Twenty Unique Things in Japan

Really I can't count how many times I've heard that Japan is a unique country different from the rest of the world. he got me wondering and one day I just couldn't take it I started my own research in spoiler alert it was first shattering kind of like Godzilla when I have Pringles soup when in Japan are you going in the mood for dinner with a huge plush Moomin and a Japanese Cafe not a problem at all and let me tell you that's just the beginning.

1.    Most people know that a sure sign they can cross the road is the little lit up green man, well not in Japan there you should wait for a green rabbit called Miffy this bunny is a creation of Dick Bruna. a Dutch offer of children's books how did this rabbit make it to Japan being super simple it looks very much like the Hello Kitty. the Japanese are in love with it.

2.    Ever tried those amazing head massagers that are said to reduce stress and rid you of headaches cool, huh in Japan you can get a lazy and much more creative alternative to this advice it's electric and looks like a big multi-colored octopus.

3.    You're probably used to sitting on a chair when visiting a bar or a cafe?  you might ask me “when you're talking about ?” what else am I supposed to sit on. Well in Japan Cafe cheers look more like low comfortable armchairs and if you try hard enough you can even lie on one of them such pieces of furniture called Izakaya which is also the name of the informal Japanese pubs where you can find them.

4.     In Japan, they grow square watermelons know it's not a slip of the tongue that would have been square watermelon. In Kagawa prefecture, they produce a couple hundred square watermelons a year these watermelons aren't genetically modified or anything like that it's just that such a shape makes it easier to deliver the fruit to retailers, unfortunately, most square watermelons get harvested before they're ripe and therefore they're not meant for eating right away. But if you decide to get one it's the cost will be impressive about $ 15 to $ 20 per box

5.    Pringles have been incredibly popular all over the world for decades however when you buy Pringles in Japan you don't get a tube of potato chips you get noodles yep Pringles is a noodle brand and the Japanese eat this Ramen very often.

6.    Usually a coffee machine is a simple thing several buttons for choosing a drink to your liking and standard paper cups in Japan however a coffee machine is so much more first there's a service that lets you order your coffee in a special app and pick it up in the most conveniently located store at a particular time but on top of that you get your drink not in a plastic or paper cup but in a bottle that can be customized with the help of multicolored tags.

7.    What would be more natural for us westerners then to visit the nearest cafe order a coffee and a sandwich and enjoy our lunch break sitting alone at the table but in Japan if you come to a cafe alone you get a massive plush moment as your lunch companion so that you don't feel sad.

8.    Animal shaped cookies are always fun to eat aren't they know that feeling of anticipation when you put your hand in the bag and try to guess which Critter you're going to leave next few carnivores in Japan you can play the same guessing game but they're your catch will be Pokemon shaped cookies

9.    every single time I eat sushi rice balls out the pieces of fish as soon as I pick them up with my Chopsticks, now in Japan though people don't have this problem they make the rice with a special sauce that consists of salt sugar and rice vinegar is sauce keeps the rice together and allows you to bring Sushi up to your mouth in one peace.

10.    A holiday meal means tons of tasty food and of course a big roast turkey, but if you ever celebrate the holidays while in Japan don't be surprised to be treated with KFC instead of more traditional food the thing is that in this country eating food from KFC for the holidays is a widely practiced tradition.

11.    In the Ginza District of Tokyo there's an unusual stationery store which Rises 12 floors the store sells high-quality stationery and each of its levels has a different concept for example on the second floor you'll find the shared space where there are things necessary for sending your thoughts to other people like envelopes letter paper and postcards you can write a letter write been in there and send it immediately from where you are and on the 4th floor in the meeting space you can create an original notebook with a cover and paper of your choice and your name engraved on it number to well.
