Hi there! I'm Poppy, a local, born and raised in Japan.
When I was in college, I spent a year studying in the US as an exchange student. Now, friends from that time sometimes come to Japan, and we always try to meet up. Whenever I see them, I love picking out little gifts, but finding the perfect one is always a challenge. I don't want to bother them with anything too heavy, fragile, boring, or useless—I just want to make them happy.
This is the reason I started this blog. I want to share my ideas about the best things to buy in Japan—both for yourself and for your family and friends. I hope you find something tasty, useful, beautiful, or exciting.
By the way, Japanese is my native language, so please don't expect perfect English here!
