The film stars Juzo's wife and regular leading-lady Nobuko Miyamoto as a woman who is hired by a failing supermarket to help it compete against an aggressive local rival. Another frequent star of Juzo's films, Masahiko Tsugawa, plays her boss and later romantic interest.
Supermarket Woman was a box-office success in Japan and was nominated for six Japanese Academy Awards in 1997, including Best Film, Director and Actress, but did not win in any categories.
