Jalan Jalan Japan: Shopping

Whenever I am in a supermarket or departmental store, I often feel like Alice in Wonderland. There are so many things to see yet you are constrained by the hands of the clock as most stores usually close at 8 – 8.30pm.

The oden in Singapore are usually served hot, but to beat the summer heat the oden jelly in Japan is served cold. Do bring back some non alcoholic beer for your friends and family. This beer was created so that consumers can drink and drive and those below the age of 20 can drink it too!

For those who are used to late night shopping in Singapore, where can you shop in Japan? You can visit the shops located inside major train stations – Tokyo, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Shibuya etc. They are usually open till much later. Or you can visit the local convenience stores (Lawson, Seven Eleven, Family Mart etc)
