Yamadaya

Take a little trip to Tokyo in this expansive shop. Japanese chain stores have been popping up all over the city the past couple of years, but this independently-owned neighborhood shop imbues a more authentic vibe, all while selling the same stuff — and more! Find Japanese pantry staples, skincare, home goods, cleaning products, as well as a great little stationery and office supply section. A few favorites include: soft Matomaru-Kun erasers, Morning Star incense for less than $5, and a gorgeous selection of fancy rice.
