Asian market

Oriental trading venue

Asian market refers to a grocery store specializing in foods, ingredients, and products from East, Southeast, or South Asian countries.

These stores stock items like rice varieties, noodles, sauces, fresh produce, and specialty goods not typically found in mainstream supermarkets: I found the lemongrass at the Asian market.

The term also describes financial markets in Asian countries, particularly in business and investment contexts: Asian markets opened higher overnight.
