Authentic konbini<\/em> vibes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Before Miniso, Daiso is known as our one-stop shop<\/strong> when it comes to ridiculously affordable deals for anything<\/strong> — kitchenware, cables and gadgets, utensils, bathroom supplies — you name it, they have it and mostly for a low, low price of \u20b188!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, Daiso Philippines is bringing out their A-game by launching the Daiso Japan Food Hub<\/strong>, a new store under the brand dedicated to everything about food, from snacks to condiments and sauces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Daiso branches already offer chips and breads, so what makes this Food Hub different? They serve fresh, hot, to-go meals<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take these pieces of onigiri<\/em> (rice balls)<\/strong> for example. You can just grab a pack or two and you’re already covered for a light lunch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also serve these cute steamed buns<\/strong> in the shape of animals<\/strong>. Take your pick: panda, bear, rabbit, or pig steamed buns?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With to-go meals like these, the Daiso Japan Food Hub already feels like one of those konbinis<\/em> (convenience stores)<\/strong> you’ll only see in Japan, with shelves filled with all kinds of food for a quick snacking sesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’ve also teamed up with Japanese ice cream brand Mochi Creme<\/strong> to bring sweets like individually-wrapped mochi ice cream<\/strong> for dessert lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re curious to taste these mochi bread packs<\/strong>, which contain 12 pieces of ball-shaped bread pieces, available in classic or cheddar flavors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mochi Creme’s ice cream pints<\/strong> are also available in Daiso’s freezers. There are over twelve different flavors<\/strong> to choose from, but for the ultimate Japanese snack experience we recommend getting the green tea<\/strong> and azuki red bean<\/strong> pints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to frozen food<\/strong>, the Daiso Japan Food Hub holds a lot of ready-to-cook gems<\/strong> like these Wagyupsal beef and wagyu meats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also have breaded ebi fry tempura<\/strong> available, as well as their very own seafood mix<\/strong> pack which contains 500g of squid, scallops, shrimp, and other shellfish all in one pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, fans of Japanese bakery Jipan<\/strong> would be delighted to shop at the new Daiso Japan Food Hub since it includes plenty of the brand’s bread products on their shelves. They also have Jipan’s classic spreads<\/strong> available to pair with!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For drink lovers, Daiso Japan Food Hub holds numerous packs of almond milk<\/strong> — two cartons for only \u20b188! What a steal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from that, you can also find traditional Japanese drinks like ramune<\/em> sodas<\/strong> in different flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our trip to Daiso wouldn’t be complete without buying some nori<\/em> (dried seaweed) sheets<\/strong> to munch on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
