Pretty bento boxes are pretty. Especially neko bento. Not that I'm into making sophisticated lunches, but I still can appreciate an idea of pretty lunch box ))) The Japanese shops in Düsseldorf have definitely broarden my horizons of pretty things

I guess everyone heard of fancy Japanese toilets with multiple technological features. But this is the first time I've seen one. Of course in Japanese store in Düsseldorf. All the descriptions are only in Japanese as Japanese people are the target group for such a purchase. I cannot think of a single German who would waste 799 EUR for this high-tech gadget.

I was in Düsseldorf for JLPT and greatly enjoyed the Japanese quarter in the city. Lots of shops, restaurants and sushi-bars.

Pretty things like these sushi candle (すしキャンドル) - totally useless, but oh! so pretty!
