Saizen Daiso in Robinsons Galleria

There's a hyaku en (100 yen) store called Saizen (Daiso) in Robinsons Galleria, where you'll find products from Japan for only P85 per item.

There's something novel about entering a store and finding products that all have the same price. Even more interesting is the fact that the array of products will give you a glimpse into some facet of Japanese culture.

For example, you'll find paper sheets that you can stick over the bathroom drain to help you easily catch fallen hair (just peel and throw). You'll also find packets of wet or moist tissue, soft shoe insole pads, micro cloth gloves for cleaning your computer monitor, ziplock bags for little items, hooks to neatly arrange your hangers, packs containing twenty pieces of shoelaces, rubber buttons to prevent your vibrating radios from sliding off the table, colorful non-slip mats, toilet seat paper covers, uniquely designed mats to keep cats away from your flower beds...

...and lots more. Yes, some people are fond of neatness, order, tranquility, and that zen state you achieve when you go shopping and lose yourself among the aisles and shelves of the Saizen (Daiso) Japanese hyaku en shop at the third level (Ortigas wing) of Robinsons Galleria.

What are you waiting for? Visit Saizen at Robinsons Galleria today and shop to your heart's delight. Major credit cards are accepted, and you are also free to stare at the wonderful stationery products and sideways notebooks in the shelves towards the left.
