| - I can't say enough good stuff about Tokyo Discount. I can't believe I've never reviewed it before... Anyway, it's right in front of Sushi Mon, my favorite sushi place, and is part of the Japanese one-two punch on Silverado and Maryland.
It's a small shop carrying Japanese items of many different types. I'd break it down into three main types:
1) Anime, Manga, and Novelty items: This is where all the Japanese fan boys go to find soundtracks, DVDs, figurines, Keyblade and Gunblade models, Cosplay parts, and Hello Kitty erasers. Having some of that in me, I enjoy this part a lot.
2) Japanese Home Items: This includes lots of plates, bathroom items, sake bottles, tea cups, hair dye, shampoo, shoe horns, strainers, lamps, home decor, and other such things. I mainly use some of the tea accessories, and have recently bought dishes and bowls.
3) Food!: This is mainly Japanese packed food. This includes things like Pocky, packaged candy, biscuits, cookies, Melon soda, Mochi Ice Cream, packaged teas, pastries, and the like. This is what I get here *every* time I come. It's all so delicious!
Another thing you have to know about Tokyo Discount is that they really are discount. Everything is cheap! Get t-shirts for $5, and sodas for $1, whole china sets for under $20, facial products cheaper than Wal-mart, and you simply can't beat the prices on import CDs and DVDs (most, but not all). Staff is friendly and helpful, as well. Go see May, she's the best!
