I often get emails from you guys asking me about outlet shopping in Japan. To be very honest, i dont go to many outlet malls as its often far/out of the way. I think outlet shopping in US is better XD
Anyway it just so happens, i did pop into one recently so i thought i would write about it

This is in Saitama! Over 1 hr drive from middle of tokyo.
There are several others, like makuhari messe and yokohama etc etc
its right next to costco!

YES yes, we have Costco in Japan, there is one in saitama and one in chiba. ^^
if you are from USA, dont bother going to the coach outlet, its cheaper in usa even at normal prices.

i kinda forgot to take photos but hey look! Muji outlet!

Muji cosmetics on sale….

Sooo cheap, eyeshadow for 200yen [2 usd?]
More makeup from muji

lipgloss for 400yen [USD$4] and eyeshadow palettes for 500yen [USD$5]
No..sorry girls, i didnt buy any
And i always gotta have food porn for Wuzzy! Here’s what we ate at the foodcourt there XD

And more mail love in the post!
This time from Miss Eevie!
She offered to send me some raspberry masks from VOV and since i never tried their papermasks, i took her up on her generous offer! But she ended up sending me wayyy more

Those tictacs are YUMMY! And i love how she put notes on everything!
Thank you so much! i got something to send u too, will do so this week!! <3
Anddd….i got mailbombed by WUZZYANGEL!
The sneaky girl sent me a present for my birthday! [my birthday was a few weeks ago]

XOXO Yumeko









are the MUJI cosmetics good?
OMG! the donuts are so yummy looking.. make me want to have some donuts..
Thanks for the food porn! I always love pictures of shops of any variety
Oooh! I love alove SHINees Ring Ding Dong! And their live performance of it is so good too! I love their styling keke <3
The food looks absolutly delish!
I can’t wait to go to Japan!
It fascinates me. I love your country.
And these photos look interesting. Really cheap cosmetics.
But wow… in Japan everythin is so cute! Even food!
I love Pocky, haha <3 Do you like it?
Take care!
Julia
OMG Nooo Ring ding dong! HAHHAHHA Don’t know If I should hate it or love it XDDD ELLLLLLLLLLASTIC XDDDD
What is that burnt food on the first pic? o.O
Outlet sales! YEY Heaven for me~~~~
Haha, I’ve been singing Ring Ding Dong all day!! It’s like you read my mind. Yay fangirls! I actually got it stuck into other people’s heads.
Wow, the Costco looks humongous!
hahahah its addictive right, like MBLAQ’s OHYEAH hahahah
Lol it seems weird to see a Costco in Japan! I wish I can go shopping there and use a Japanese vending machine!
oh, i’m so curious about Muji now. haha xD
I saw the egg on your food. I love to eat egg that cook in that form. not over cooked! I love the yolk part most. haha xD
love your love packages! I laughed at SPAM, i love Spam!
The donut is cute!
I think I have been to mitsui outlet during my first trip to Japan, it looks so familiar!
Anyway, what is the weather like currently? What will be enough to keep us warm during November?
Thanks!
The COSTCO is super amusing. I’d totally say I want to go when I’m back in japan, but I don’t have a Costco card, and I don’t think I could steal my parents’! I SOO want to go outlet shopping in Japan. Are there a lot of Japanese-brand outlets? So what DID you end up buying?
great food pics you taken, the price of muji stuffs are really cheap at the outlet.
these gals are really sweet to send you packages! i’m listening to the song and its really catchy…
Hi Yumeko!
I really enjoyed it, plus the food court was so fun! Did you see the collagen ramen? That’s what I ate LOL it’s supposed to make your skin bihada.. hahaha Idk if I believe it 100% but maybe it will do a little good.
Omg I went to this outlet when I went to Japan during the summer! The bad thing was that it was bad weather and raining a bit during the day while I was there. I shopped at the Nike outlet (and bought some cool shoes despite a little overpriced), stopped by Milkfed, Jeanasis, and several other cool stores
Hehe did you go to the Ami Outlet yet? That’s the newest one in Saitama (or somewhere close to there) right? And i think the oldest outlet was the Gotemba one near Hakone.
muji outlet!! i wish they would bring muji to canada =) i love their basic packaging and pens! thank you for sharing
all that food! and muji’s cute eyeshadows singles looks like FUN!
Yummy food porn~! It all looks great~!
Wow thanks for showing this post, I’ll keep that in mind
is make-up from MUJI good or just average? They have nice, simple packaging (such a MUJI thing lol!)
I loveeee your food pictures, those donuts look especially good!
I love MUJI stuff hahahahaah…especially their stationary. I couldn’t get enough when I was in HK hahaahahah… Oh did you know that Melbourne opened up a Costco too~~~~in the new area out in Docklands…ppl told me it’s huge but you need to pay $60members before you go in and have look…that’s crap~~~DFO will have to do the job for the meantime in terms of outlet shopping hehehehehe
what powder did you use from them (Skin Food)?
btw, thanks for your sweet comment =)
wow that is one weird ass song!
‘fantastic elastic’?
I can’t listen to that in public in the UK, everyone will think it’s about condoms
XDDDDD
wait, is it O o
love their outfits by the way
I love your foodie pictures! The outlet looks pretty fun, I never knew there was a COstco in Japan either.
LOL COSTCO in Japan! I’d never guess! But I tell you you’re malls are soo pretty! LOL!
MMmmm.. FOODPORN!! Doughnuts!!!!
Whoa… sheet masks up the yin yang!
How generous of her! LOL! And yeah I recycle boxes! LOL! Glad you liked everything! Haha… the BF was all “You’re sending her SPAM?!”
Ooh the cheap Muji makeup looks so tempting! And the donuts look so, so good!
I agree that Ring Ding Dong is very addictive. I’ve had it on repeat since I first heard it days ago and it’s starting to annoy the people around me. My mom is convinced that it’s an Indian song. Hahaha!
ahahha indian song!! thats one way of describing it i guess!
