Ok, so today I'm going to take you to my ultimate, all time favorite Seria.

お気に入りのセリアに来ました

It's here in Yamanakako. I've been to lots of Seria's, let me tell you,

山中湖の店舗に来ましたが 今までで最高のお店です

And this is the best one yet.

日本の100円ショップは 米国より充実しています

[Life in Japan Theme Song]

以前も紹介しましたが 今回はセリアです

In America, there's dollar stores, but in Japan there's “hyaku en” stores, our one-hundred yen shops.

他の百均との違いは？

We've documented these stores before, but this is our first time featuring Seria.

日本では小皿の種類が豊富です

How will it compare to other hyaku en stores?

大好きですが 使い分けが分かりません

In Japan, they have little dishes for everything and its just absolutely amazing

見るだけでも楽しいです！

And I love it but I never use it because I never know which dish is for what.

見て下さい！

But just looking at them is so much fun!

すごく可愛い！

Look at all these!

あれを見て！

Look at all these. How cute they all are!

醤油やわさび ディップにも使えそう

Just, oh my! Look at over there.

綺麗な形です

I know some are for soy sauce and some are for wasabi and stuff like that. For dipping.

お弁当グッズを買うわ

But the shapes are so cute.

再利用可能な物もあるわよ

Ok so for buying bento things,

弁当用品の豊富さが 日本の弁当文化を表しています

Not only disposable but reusable, this is a fun place to go.

袋用のクリップだね

If you need proof that bentos, or pre-made lunches, are a big deal in Japan, just look at all the bento supplies for sale!

The girls are going to buy their purchases with some of the money they got for the holidays, but are trying to work out a deal.

200円しかない！

But there is going to be tax, so can you just pay 20 cents?
