First Shopping2014/01/03

 

I began this year's shopping at Nishitetsu Store. Let me show off my new-year shopping.

 

New year, new pillows

Pillows (made in Kagoshima, Japan) JPY 1,980 each

By the way, pillows are extremely diversified in Japan. I am always amazed at the endless variety of the materials, techniques used for pillows (and their prices!!) when I look into the world of pillows. If you are looking for something special in Japan, I strongly recommend taking a look at pillow catalogue such as this website.  http://www.dinos.co.jp/c3/002008004/1a2/

 


Fukuoka made

kitchen towels (made in Fukuoka) JPY 525/ two towels

Not specifically made for kitchen, though. I prefer these thin, easy-to-dry towels to specialised tea towels or kitchen cloth.

 

New year, new underwear

My husband's cold-weather underwear (made in Japan) JPY700 (reduced from JPY 1,400)
   “The Gunze” is one of the most upmarket labels that Gunze, a well-established Japanese underwear manufacturer, produces and is rarely reduced. Therefore, for me,  “the Gunze“ label is TOYOTA Lexus of undergarments (I am humble enough not to say Mercedes). I felt I was very lucky when I found this in an abandoned-looking basket in the corner of the underwear section.

 

I think my first shopping was successful in terms of getting relatively nice things at relatively reasonable prices. I hope my desire for shopping and my budget will get along well.
