According to one embodiment, a memory system including a key-value store containing key-value data as a pair of a key and a value corresponding to the key, includes an interface, a memory block, an address acquisition circuit and a controller. The interface receives a data write/read request or a request based on the key-value store. The memory block has a data area for storing data and a metadata table containing the key-value data. The address acquisition circuit acquires an address in response to input of the key. The controller executes the data write/read request for the memory block, and outputs the address acquired to the memory block and executes the request based on the key-value store. The controller outputs the value corresponding to the key via the interface.
