Daiso

Authentic Japanese store. It's as if you are in Japan. This includes pricing. I've never saw this before. Charts are all over the store to help you figure out what something costs. I included a sample below.

The large clock is 300y so on the chart that would be $4.25. The smaller clock has no price so it costs $1.75. It was very easy to get into the swing of things.

We bought some unusual items to put in our grandchildren'surprise drawer.

Must try: soft bread and cold beverages near cashier counter!
I just don't like the way they mix products made in USA with made in Japan! Nobody goes to this store to buy goods from USA.
Cashier is friendly, store is clean.

Good location with plenty of parking. Great customer service. I was surprised to see a self-checkout counter for cards only. They don't charge extra if you card purchase is less than $5, which is very nice. The store is fully stocked and has lots of mini departments (kitchen, stationary, cleaning, etc).

Finally a nearby Daiso!!!!
We went to the second opening day on Sunday, May 28, 2023. We arrived at 9:20am for the 10am opening and there were already 50 people in line. The line grew very quickly after 9:30- 9:45am. Store was clean and well organized and staff was polite and friendly. We got a nice goodie bag of swag for being there during the opening weekend. (Goodie bags are limited to the first 100 customers that spend $30 before tax.
While in line waiting we were given Milkita candy. I can't wait to go back and do more shopping when it's less crowded.

They give out lollipops to the people waiting in line for the grand opening. I already love their Japanese omotenashi lol

Update: they give out goodie bags for the first 100 customers with a $30+ purchase on opening Saturday and Sunday. With a rough estimate the content of the bag is about $20. Pretty generous and good selection!

I used to drive up to federal way to their store up there. It's great to have one down here now!

As the name suggests this is a store that carries extremely Japanese items. Just so much cool stuff. A tiny bit of food and alot of neat things. The . packages are priced in the Japanese yen. But there are cards all over to make the conversion to our dollar.

This isn't another one of those stores like you see on s Tacoma eat carrying asian items. This place has interesting fun items for everyone. Things you didn't know you needed! Stuffed toys to kitchen pans. From anime type of things. To flip flops and masks. And everything in between! Highly recommend you drop by and check it out!!!!

Pretty typical daiso with home goods and japanese themed trinkets toys. Much better quality dishware and neat little camping stuff

So much variety and the shop is set up to easily wander up and down every aisle. Make sure you set aside enough time to browse- every shelf is packed! My favs are the A5 journals with the smoothest paper you’ve ever written on and the nifty organizing supplies. Tip: don’t forget to bring your reusable shopping bags!

Wonderful surprise today to see desio in Lakewood better than a regular Dollar store. Things are just made better. I certainly recommend this store!😊

Super excited when I heard they had set up shop. It's a cozy little shop full of more things than I need lol. Have gone back multiple times now, and will continue to go back. I will mention you need to bring a bag for your items , I didn't realize this until check out. But otherwise it's a cute handy store love it.

Celia was so sweet and helpful!! i’ve been here a couple times and i’ve never felt more welcomed, love!!

prices are rlly cheap store is organized and clean and the mini stick snack thing is good

Wonderful place. Store was clean, very friendly. The counterpart to the stores in Japan.
Excellent prices, quality merchandise. Even had food from my childhood.
Go, you won't be disappointed.

My favorite shop. Like a Japanese Dollar Tree, in a lot of ways.

It is so unsettling to be so closely watched while shopping. I have never considered lifting anything in my 64 years

It's like the movie needful things lol...even if you do not need it you will buy it and everything is just too cute. My daughters always want to go there.

Appealing prices for unique and high quality items

Nice place, reasonable prices. Lots of cool items for the home.

Fun place to shop. Get items here you can't get elsewhere, especially for the price.

So much good stuff!
