hyaku en shop



The hyaku en shops or 100 Yen shops are an institution in Japan. Everything is sold for 100yens (+5% tax) except for product with price tags on them.
There are thousands of 100 yen shops across Japan and the one I went to takes up the entire top floor of Daiso, a shopping mall.
You can find anything from household goods to garden ware through stationary and tableware...Anything you want, you find. Personally I went there to get cutlery (saucepans, chopsticks, measuring cup), ashtray (a dice...it was the least ugly design, see below), towels and more stuff.
Of course, you're not in it for beautiful design and high-quality stuff but at the same time what would you expect for 105 yens?
