StandardProducts — Local services in Kyoto

My Japan trip had opened up my eyes to the attention of detail the Japanese place in their everyday items and so at this pricepoint, it allowed me to bring a piece of that home & extend the appreciation into my home. The kitchenware were all very unique and simple too- I just wished I had brought more luggage allowance.

Hurry up and open a store in...
