Konnichiwa!
If you are an American you know yesterday was the infamous... Black Friday. Getting up extremely early and heading out for good deals is what I was all about. As part of my "holiday" experience, I took a trip to a store called World Market. They have products from around the globe: Italy, Sweden, Germany, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Japanese- you name it. While I enjoyed browsing all of these cultures I mainly, of course, enjoyed the Japan sections. Here are pictures of some goodies I spotted while shopping.
Hello Panda & other treats
mochi & other treats
ramune drinks (I spy a Hello Kitty ramune)
traditional Japanese teapots with steepers inside (i find their extremely flat and round shape rather intriguing)
the picture says it all
teacups with lids
a kokeshi Christmas ornament- bringing something Japanese into an American tradition. And its adorable!
and my personal favorite... SUSHI ERASERS. Definitely want for school
sushi stapler
sushi rolling mat with chopsticks and a rice paddle- perfect dining packer
So if you're looking for a gateway to the rest of the planet, check out World Market. Clearly it has captured other cultures with class! (props for alliteration there hmm?)
Keep it kawaii folks!
