidden behind some big real estate signs is Mundo Latino, a Latin food, music and movie import store. Since arriving in Tokyo, I’d heard rumors of this fabled shop but until recently, had never actually found it. If you’re in need of some Buñuelos, Flan, or frozen Empanada de Carne, this is the place. Mundo Latino makes a nice weekend excursion if you want a little Latin flavor in your Tokyo life.

Once inside, you’ll find one main isle with cooking mixes, sauces, canned beans, dry beans, and plenty of hot sauces. Beside the main isle is a freezer filled with various chorizo, tamal, and empanada. On the other side are various cookies, bon bons, and cakes. I’m no specialist when it comes to Latin cuisine, but that doesn’t make me any less of a fan. It’s impossible to resist so many delicious looking ingredients and instant foods. If you have an oven(which is rare in Tokyo), make sure you try a box of Buñuelos(630 yen), addicting little baked cheese breads. Also try one of their imported hot sauces if your o-bento’s lacking kick!

If you’re a Salsa music fan, there’s another isle in the back of the store with a wide range of different artists. For a complete list of their music offerings, have a look at their online shop, www.musilatina.com. If you can read Spanish or Japanese, you don’t have to travel to Gotanda to buy products from Mundo Latino, just visit their online shop at www.musilatina.com/nambei. If you can’t read Spanish or Japanese, have a look at their online shop anyway for a glimpse at what you’ll find in their Gotanda shop. Don’t forget your Tropical Maria icecream(manga, guanabana, mora and lulo flavors!) on your way out!
