From specialty stores to everyday life: Japanese design on your commute

The roughly 30 selected items in this launch center on being ready to use and easy to carry, answering those moments when you urgently need something practical. The brand is also maintaining its affordable same-price-as-Japan policy for this partnership, while YAICHI TOMO members can continue to enjoy exclusive offers, which is great news for women.

Refined microwave meals and comforting home essentials

Microwave Steamer

What stands out most about this selection is how accurately it captures the exhaustion of modern urban life, using smart designs to ease everyday burdens. Take the “Microwave Multi-Purpose Cooking Box,” which has sparked a rush to buy on social media: simply add your ingredients and microwave them to recreate the flavors of open-flame cooking. You’ll also have one less pot to wash afterward, for a minimalist, smokeless kitchen.

Another highly talked-about item, the “Microwave Steamer,” has been praised online as a lifesaver for steaming siu mai and vegetables. It quickly steams food using the moisture from the vegetables themselves, making it a real boon for anyone who brings lunch from home.

Two-Way Lightweight Slippers

Then there’s the unconventional “Two-Way Lightweight Slippers.” Their symmetrical front-and-back design means you don’t have to bend down to turn them around when stepping onto the balcony or into the bathroom. Just slip them on from either direction, taking the lazy-girl aesthetic to the limit.

Along with home goods, these convenience stores will also carry plenty of everyday items that no polished girl’s handbag should be without. There’s the “3-in-1 Cleaning Pen,” which combines three brush heads in a single pen to clean hard-to-reach spots in wireless earbud cases and phone charging ports, as well as the compact, dreamily designed “Mini Portable Electric Shaver” for last-minute touch-ups before a date.

Also available is a Hong Kong-exclusive “Mini Digital Toy Camera” with filters full of retro Japanese-style grain; it’s also very cute worn as an accessory.
