The Super Hmart closest to me is open absurd hours (like from 6 am to 11pm. Do they think they are a SFWH or something?
)I enjoy taking out of town visitors to H-mart simply for the shopping experience, especially if they are at all familiar with an east asian grocery.
Anyway, the H-marts and Lottes carry ingredients for pretty much any ethinc food you can think of! Most of the customers are east asian, but there a quite a few gaijins like me. People who have some experience with east asain culture/food and enjoy shopping there.
I will point out, if you buy your produce from a grocery store, buy it here. The produce is fresher, tastier and cheaper than the traditional american supermarkets.
Just my $.02.
