The shop, which carried skincare and cosmetics alongside other Japanese goods, opened in early 2023.
Its last day was Sept. 26.
"After several wonderful years in the East Village, it's time for us to say goodbye," the company wrote on Instagram in announcing the closure, thanking customers who stopped in over the years.
The storefront just west of Second Avenue has had a recent history with a Japanese beauty retailer. Shibuyala opened its first New York City outpost here in March 2019 before Reiwatakiya took over the space.
Reiwatakiya continues to operate elsewhere in the U.S., with five locations listed on its website.
