The top three supermarkets that emerged from this competition are Ropia, Seisan Ichiba TOP, and Yaoko.

Overview of Best of Supermarket 2025

The Best of Supermarket initiative aims to highlight the best in the supermarket sector by engaging consumers in the voting process. Participants rated supermarkets based on eight criteria: selection, cost performance, hospitality, flyers, meat, fish, vegetables, and ready-made meals. This year’s voting process was meticulously designed, integrating consumer feedback into a comprehensive evaluation system where scores contributed to the overall rankings.

Ropia claimed the prestigious top spot in this year’s awards, rising from last year’s second position. The supermarket's consistent efforts to enhance customer engagement through initiatives like the official app payment system and active updates via Instagram proved successful. Ropia is celebrated for its excellent meat selection, freshness, and great value. Customer comments reflect their excitement: “Ropia has unique items you can’t find elsewhere, making grocery shopping feel like a theme park for families.”

In second place, Seisan Ichiba TOP improved significantly in the rankings, with impressive customer praise for their cost performance and fresh produce. Comments included, “Their featured items are always affordably priced, making it a great choice for budget-conscious shoppers.”

Yaoko, known for its popular private label products and delicious ready-made meals, secured the third position. Patrons expressed their delight, stating, “The variety of ready-made meals is incredible, and their freshly made thick omelets are unforgettable.”
