   **Moving to Tokyo: What grocery delivery and food delivery service (separately) can you recommend? :)**

   Hello everyone!

   I’ll move to Tokyo (Shinjuku) this month to study at a local university for a semester. Due to a chronic illness I’m not the strongest fish in the sea and I would prefer to have my groceries delivered to my apartment, especially in the beginning when I have to buy a lot of staples and basics.

   Right now I’m tending towards Rakuten Seiyu because of their assortment. As far as I know, I would only have to get a Rakuten Card and I would be ready to go with that one. But I obviously don’t have any personal experience with it.

   Has anyone of you ever used a grocery delivery service in the Tokyo area? I’m very open to recommendations. My Japanese level is at around N3, so navigating a Japanese website isn’t an issue.

   Additionally, Uber Eats seems to be a good option to get food delivered from restaurants. Same question here: Are there any other options you can recommend? Or is Uber Eats a good option?

   Thanks in advance 🙂

2. Amazon Fresh and Uber Eats

3. Seiyu net super. Much cheaper than Amazon and Aeon

4. I generally use Uber Eats for food and groceries. I haven’t shopped around other apps, however, since my needs are met with just that.
