Nice to Meet You! Let Me Introduce Myself
Hi, I’m KAZ — a Japanese local who loves Japanese snacks, unique drinks, and finding hidden gems in everyday life.
I’ve always been fascinated by how small things — like a seasonal soda or a new flavor of chocolate — can tell a big story about a country’s culture. That’s why I started this blog: to share the everyday side of Japan with travelers from around the world.
While most tourists head to famous temples, busy shopping streets, or Instagram-famous cafes, there’s a whole other side of Japan waiting to be discovered — one that locals enjoy every day.
What This Blog Is About
Japan is facing overtourism — popular destinations are often overcrowded, and it’s becoming harder to enjoy them peacefully.
But there’s good news: you don’t need to follow the crowds to experience something truly Japanese.
In this blog, I’ll introduce you to Japanese drinks, snacks, and even alcohol that you can find in convenience stores, supermarkets, and drugstores all across Japan. These are the products locals actually buy and love.
Whether you’re planning a trip or just curious about Japanese food culture, I hope this blog becomes your guide to tasting Japan like a local.
Let’s go beyond souvenirs. Let’s explore the flavor of everyday Japan.
