Family mart
Crane games are big hits with foreign tourists and Japanese kids, so Family Mart is happy to have them come in and play.
Family Mart’s festival of fried foods also includes fried chicken-themed accessories, clothing items, and luggage.
Even if you can take these clothes out of Family Mart, but you can’t take the Family Mart out of these clothes.
Japan-exclusive Starbucks drink will transport you to Kyoto… then Seattle, if you’re lucky.
Beat the heat by ordering some delectable products from Japan’s northernmost island using the Famima Online service.
There’s a fine line between playing and experimenting with food…make that ten different foods, to see which one was most on fire.
