5 Of The Most Unique Daiso Items To Look Out For At Daiso Japan
Jump to:

    Ever wondered what some of Daiso's most unique items are?

    The Japanese Taste team recently visited the largest Daiso Japan in Osaka, and we were amazed by the variety, quality, and uniqueness of the items! Daiso is known for its nifty and affordable products, so in this article, we’d like to share five of the unique items we discovered at Daiso Japan. Keep reading to learn about the most interesting finds from the so-called 'Japanese Dollar Store’!

    Color Change Cica Foundation Sunscreen

    Color Change Cica Foundation Sunscreen


    This is the most innovative product on this list! (At least according to the writer.) We mentioned it in our Daiso skincare article, but to recap: it’s a 2-in-1 sunscreen and makeup item with SPF 50 PA++++ protection—the highest in Japan. The foundation itself is green, but when applied to the skin, it transforms to match your skin tone. Plus it’s only 200 yen (less than 2 dollars!). 

    Japanese Hand Fans (Sensu)

    One thing we didn’t expect to find at Daiso Japan were these Sensu, also known as Japanese hand fans. Sensu make great souvenirs and are usually found in more traditional tourist locations like Kyoto. It’s nice to know that you can still find traditional Japanese souvenirs like these Sensu at Daiso.

    Butter Spreader

    Butter Spreader Tool


    To be honest, butter might not be the most commonly used spread or condiment in Japan, but it’s still good to know that you can find a quality butter spreader at Daiso. As bread becomes a more popular breakfast option in Japan, having this kind of tool makes sense. If you’re looking for a butter spreader tool, we also think that you’d really like this one.

    Various Japanese Snacks

    Various Japanese Snacks


    Daiso Japan is a snack lover’s paradise, offering a wide range of snacks such as chips, cookies, dagashi (Japanese penny snacks), candies, and more. They also carry Japanese sodas like Grape Fanta and popular beverages like Calpis. The best part is that all of these snacks and drinks cost only 100 yen each!

    Vitamin C Face Wipes

    Vitamin C Face Wipes


    We also mentioned this product in our Daiso skincare article, but we can’t get over how innovative these face wipes are! They’re incredibly convenient, perfect for on-the-go use and cleansing your face after a workout. Plus, they’re formulated with vitamin C, which helps diminish blemishes and brighten your complexion.

    While Daiso Japan offers a plethora of unique items (we could go on forever!), they also have a range of useful products in other categories. Whether it’s their kitchen gadgets, stationery, or snacks, Daiso Japan truly has something for everyone.

    • Hi Sylvia, yes it’s true, Daiso stores outside of Japan often price things higher than they do in Japan! Shopping at Daiso Japan is always the best bet whenever you’re on a trip here.

      Japanese Taste,

    • Sure, these products are 100 yen, in Japan, but they do not give us the exchange rate here in El Paso. The prices of products are quite high. I’m 1/2 Japanese, so I noticed it right away.

      Sylvia Robbins,
