100 yen shop / 99 yen shop

100 yen shop (Hyaku yen shop)
is now everywhere and it's very popular.

Most of their goods are quite good in quality and
they don't look like it's only 100 yen.

The Daiso, the largest chain store in Japan,
has over 2,400 shops in Japan and 350 shops
in other countries.

You can find almost everything there, from a pen to
pasta sauce.  

The other major 100 yen shop 'Can Do', some of the
stores are located upstairs of the supermarckets or 
inside of big shopping malls.

There are now some competitors around as well.
They are 'Shop 99', and 'Down Town 99'.
Yes, their price is 99 yen!
But not everything.  They do sell Obento lunch box for
around 300 yen.  So please check the price before
you pick up things.

It's fun just going inside and have a look, you might
end up coming out the shop with bags full of goodies!!
