ROBOTROBOT - Nakano Broadway, Tokyo


Oh hell yeah.

One of the best retro toy collections this side of Tokyo, with a bunch of classic gaming stuff. From Parappa the Rapper to Sonic to MGS, with quite a few ultra rare pieces. 

Split over a few stores (similar to Mandrake) you'll need to do a bit of legwork to find this one, but absolutely worth taking some time out to hunt down.

Taiko no Tatsujin - Sangaria


Ichi, ni, Sangaria!

The past few months have been pretty good to Taiko fans, with candy crossovers, McDonalds toys and now the extremely limited run of Sangaria soft drinks.

Promoting healthy (or healthier) soft drinks, the Osaka based beverage company is relatively small compared to monster companies such as Kirin and Suntory. However this latest run is helping to reaffirm itself as the fun party brand. 

Their slogan "Ichi, ni, Sangria!" Is a play on the Japanese words "one, two, three" (ichi, ni, san).

Oishi-Don!

"Meteor" - Kichijoji, Tokyo



Easy to miss this one, just a tiny sign outside and the joint itself being no bigger than an average Tokyo apartment - well worth taking a trip out for tho.


Described as a retro type museum, the shop is a mixture of classic merch (not really for sale) and bespoke retro clothing and accessories. There's a bunch of funky stuff (microchips and processors molded into resin iphone cases n stuff), most of which you're unlikely to find anywhere else. Tshirts, posters, CDs and an original "Virtual Boy" up and running to play on.

Great setup, check the site for more deets -
