Hello Tokyo — Local services in Maine Township

I blame my brother for telling my kids about this store. They were excited to see what they might find so we went in. If you've never been to a store like this, it's worth it. We walked through the entire store trying to look at everything and I'm sure we missed a lot. My brother described this as kind of a Japanese dollar store. They did have quite a few items that were inexpensive including some candy and food products. They also had some fairly expensive anime type products as well as a lot of Hello Kitty merchandise.

In the end all I personally bought was a teaspoon, which I really liked, and some candy products I had not seen before. Both the kids with me picked out some items that they also purchased and like me they ran across a lot of stuff they like to have. I'm sure we will get back at some later date and hopefully find some more interesting products that I'm just not used to here in this country.

Not to mention they often rotate some of the items so that you can see something new every other week. I don't always come here and when I do it's usually twice a month. But it's always worth it!

I often wish there was a Daiso in Chicago and this makes up for it, it's all the same things you would find there and more! I love going here and will continue to do so :D

(p.s, are y'all going to supply the store with some of the limited Persona 3 Reload 100 ¥ charms and stuff? I heard that they were coming to Daiso. I would probably buy the whole...
