Nestled in the heart of Bonifacio Global City is MITSUKOSHI, the country’s first Japanese mall.

Isetan Mitsukoshi boasts a centuries-long legacy of innovation since its founding in 1673 in Edo (present Tokyo). On November 18, 2022, it marked a new milestone by opening its first store in Southeast Asia, right here in the Philippines.

The four-storey establishment brings Japan closer to Filipinos. Beloved Japanese brands in food, home decor, and skincare are now available locally, allowing Pinoy shoppers to enjoy them.

Mitsukoshi Fresh
Mitsukoshi Fresh is the supermarket segment of the mall, offering a wide array of high-quality Japanese goods, including pastries, seasonings, snacks, and noodles. It is an ideal place for those seeking authentic ingredients for sushi, ramen, curry, and other dishes. 

Mitsukoshi Beauty
For beauty and skincare lovers, Mitsukoshi Beauty is the place to be. This section features a lineup of beloved Japanese skincare, body care, and cosmetic brands that are sometimes hard to find in the Philippines, such as Tsubaki, Fino, Canmake, and Anessa.
