🎀 Found a Kimono Hello Kitty in the US | Columbus Edition 🎀

Today I visited Columbus and made a special trip to explore its Japanese supermarkets and nearby spots 🛍️. The area is packed with adorable Japanese sweets, toy stores, and so many delicious treats and cute IP character plushies! These three shops are basically next to each other — perfect for a fun little tour 🏮✨. 🧸 Toy Store: J • AVENUE Japanese Collections As soon as you step in, you’re greeted by shelves full of cuteness — Moomin, Hello Kitty, Miffy, Sanrio, Totoro, and more! I ended up buying a kimono-wearing Kitty and a Totoro handkerchief. Too cute to resist 🥡👘🐱! 🍡 Japanese Bakery: Belle’s Bread Japanese Bakery and Cafe Everything here looks incredibly yummy! I’ve heard their matcha cream puffs are a must-try — I bought one (but haven’t tasted it yet!). Also tried their ice cream — super generous serving 🍦😍. 🛒 Japanese Market: Tensuke Market Though compact, this market is tidy and well-organized. I picked up some dried persimmons 🍅! They have a nice bento section and sushi counter — I tried the sushi and it was fresh and tasty 🍣. Pro tip 🧠: Belle’s Bread pastries and bread are often sold here at a discount, so check out the market first! #Ohio #Columbus #JapaneseMarket #JapaneseSweets #HelloKitty #KimonoKitty #ColumbusFood
