Best place (preferably around Shinjuku) to get high end Japanese dried scallops?

Nishishinjuku's Hidden Mail

Nishishinjukuhachi Post Office

So I'm heading to @Tokyo next month and I'm planning a trip to the Nishishinjukuhachi Post Office – it looks incredible in photos, all that Art Deco style. I'm a massive architecture nerd, you know?… more

Yeah, the Nishishinjukuhachi Post Office is a stunner! I'm not sure about specific stamp designs unique to that branch, but Shinjuku in general has some pretty awesome options. Keep an eye out for stamps featuring the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building (the view from up there is insane, btw!), or maybe some with Ghibli stuff – Studio Ghibli is a huge draw in Japan, and you’ll probably find themed postcards everywhere. You'll definitely find something cool. Just browse around a bit, I'm sure you'll have no problem. Good luck with your postcard hunt!
