Howdy ho, neighbors! Welcome to Yoyo Market—the one-stop shop for all of your Costco and IKEA needs.

Socrates believed that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living. Call us shallow, but we believe that the life without organic vanilla soymilk, 5 pound bags of frozen strawberries, and giant blocks of cheddar cheese isn’t worth living. Granted, introspection can be a grand thing, but what would the expat experience be without all of the comforts of Costco and IKEA, right? This isn’t to say that we don’t love somen, shabu-shabu, and ichigo-daifuku just as much as everyone else; just that we love the comforts of home, as well. Why wouldn’t we choose to fill our pantries with the brilliance of the best that Japan has to offer AND the best the West has to offer?

As such, you’ll find a ton of great deals on all your favorites from Costco and IKEA, as well as great deals on some of our favorite things from stores that aren’t named Costco and IKEA. Sometimes we buy things in Japan and sometimes we buy them abroad and import them, but regardless of where they come from, they all share one thing in common; we love them and we think that you will too. And who are we you ask? Well, please allow us to introduce you to the many multi-talented, multifaceted members of of Yoyo Market:

Jason Maitland -- President, CEO

Moto Uchikoshi -- Head of Japanese Operations

Oh, and for those of you who are curious, Yoyo Market is in no way affiliated with Costco or IKEA. We are just a couple of guys who want to help bring a bit of Costco and IKEA sunshine into everyone's homes. Independent retailers who like to buy things from Costco and share them with the world. If you have the chance, we recommend you visit both stores...and, of course, we highly recommend that you continue to shop with us!
