There are a lot of 100 yen shops in Japan. One of them is Daiso which is the biggest discount chain store in Japan. You can get a variety of stuff there with 100 yen (about 1$). Juice and confectionery, kitchen equipment, charging cables and stationery. You name it, they have it! Especially, popular goods for tourists. I will introduce some of the most popular items you can find in DAISO.
Popular Items in DAISO
①Kinchaku-bukuro (巾着袋)
It is a drawstring pouch in goldfish shape. Such a cute and simple design. This is the most popular item for travelers.
②Sensu (扇子)
This is a Japanese hand fan which can be folded away. This is not just a souvenir, it is also very practical.
③Chopsticks (はし)
Chopsticks are classic Japanese souvenir. You can get a variety of chopsticks at Daiso.
④Handy Sealer (ハンディーシーラー)
This can seal a bag of potato chips once opened. You don’t have to eat them up all at once.
⑤Peeler with case (皮むき器)
This is not just a peeler. It catches the peel in the case so it is very easy to dispose of. How convenient!!
Cool article! I wish I had known about the Handy Sealer when I was in Japan, I would have bought one!
Thank you for leaving your comment. Yes, it’s worth it. What you do not have it means that you should come to japan again!
