Taisho Pabron is a well-known medicine cabinet staple for colds in Japan. Its individually wrapped packets make it easy to carry, so people often ask travelers to buy it for them when visiting Japan.
Personally, I'm used to seeing a doctor first when I catch a cold in Taiwan. But when traveling to a farther-away country for a longer period, unexpected situations are more likely, so having a few packets on hand is reassuring and can help with sudden minor cold symptoms.
Yodobashi Camera Multimedia Akiba Store
It is a complex facility located in Akihabara, known as Tokyo's Denki-Gai (its commercial district with many electronics retail stores.) It's the core store of the Yodobashi-Akiba complex.
Visiting an electronics store is also a must when traveling to Japan. This time, I specifically came to Yodobashi to look for the highly talked-about Panasonic beauty device. After buying it and using it at home, I found it quite effective at tightening facial contours and reducing nasolabial folds. The specially designed head fits the curves of the face very well. Best of all, it can greatly speed up the absorption of daily skincare products, delivering serum deep into the skin and making your skincare routine much more effective!

Its signature Salt & Camembert Cookies are a top choice for souvenirs. The airport duty-free shop is well stocked, making it convenient to buy them before departure and avoid waiting in line downtown or carrying heavy bags.
Itoen Powdered Green Tea with Matcha
Powdered green tea made by famous Japanese tea company ITO EN gives you the taste of authentic Japanese tea. Its special characteristic is that it quickly dissolves not only in hot water but even in cold water.
ITO EN Green Tea is a long-established Japanese tea brand that has been developing tea leaves and tea beverages since the 1960s, earning a solid reputation over the years. I really like its refreshing, smooth taste and always keep some at home. Brewing a cup when having snacks or sweets helps cut through the richness and is very soothing. I once received an ITO EN tea canister gift set. The tea leaves inside were individually packaged in small packets, making them easy to store and brew. What was special was that the tea canisters also featured winning works from a haiku competition, adding a touch of culture and beauty to everyday life. The Japanese idea of combining tea and haiku is really interesting and makes drinking tea feel like a relaxing and elegant experience.
