There are two Carrot supermarkets in Hokkaido, and they are both in Sapporo. Carrot is simply a very small version of Costco. A lot of the items are bulk buy and you will see many restaurant and bar managers using Carrot fir their needs. Unlike Costco, you don’t need a membership card to use them. A lot of their food items are frozen, which again, can be bought in bulk. They also have many overseas foods and condiments that you won’t find in most supermarkets so Carrot is also quite popular with the expat community. Anything from pastas, olives, sausages, and cheeses to name just a few. They have a large range of spices to perk up any dish plus if you enjoy baking, there is a myriad of different flours for your baking needs. Carrot not only provides a large supply of ingredients, they have kitchen items, cooking items, and packaging on a large scale. Carrot is a very handy resource especially for cooks!
