In New Zealand, a dairy is a corner shop for everyday essentials such as milk, bread, snacks, drinks, ice cream and often hot food. A Japanese-style convenience store keeps the same quick-stop idea but often adds items such as onigiri, snacks, sweets, drinks and instant meals that are hard to find in a standard dairy. If you are new to these items, ask what is popular and how to prepare them, and check best-before dates, particularly on chilled and imported goods. Prices can be higher than at a supermarket, so it suits a treat or a top-up, not the weekly shop. Regulars drop in for favourite snacks and ask staff to order specific items they love.
Adelaide Rd is a main road through Berhampore in Wellington's south, so this shop suits locals and commuters wanting a quick stop with something different.
