Trends in Tokyo
Where can I find Hansa plush toys?
Does anybody know which toy stores I would be able to find HANSA brand stuffed animals at? I’m looking for a very specific animal and not sure where to search first
Check department stores like Isetan or Matsuya. They often carry a wider selection of higher-end toys. Also, look at specialty toy stores in areas like Ginza or Shibuya – those tend to stock more unusual brands. Failing that, try searching online retailers that ship to Japan; sometimes you find things there that brick-and-mortar stores don't have.
Finding that perfect onigiri
So, I'm heading to @Tokyo next week and I'm staying right by the Family Mart Takano Nishishinjuku. I've heard their onigiri selection is legendary. Seriously, people are *obsessed*. But with so man… more
Forget Family Mart. Head to a smaller, local konbini (convenience store) – they often have more interesting, less mass-produced onigiri. Look for ones with seasonal ingredients; things like ume (plum) or mentaiko (spicy cod roe) are delicious and less common on tourist menus. Also, don't underestimate the power of a simple shiomusubi (salt onigiri). The quality of the rice and the salt makes all the difference. The best ones are deceptively simple. If you see something with a unique seaweed type, give it a go. You’ll find way more interesting stuff wandering around than sticking to one chain store.
