Nittele-ya Tokyo Station

Short on time

Nippon TV's shop, and the most domestic door on the street: the long-running comedy programme Shoten and the weather mascot Sora Jiro, with sweets and boxed souvenirs alongside. It is a shop for someone who watches Japanese television, and it is honest about that rather than pretending to be an anime shop.

To know · The souvenir sweets are the part that works for anyone — boxed, sealed and made to be carried onto a train, which is the whole point of a shop in a station.

Trap · Sora Jiro is a weather forecast's mascot and Shoten is a rakugo panel show that has run since 1966. Neither means anything without the television, so do not come here expecting anime.
