What I Got Loft and Tokyu Hands in Japan - Japan Haul

Loft (ロフト) and Tokyu Hands (東急ハンズ) are Japanese department stores which carry a wide selection of stationary, home goods, beauty items and so on.

When I lived in Osaka, I sometimes went to Umeda Loft (梅田ロフト) and Tokyu Hands Shinsaibashi branch (東急ハンズ心斎橋店), and I remember that I purchased some unique kitchen items, window treatments and more there. I also purchased beautiful wedding stationary such as our wedding invitation cards and wedding program cards. :) My husband and I also attended their weekend Do-It-Yourself workshop at Tokyu Hands and made lavender aroma eye pillows which I really loved. Anyway, Loft and Tokyu Hands were my favorite stores when I lived in Japan because they have a massive selection of high quality items! If you are planning on visiting Japan, you should check these stores. I think you can find useful and high quality Japanese products there. If you are a girl, I also recommend you to go these stores because they have numerous beauty items, and many of them cannot be found at drugstores in Japan.

Anyway, I purchased some items at Loft and Tokyu Hands during traveling in Tokyo this winter. Today, I'm going to share what I purchased there with you.

1. Dishwasher Safe Chopsticks 食器洗浄機対応素材まるごと木のお箸
5 pairs of chopsticks for 1200 yen at Loft

Dishwasher Safe Chopsticks

I wanted to purchase some chopsticks made in Japan during our travel. These are made of natural bamboos and have wafu komon pattern (小紋), traditional Japanese small prints. Actually, I also purchased some Japanese chopsticks at other stores, but these ones I purchased at Loft were the highest quality. :) These chopsticks were made by Kawai Kabushikigaisha (カワイ株式会社), which is a Japanese company has been making chopsticks since in 1943.

Kokuyo Scissors Saxa Glueless Blade Hasa-P280Y

At Tokyu Hands, there were many Japanese scissors we could choose from. I finally chose these scissors, Kokuyo SAXA Glueless Blade Scissors, because it read that the blades won't be sticky even after cutting tapes. By the way, Kokuyo is the largest Japanese stationary company and they have been making stationary products in Japan since 1905.

The scissors were very affordable and look nothing special, but when I first used them, I was impressed at how easy it was to cut papers with these scissors. :)
