Toko is the generic Indonesian word for store or shop. In the Netherlands it is known as a specialty grocery store selling mainly Asian food products of which the owners are generally Indo-European, native Indonesian, Surinamese, Chinese or Vietnamese.
Sourcing Indonesian grocery’s at Dutch and Asian specialty stores in the USA is still quite challenging but they are around. If not in your neighborhood you can opt for mailorder or online shops.
