Which (Asian) supermarket has the largest variety of Asian sweets?

honestly for sheer variety of asian sweets in one spot, I'd hit up Dong Xuan Center in Lichtenberg. It's more of a wholesale market vibe but the individual shops there have massive selections of stuff you wont find at Go Asia, especially the Vietnamese and Thai sweets. The packaging on those matcha coconut cookies and the little mochi things is always super cute.

for stationary though, skip Modulor and go to Paper & Tea on Torstrasse. They have this whole wall of washi tape and those fancy Japanese pens, plus they wrap everything in beautiful paper. might be a bit pricier but the presentation is next level for a gift bag

Go Asia at Alexanderplatz is your best bet for sheer volume of Japanese and Korean sweets. They have a whole aisle of crazy Kit Kat flavors, Pocky varieties, and those little chocolate mushrooms you mentioned. For stationary, head to the Modulor on Prinzenstrasse instead, it's not Asian specifically but they have an insane selection of cute paper goods and stickers that would pair nicely with the candy bag.

theres a small japanese place called Mamecha in Mitte thats worth a look for sweets, they have a decent selection of those little individually wrapped mochi and matcha candies that look super cute in a gift bag. not as big as Go Asia but the stuff they stock tends to be more curated and less picked over

for stationary you should check out the Dussmann department store at Friedrichstrasse station, the basement has a huge asian stationary section with those kawaii erasers and sticker packs that would match perfectly with the sweets vibe. bit of a trek from Pberg but worth it for the variety

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
