According to a
dictionary, a “drugstore” is a shop where drugs and medicines are sold or given
out, and where you can buy cosmetics, some household goods, and drinks and
snacks. Right. That’s what I know about a drugstore. Japanese drugstores are
also like that.
Some of them, especially
the ones located around the area for tourists have become like “tea shop”. I
already knew tons of Matcha sweets and foods are sold there.

Recently, tea such
as Sencha and Hojicha are on the shelves. And what is more surprising, they are
BIG! One-kilogram bag!!! I’ve never seen such a big bag at the retailers.
That’s for wholesalers!! Obviously, they are for tourists from abroad, but I’m curious
how many bags are sold a day.
